Is it possible my baby hates sleeping bags?? We've been without swaddling for about 4 nights now, but in sleeping bag the last 2 which have been terrible. Wondering now if it's coincidence as part of swaddle weaning or he has some aversion to them? Nt too hot or cold. search me, this kid confuses me

How warm is the nursery Aless? David hasn't slept in a sleeping bag for weeks as it has been way too warm.He just sleeps in a vest or a sleepsuit...... I am not the best person to give advice on baby sleep though...... having said that David went from 6.30 - 4.30 with just 1 wake last night :j. Unfortunately, I was wide awake from 10.30 - 3.00


Hugs SM

Would someone like to come and do my job for me?? I have been here for 30mins already had a LARGE coffee from starbucks to try and keep me awake and it's failing

A mixture of hayfever, aches, Daniel up at stupid o'clock due to his back teeth coming through are making me feel like a little old lady today.

Alfie hasn't been sleeping in his sleeping bags for a while either, just a sleepsuit.

Busy day today baking. Making some teacher and graduation themed cupcakes which should be fun.

Off to get ready now as picking my grandma up in 20 minutes.

Will be on later for the hen night, if not before

It's not actually that warm in there - my cheapie paper thermometer thingee says usually around 22ish (it stays quite cool as there's only 1 window that never gets direct sun). The thing is, until a few days ago, he used to be swaddled in a flanelette sheet and then placed under another sheet in the cot, which I think feels heavier than the 1 tog sleeping bag...so he's used to heat being around his body IYSWIM. If he kicks off again today, I may have to just abandon the sleeping bags (which were still in their wrappers until last week...was trying to get my money's worth before he outgrew them ). Oh and he's in just a vest as far as clothing goes...

Go David!! :j:j:j

Aless, out of curiousity, did swaddling Finn when he started rolling worry you? I stopped swaddling David a long time ago - when he started rolling - as I worried about him rolling on to his face and not being able to push himself back over with his hands

Morning,

I had a rubbish night. Holly slept well. Went down at 8.30pm with no protestations and slept until 7am. I was up most of the night though. Couldn’t get to sleep for feeling sick and ended up having to make myself sick. I made hubby get up with H at 7 before he got ready for work so I could steal an extra half hour. I still feel sick now though. I could do with a relaxing day of napping and watching tennis, but I have friends coming for dinner tomorrow so have lots to do. I suppose I could do stuff in the house like cleaning :eek: today so I can watch the tennis, and go to the shops in the evening for ingredients and make dessert tonight.

We still use a 1 tog sleeping bag, with just a vest underneath, but we probably aren’t as hot as you all have it. It’s about 23 degrees in the nursery most nights (although did go up to 25 when it was at it’s hottest).

Aless – are you trying to make Finn nap at particular times? If so, maybe he is just not a routine baby and you could try relaxing the routine a bit and letting him guide you? You have probably tried everything though so I’m just clutching at straws! I really do feel for you.
I honestly think if Holly was a really bad sleeper, I wouldn’t consider having any more. I just don’t have the patience. You, Hammy and WM do very well considering your lack of sleep.

And well done again to Squishy for making Tara’s card! I am sure you did a lovely job. It was very thoughtful. x

Hi all xx

aless - Elena hates her sleeping bag too: she kept trying to fight her way out of them, so we don't use them anymore.

I managed to get a bit of sleep last night which was good! Bubs still wakes up at least once or twice to be fed, and is currently refusing to sleep in her cot so is in with us. She is rolling over lots though, and seems to have decided she wants to sleep on her tummy.

She is also almost crawling! She is desperate to be moving and is putting a lot of effort into it all

Hehe, thanks all. I stopped swaddling because I felt like he's 6 months old and it's about time to stop - he had graduated from a tight swaddle to a loose (Google "Aussie swaddle") one several weeks ago, but he was starting to break out that several times a night. He actually never rolled in the swaddle!

Fitz - he naps based on when he last woke up, but we've been doing this since he was around 8 weeks old, so it's something he's very much used to. I do try and stay flexible based on his mood and such. By and large, his naps are generally very good - it's only the nighttimes which are a battle! And even they, like it sounds like Hammy deals with, are a bit random (as in, I can't see a pattern in the nights he sleeps well & the nights he doesn't).

It's okay, I'm not really looking for advice anyway...just like to come on here to have a moan.

Oh and I don't have much patience either...had a mini-breakdown at 5am this morning after being up every hour...I'm better these days about keeping my cool, but 2/3 nights of hourly wake-ups is usually my limit.
