Becles - is there something you're not telling us???

:rotfl:

No news here! Just kept seeing the question when I opened the thread and I kept wondering what the answer was!

Hubby said 3 is enough so I'm not allowed any more babies Got serious urges for a new puppy as I lost one of my dogs earlier in the year, but he said no to that too.

MY OH says three is enough too. Actually he said two was enough when DD was a baby and it took seven years to talk him into trying for another one. The way Tom is at the moment I agree with him but I think I may change my mind when he is walking and talking and at that really cute age.

He has a couple of teeth through and keeps trying to bite and it bloody hurts! I take him off every time and say a firm NO but the message still hasn't got through. Combined with the kicking and pinching it doesn't make ffor the most relaxing of feeds!

Re teeth, Adam has 2 right next to each other on the bottom coming through. I only noticed them before when he was lay on the floor and i had a little look to see if there were any coming, they've just broken the gum which could explain why he's been a bit grumpy for the past couple of days. And he can sit up on his own too only for a few minutes though and then he gets the wobbles, was a bit worried that he may be behind a little at 8 1/2 months or am i expecting too much? Been so long since DS1 i've forgotten what babies do and when.

Went to Adam's physio appointment today and he's been reffered to someone else who has a speciality in feet, when he is stood his left foot turns out and looks really puffy compared to his right.

OMG i go back to work on the 18th, really really not looking forward to it.
Had applied for another job, had an email confirming an interview so off i went quite excited and hopeful only to find out once i'd got there and given my name that there were 2 of us with the same surname and the email i'd got was really meant for the other person

But hey ho, have applied for 2 more and i'm gonna get over it and let my hair down tomorrow night on my future SIL hen night.

Sorry for the long post

Charlotte didn't sit unaided until she was 10 months. Then she went from sitting, to crawling, to pulling herself up in about a month, then she didn't walk unaided until last week and she's nearly 15 months now.

They all develop differently, so I wouldn't worry about him not sitting up just yet.

Hope you get his foot problem sorted and hope the return to work isn't too bad. Have a good night out :beer:

yippee!! we went out last night for the first time in ages (little boy is 10 weeks old)!! We got our wee man down to sleep at 7.30 and he normally sleeps until at least 2am so my friend came over and watched him for us. Although when we were out my husband kept talking about the baby and showing pictures and i had to try hard not to think about him cos I knew my boobs would fill up!! We were only out for a couple of hours but at least we know we can start having a wee bit of time to ourselves every now and then, it was really nice. Of course i sprinted through the front door and straight down to baby to look at him for about half an hour when we got home!

Good for you Nadnad :beer: Don't think we went out for months after Imogen was born, but it is nice to get that time the two of you.

Imogen has just got back from five days at my mum's house. She's had a fab time and is firmly Gramps' girl. Her language has come on leaps and bounds and she looked like a different child when we picked her up, so much older.

Today when we went out in the car she waved and said "bye house" then pointed at the steering wheel and said "mummy's car". We're getting a lot of 2-word phrases (including her saying "stop it" when she knows she's being naughty, little madam!)

Thanks for all the good wishes about the job. Hopefully I'll find out what's going on tomorrow and whether the opportunity will be there. I'm not unhappy with my job at the moment, but this would be my absolute dream. I'm not holding my breath though.

Suzuki - all sounds normal to me. We always want to worry don't we?!

cazscoob

am looking for advice have 4 kids and the oldest 3 all slept all night from day one however no 4 will not sleep all night hence why im up at this time????

he goes down no prob at around 8pm but is up at 1am and 3am before getting up at 7.30. he is now 6 1/2months and thought that he would be sleeping allnight by now but no such luck. have tried everything such as extra milk at night, waking him as i go to bed to give him more, changing his milk, rusk/porridge/baby rice at bedtime and still no luck lol. oh i also got some of the nighttime milk to try but he got up even more during the night.
he doesnt sleep much during the day spending most of the time rolling around and shouting. please help i feel like a zombie!!!!

We didnt get on with the night time milk. Made son get really bad griping wind. Complained to manufacteur and got £10 token back as all my friends were having same trouble,

As for little one. Maybe he needs a better nap during the day. the saying is a more a baby sleeps the more a baby will sleep....def true for my son. If not enough sleep in day wakes up at night.

By his age i think the advise is not to offer him milk through the night. He needs to break the association of waking foir reward (milk). Maybe offer him just water?

Must be tough with 4 kids as I'm sure you are prob trying not to let him wake them up. However as its the school hols maybe its the ideal time to sort the waking out.

Mine is 10mths now and went through a waking phase just as I went back to work......complete hell.

Cazscoob, with only one kid I hesitate to give any advice - you're way ahead of me in the parenting game! However, I am with MrsToBe - naps during the day were definitely the key for DS to sleep through.
From 5 months onwards Ds had regular naps for an hour or two every 3 hours or so? He used to have a nap after his tea, then be up again by 8pm. He'd go down around 11pm and then wake at 7am - I needed him to sleep through at that time so I could cope - I couldn't have gone to bed at 8pm.
This lasted 6 months or so, which worked for us, and then he started to sleep from 7-7 at 11 months.
