I'll make it 2 posts mozzyc!

Nothing much to say, went shopping with Poppy today and bought my husband the new ipad for his birthday this Saturday! (I'm now bankrupt!!)

All good here, I've been given some tablets from my Doctor for PND, my moods were getting worse and when I explained how I was feeling to the Doctor she said it was definitely postnatal depression. Been taking them for 10 days now and my moods are much better and me and my husband haven't argued for over a week now - which is a record! The only down-side is the tablets make me feel quite sick, so I take them just before bed time.

Hope all OK and I'm not just talking to myself!!

Not talking to yourself haha!

Glad the tablets are working Janninew. What did he prescribe you? Cipralex? The main thing is that you are responding to them well.

Hopefully meeting up with Lucy for a walk today, so this bloody rain must pee off! Need to start losing my jelly belly!

Right, hoping I can get Charlie to sleep for another hour! x

Hia guys! Been months since I posted on the pregnancy/early days of this thread. I recognise a few names but some newbies here around the last page. Will have to go back a few pages to catch the thread but just wanted to post to say I'm still around, just an extremelly busy and flustered new mum!

My little man is now six months old and is doing great. Trying to crawl but only going round in circles and rolling backwards and forwards on his playmat so very happy.

Looking forward to going though the thread and seeing how his contemporaries are doing now x

Afternoon All!

My little boy is 3 months old and is not sleeping through the night. I know some babies don't until they are older but he wakes up 3-5 times a night :eek:

We put him down between 8-8.30pm every night and he can wake at 11.30, 2, 4, 5 and 6am. He is still in the same room as us and is breastfed most of the time - we give him a bottle at lunchtime and just before bedtime.

Does anyone have any advice on how to cut down on a few feeds through the night?

Thanks in advance!

Hi lisa :-) my 10 month boy still wakes twice a night to feed so 3-5 for a 3 month bf baby isnt unusual at all. Maybe try to delay the 4am to merge with 5 am feed if ur desperate for sleep?

Babies have growth spurts around 3, 6 and 9 months so dont be surprised if you have to feed hourly around these times!

Oh, my little man has a tooth coming through! Yay :-)

Nope they are called sertraline, the Doc said they would be suitable to take as I'm still breastfeeding. They made me feel very sick and tired for the first few days, but that's worn off now and they seem to be doing the job.

Hope your walk was nice, has been raining here today, so me and Poppy have had a lazy day watching telly!

My poor husband just called really upset, some scum bag has keyed our new car. We have just bought a new, black polo and we had it professionally cleaned at the weekend and today my husband has noticed a scratch right down one side. He's the kind of man who takes really good care of his car and I know he's going to be very upset tonight.

Will be on cheering up duty today, I really hope people who do this kind of thing to people's property get the karma they deserve.

Hope all are ok.

Lisa, I found Seb kept waking up if he didn't feed for long enough. I know it sounds mean, but maybe try keeping him awake to feed him a little more at the 4am feed, Seb also seems to sleep longer after a formula feed, maybe changing timings of formula might help you out.
