Little miss will settle for OH in the night but not for me I always have to bring her into our bed, where she fidgets and faffs all night long and keeps me awake!

We've had months of exactly that - fidgeting and faffing all night! Touch wood it's better now, although last night was pretty awful OH won't even attempt to settle her though - she just stands up in her cot and says 'DADDY!!!!!', then wants to play! She still associates me with comfort, food and sleep, and him with fun and games...

If OH attempts to settle LO during the night she initially gives smiles then screams even louder until he calls me in/ brings her to me

Hi,

I appear to have a very smiley, but sicky baby...

He is giggly and cooey and smiles WONDERFULLY and looks genuinely happy, and then boom.. vomits everywhere.
Then goes back to being smiley and cooey again...

This is happening every day, there is a little bit (posset sized, but smells sicky and is clear with lumps) after practically every feed and then at around 6pm there is a more forceful bigger, smile induced, sick that smells very sicky and again has lumpy bits in it like curdled milk.

As he generally seems happy, is this anything to worry about, or just something babies do..?
I'm trying to see the HV tomorrow at her drop-in as we don't have another visit booked in... and hopefully can weigh him then too to check he is gaining...

Seems to be a little more sick and less possetting than I expected though...

(he is 5 and a half weeks)

Is it wrong that I'm slightly jealous that your OH's try to settle the baby? I know mine hears her but he never ever gets up!

Our bed is against the wall and I'm in the inside, so he has to go plus when he was first born I was attempted to breastfeed/expressing etc so he just got into the habit of settling him, and he's done it since. He does bath time and bed every but I'm a SAHM and he is at work all day so it's daddy bear and baby bear time while I tidy up from dinner. I don't ask him now I just say 'change A's bum' etc

Claree, my OH has never gotten up to A - and in the morning if I bring her in, he'll turn over and pull the duvet over his head! Saying that he has just gone up to try and resettle her whilst I finish my job application! He did it... then (judging from what I'm hearing) put her down.

Mine didn't used to... but then the cute little baby that would snuggle up on his arm and sleep like a log without moving turned into an even cuter toddler, who fidgets, turns around, wakes up and talks to him (I'm not kidding, sometimes she says more to him at night than she says some afternoons!) and is heavy on his arm He has now decided it is better to just get up and see her than get no sleep at all :rotfl:

I wish my oh would put some effort in, I even threatened to leave last night. If I knew how to I would! We'd just had tea and he was sitting in the sofa ignoring lo like most days so I said get on the floor and interact with him, he led on the floor chucking one of Los toys in the air, so I said do something like rolling a ball to him! Why should I need to tell my sons father to interact? He actually said ill interact tomorrow (because he's watching him while I work today) can you believe that?

Hugs MrsShaworth that must be really hard xx my OH is pretty good with the kids especially the 3yr old! He doesn't always wake for the night feeds but he's very good during the day. Xx
