Argh i had a real doozy with Ayja on wednesday. After visiting daycare i went to walk over to the doctors, to find that our buggy had flat tyre, i took it over to mike's work so he could pump it up but it turned out to be a nasty puncture. so he dorps me off at the doctors, with 2 kids, Ayja in the front pack and Paris on her "leash" as he calls it. just a little pink wrist band thing really that attaches to both our wrists.. i still hold her hand. anyway, sitting in the waiting room Ayja decides to well and truely fill her nappy, and you guessed it, since she was in a front pack, there wasn't really anywhere for it to go except out the edges of her nappy. of course, i didn't know this till i took her pants off as the nurse was about to give her her Menz-b jab. her fluffies were full and a lovely yellow colour. how embarassing!!!

so she had her jab, and i then managed to get her changed, luckily it only went into her fluffies not her pants, so she just went fluffie-less for the rest of the day.

oh yeah, and never again am i taking both kids up town without a buggy! Paris was a little Angel, and Ayja went to sleep in the front Pack. but wow, it took me nearly an hour to get back over from the doctors to mikes work cos Paris walks soooo slowly. poor girl.

Tami... I had a similar thing with my little girl at about the same stage. She was always awake between 6pm and midnight.. would sleep for maybe an hour, but then would wake up. Usually I'd get her settled, then put her down & she'd wake within 10mins crying. The doctor put it down to reflux (she's a bit spilly too), and put us on Zantac. She's much more settled now, although 7.5 hours is the longest she's gone between feeds at 11 weeks. It doesn't really bother me as the night feeds are pretty quick.. she eats and then goes back to sleep.

I tried all manner of things to get her to settle in the evenings, and I don't know which was the one that fixed it.. could have been the Zantac, the dairy & chocolate free diet, making sure she feeds more regularly & longer during the day or just the fact that she's growing up! We still have some nights where it takes a couple of hours for her to settle properly, but nothing like it was at 6 weeks.

Back to the sleeping thing.. it's pretty normal for babies this young to vary heaps. Ayja has had a few nights where she has slept from 8.30 pm till 6.30 am.. it was bliss, but each time i woke up panicking thinking something was wrong. other nights she wakes up every 2 hours. definately try and get some sleep during the day Tami, otherwise you will find you will end up going slightly batty very soon even if you don't think you are that tired.. my bet is, go for an afternoon nap if you can and you'll wake up feeling so much better. ]]> Tue, 09 Aug 2005 21:49:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=834&PID=13199&title=sleepless-nights#13199 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=834&PID=13198&title=sleepless-nights#13198 Author: mum2paris

only problem with that is that if you buy nappies specially designed for boys, they usually have more padding aroudn the front to absorb where it is needed most.. turning it around means yhou don't get that, but other than that it might work for a while, that and maybe buy some small sized boys undies, or overpants and put them over the top so that he has to figure out how to get them off first.]]> Tue, 09 Aug 2005 21:45:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=834&PID=13198&title=sleepless-nights#13198 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=834&PID=13169&title=sleepless-nights#13169 Author: lizzle

LOL, I know of at least 8 or 9 people that have resorted to masking tape, it sounds horrible but it saves the clothes, bed not to mention the carpet if there is something particuly nasty in their nappy.

My son started to sleep through at six weeks but I was told by doctors this was cause he grew so fast (he wasn't even in the 100th percentile on growth charts he was off the page and now at 3 he is as big as a six or seven year old)so with sleep I was very lucky but learned quickly that routines never stay around and are allways changing ie whilst experiencing growth spurts blah blah. When he did have awake times (weeks)there was generaly some sleep on the horizon further down the track. If you get down about (hard not to) baby picks up on this and is reflected in thier behaviour. One trick I learned for the older baby only was offer them water and they soon work out the reward isn't worth the tears. But I wouldn't start that one until ast least three - four months of age, babies younger than that cry cause they need the food for growth.]]> Mon, 08 Aug 2005 11:23:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=834&PID=13034&title=sleepless-nights#13034 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=834&PID=13026&title=sleepless-nights#13026 Author: lizzle

Well done lizzle! Bet you are glad to be able to get a decent stretch of sleep.

I got Han back to sleeping through the night for about a week and now she is waking about 2.30am and won't go back to sleep unless she is in my bed Having huge dramas with day sleeps as well as she won't sleep at creche.

Today I made a break through when I found the Safety-sleep I have had in the cupboard since she was born. Now that the little bugger can stand up in her cot she won't go to sleep. But if she is tied down then she eventually drifts off! yay!

Tami - Great weight gain! He must be drinking a lot. Babies often wake more for feeds when they are having growth spurts too. But he sounds like a great sleeper, so you might find that he will be sleeping through the night soon enough... you never know with babies!]]> Sat, 06 Aug 2005 14:49:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=834&PID=12974&title=sleepless-nights#12974 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=834&PID=12959&title=sleepless-nights#12959 Author: lizzle
