Ha ha - funny you should mention baby swapping, cos I am looking after a friends 4 month old today and he is pretty good, but other peoples kids make you really appreciate your own!! I also have a lot more respect for people with twins or more, two 4 month olds is hard work - esp when one is rolling everywhere but gets stuck on his tum and keeps screaming!!! ]]> Wed, 22 Feb 2006 12:28:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1564&PID=29197&title=sleep-issues-help-wanted#29197 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1564&PID=29178&title=sleep-issues-help-wanted#29178 Author: daikini

Don't think I want to swap Xanda just yet as he is doing really well at the moment but when he has another tooth cutting i will be more than happy to.

Three nights to break a habit!! Apparently! According to 'they' (as in 'they say')... So you might be there!!

Quinn was an absolute rotter with sleeping. From about six weeks he slept from 11 til 11am, I thought I was fab and couldn't see what all this baby fuss was about! Then at three months we moved house, he started waking all night every night. about six or seven times a night (by this stage I was ready to put him right back). At six months I put my foot down, decided that he no longer needed to be fed at night so just didn't. He has a dummy so I just popped that in his mouth and let him cry. It only took about two days for him to get the picture and then for a while he was back to being perfect baby!

Then he got sick... and then sneaky... anyway, point is that he still wakes up at night now and for some reason we have stopped leaving him to cry, preferring to stumble in and blindly rummage around for a dummy, stick it in his mouth and then he stops! Don't get into this habit!

Good luck with your wee babes sleeping!! It does get better!! Sounds like you're almost there!]]> Sun, 19 Feb 2006 10:31:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1564&PID=28700&title=sleep-issues-help-wanted#28700 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1564&PID=28699&title=sleep-issues-help-wanted#28699 Author: james

he he - lena you made me laugh, i wish i could train him, he is two and sometimes more trouble than the other one. thanks for the ideas tho.

well heres my update sorry its late.

on the friday night my little cherub woke at 2.30am and he went to sleep and i went back to bed at 3.50am.
i went in to him and bugger me i couldnt find the bonjela... anyway in the course of the 2 and a bit hours i changed his bum, gave him pamol just in case it was teeth, gave him a dummy and gave him water from his cup. but no titty. i knew he didnt really need it cause he was fine when i cuddled him before i put him back down.
now of course i have been advised (by mum) that i shouldnt have picked him up as well... duh.

so anyway last night we were out so his last feed was late and we had also been to the pools for a swim (well a float and play) so he was pretty tuckered out. i heard him cry about 3.30am and by the time i dragged my fat ass out of bed he had stopped (only a couple of mins). i waited about 5 mins then went to check he was still under covers and he was pretty much where i had left him. anyway i dont know how long he had been crying for before i woke up but no titty last night again.

well thats my novel. do you think two nights will be enough to break the habit? i hope so, i'm exhausted already. i'm a bit of a pain without my sleep.

thanks for your ideas and support guys...and i will work on training gabriel up.. lol    ]]> Sun, 19 Feb 2006 10:07:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1564&PID=28691&title=sleep-issues-help-wanted#28691 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1564&PID=28653&title=sleep-issues-help-wanted#28653 Author: mum2paris

I wish i had given Ayja a dummy sometimes - especially right now... cos she still won't take the bottle at daycare, so has a feed when i drop her off, one at lunch and one when i pick her up - they try her with bottles but she never drinks more than 30 or 40 mls!... so of course, she wakes at night to make up for it!... last night she had a feed at 11, woke again at 1, again at 3, again at 4.45, and then woke at 6.15 and stayed awake till about 9am. I am GOING NUTS - but i'm so tired i just feed her, cos otherwise she wouldn't settle - the crying to sleep thing doesn't work with her... she just carries on forever!      once i'm finished placement, it should sort itself out cos she'll be getting more feeds during the day so will start sleeping thru.. geez, she is just so stubborn with her bottles - she has water and heaps of food at daycare, but just won't take bottles - expressed, or formula.

anyways, can sympathize with ya Debs.. it drives you batty when baby wakes so much.]]> Sat, 18 Feb 2006 14:37:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1564&PID=28653&title=sleep-issues-help-wanted#28653 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1564&PID=28640&title=sleep-issues-help-wanted#28640 Author: AlyAyde

have decided that it doesnt matter why he is waking but rather how i deal with it. and no he doesnt need a feed - so tonight if/when he wakes i will give him bonjela in case it is teeth, sooth and retuck him in and give him a dummy. i will let him cry for 5-10 mins before i do it all again and hopefully it wont take too long for him to get the message. well thats the theory girls, lets see how it goes in reality. ]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2006 18:25:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1564&PID=28573&title=sleep-issues-help-wanted#28573 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1564&PID=28554&title=sleep-issues-help-wanted#28554 Author: nikkitheknitter

okay my boy is 7 mths old and used to sleep thru the night sometimes till 7am...
now tho he is waking at least twice in the night for a feed and is doing my head in.
Do they have growth spurts at this age?
could there be another reason i am missing?

he has 3 solid feeds a day and generally 4 breast feeds, but lately more what with waking in the night. he sleeps good during the day, generally. he has no teeth but i dont know if he is teething. he hasnt really started drooling and has sucked his hand for ages before this just cause he can i think.

is there something i am missing? could the cloth nappies be making him uncomfortable?

grrr - feel like i am going mental... and the older one has insisted on waking at 6.30 lately as well.

any ideas or thoughts appreciated.
