April 2011 babies

Hey Nicci, I'm sorry to hear that you have PND, but it's good that the meds are helping :) I ended up with it with DS, but no sign this time, touch wood. I'm going back to work on 24 Aug :(, so only 1 1/2 weeks left with my darling little girl. I like the sound of the graduated return to work policy, unfortunately I'm returning back fulltime. My SIL will be looking after Grace and Rhys will be at his daycare fulltime. Not ideal, but it will have do until something better comes along.
Grace is doing well, she been on solids since tuesday, 3 days with farex, 4 days with veges, she's a right wee piggy, lol. She was weighed on the 4th and she's only 6.2kgs, so I'm sure that will change shortly. She's also a shorty at only 58cms. She's sleeping through since last tuesday too, which will work out well with returning to work. The past 2 nights it was 13 hours, so very stoked. Before tues, she had a feed at 10.30pm each night, which we dropped with the introduction of solids. Next move is to move her into her own room, which I'm abit paranoid about, as I'm still worried another big quake could hit. I'm sure it'll all be fine though.
Well, gotta go and make a hot drink, another freezing night here tonight with the snow.

Hi
I have not had a chance to catch up on all the news. We have finally this week got broadband since we moved here! What a mare it has been on dial up... hence the complete lack of communication!!
How is everyone? All is well with my lot Sophia is on good form and is a delight.
Hope you are all well

Hi Hayley, I am no expert but is he overtired? What time does he get up? How long are you keeping him up for? Could it be wind? Teeth? How old is he now? He is probally now starting to become aware of his surroundings more so have you kept something consistant like drawing the curtains in the day, saying the same thing when you put him down to sleep?

Have you topped him up some more with milk? Is he ready for solids?? Sorry I havent been on here for such a long time so am a bit out of touch with what he has been up to!!

Sophia gets up at about 7ish and then after 2 hrs is back to bed - at the most. Then up again 1030/11ish and back to be at 1230. Lights out, room warm and curtains/blinds down. Nap again at 430 and then sleep at 7.

Hope this helps?

Hayley how are you doing? x

Hi hayley.
is he teething maybe? has he got any teethys yet??? caden has 2 but his sleep was never effected. Um... can he self settle himself to sleep??? as around 5-6 months they start fully waking between sleep cycles and if they cant self settle themselves they will wake u???
I got rid of Cadens dummy at 3 months, although I only used it for his very last down for the night sleep.... but he wouldnt take it himself i had to hold it, so hit that one on the head...
do you still wrap him? im trying to think of anything here lol... I hope he gets better for u anyways.

Oh wow... congratulations Hayley!!!!!!!!!!
Im sure you will be fine. and this time around u will know what to expect so its great news.... yay
