Clingy Baby

I dont know what to do we are having one of those days where shes super clingy and wont sleep or stop crying unless i pick her up, i cant wear a front pack for ages coz my back is screwed again, if i put her in her bouncer she cries, if i put her in her bassinett next to me she screams and so it goes on!!!

I barely have time to eat or do anything...

Could well be a growth spurt, babies often have them around Ella's age. G's mum is right tho, all you ca really do is lug her around and give her a couple of extra feeds. Growth spurts don't usually last too long before they settle into a new feeding routine.

Lycan was like that after he had his injections. It took me a couple of days to get him back to settling down by himself. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the injections or if he was having a growth spurt.

Yer shes now sleeping on me lol i give up!!! hehe

Def not from injections she had hers last week

Tell me about it, Paris has gone up so many shoe sizes this year already - her new ones we had to get her the other day were size 8.. at the start of this year she was lucky if she was a size 5!

Ayja is having days like all your bubs too.. last night, she had woken from her afternoon sleep at 2.30.. we tried to put her down at 7pm.. nup, we were still dealing with her at 9pm. I was so angry.

Today.. i am having a battle rightnow.. she is dog tired.. but is currently standing in her cot screaming at me.. she has been since i tried to get the girls to bed at about 1.30.. i have been in 2 times to resettle her etc..she is just being a grotter today. by the time i get her to sleep.. Paris will wake up and I'll get no kid-free time. My only day off this week and i think i will give the girls a half day so that i can spend time with them.. sometimes i really wonder why when Ayja is being like this!

Hey Janine, sounds like Ayja has the same temperment as Ella! They would probably get on really well! (or clash lol) If anyone wants to talk about kids not sleeping, I'm the one to talk to - we are finally getting a break at night now she's sleeping amazingly.. but it took until all of her teeth came through to get there.

Hey Jess, maybe she's teething?
