The wind is horrible, Emma gets pretty bad somedays too, that sounds like my day every day haha
If it makes you feel any better. I put rem down at 12 today, woke at 12.30 screaming, tried burping for 15 mins put him back down, screamed, tried getting him to sleep for 20 mins ... Screaming, burped again, actually got a big burp, tried putting back down, screamed. Picked up tried burping again for 15 mins, another big burp. Tried putting back down. Screamed. By this stage it was 1.45 so I finally settled him down and passed out on me. No food for me today. This wind is driving me crazy!
Now that I have her Medicare sorted I'm going to try get a referral for a sleep clinic if it doesn't get better
Or even try another peadeatrician! Or a naturopath maybe for help
I find it really hard getting the balance of self soothing but also not babying too much Coz I don't want him to learn that I'll come running picking him up whenever he calls. It's really hard. I find the 2 minute 1 minute thing works for me Coz it gives me a guideline. You can get on YouTube too and look up videos on the different cries! I'm getting used to his cries now.
Yeah I can't either. I couldn't let him feel abandoned. My sister in law did that with all her girls and I feel sorry for them, especially it they were in some sort of pain 😭 when I put him down I let him cry for 2 mins, at the two minute mark I go in and do a song and pat his bum, if still crying I do again after 1 minute but if he's still crying after that I know something is hurting him so usually pick him up and burp him then he's fine and goes to sleep. Maybe the first thing to try do is get her to be on her own awake in the bassinet, I started out just with 30 seconds, (not picking him up when he woke up) then 1 minute just entertain him a bit but don't pick up. Then grafually I lengthened it so now he has 15-20 mins awake play time in his cot when he wakes up. You could grafually try that to help her be okay with being on her own in the bassinet? I would give him the dummy to start with and if I left the room for like half a second I always said, I'll be back and then say mummy's back when I came back in. I thought it was hopeless the first day I tried Coz he lost it but I just persevered and made it a few seconds longer each time.
No doesn't seem like pain, more of a separation anxiety, no reflux, she does have a few colicky hours of a night but the cry changes to a more ' I don't want you to leave me' rather than a 'I'm in pain, my stomach hurts' I asked the local paediatrician the othe today and she just told me to let her cry it out 😫😖 o can't do that, babies cry for a reason and I don't want to make her feel like she's being abandoned.
Okay.. Do you reckon she's in pain at all when she starts crying when you put her down? what I did with him at her age was one morning woke him up at 7, kept him awake till 8.15 then put him down till 9.45 (soon enough this ended up being too big of a nap for him so he I changed the time to 9, then I keep him awake till 11 - feed, then put down at 12-2.30 then awake till 4.30 for a 45 minute nap, no sleeping later than 5 Coz I put him down again at 7. I don't do the cry it out but I do have a bit of a method for teaching him to self soothe. After sticking to that for about 2-3 weeks the nights started getting better. He knew what to expect out of the day and night routine. I just wish he didn't have wind still! Ugh sometimes takes me ages still to get the wind up. She's not vomiting is she or having trouble burping?
She does a good 6 hour stretch when she does sleep of a night. She has 2-3 hour awake times during the day then an hour ish sleep.
aw poor hubby lol! Ohhh. How much is she sleeping in the day? When she passes out in the night does she sleep in late into the morning?
He's terrified of planes haha & heights, he gets nauseous sitting on a swing, haha. I've tried cutting the tea and some mornings I have milo instead and it's no difference she's just all over the place, she absolutely loathes being wrapped, cries the second I do it, haha. We Try and aim for 5.30 bath time, so she's content while I start cooking dinner, which normally works but then as soon as its time to eat she wails again so dinner is always cold for me haha. I put her in the bassinet in the dark and let her self soothe but it takes 0.5 seconds to turn to a full panic attack.
@steph194, hubs won't fly? Awww that sucks for you haha! Oh you poor thing. Ummm well maybe try a week of no green tea Coz that has a fair amount of caffeine. Do you wrap her for bed? I had to keep little man awake in the day to change his body clock too. Hardest thing ever but it did pay off for me after a couple of weeks. I started a pretty strict routine with him Coz he just napped all day long and was awake every hour or two at night. And I had periods like from 2-4 where he just cried and cried. Started a routine in the afternoon before bed, which might be hard with Eli, but basically it was nude play, bath, massage, feed in his pitch black room then his bed time song every time I put him down. He seems to know the song means sleep now. I also have to wrap him up like a constricted worm lol! Or else he flaps his arms and tries to suck his hands and wakes himself up constantly!
And I've been starting to keep her up more during the day or she would sleep the day away. But it seems that it's making her worse and she gets over tired overstimulated and unmanageable.
Ahaha, I would love my honeymoon there but hubs won't fly, 😒. Haha that's alright, I take no offence, but no been turned off it completely since she was born. And I only have a cup of green tea of a morning and no other caffeine throughout the day so I have no freaking idea what is going on right now.😭
Ohhhh so you move to Canada and leave the kids here? I get it hahah 😂 Canada is the best place ever. We went for our honeymoon. I would love to live there. Argghhh poor thing. You'll probably hate me for saying this but are you drinking much coke still... ? Is she sleeping in the day?
It's far enough where I won't hear the kids crying haha. I've always wanted to go though, i think it's just a subconscious response when i am in meltdown mode haha. And no, she won't sleep of a night at all, 6.00pm until after midnight she just cries and cries and cries. Cries while feeding, while burping, when getting nappy changed. The second I walk away from her she just wails. We're not getting to sleep until 1-2am on a good night and I'm exhausted. @carlyanaya
Hahah why you want to move to Canada? I mean I do too it's the best place ever.
Yeah most day sleeps are like that. I'm lucky he has gotten good at nights. Emma will get better. It sucks while we are in it. I hope you can find a clinic to help.
