Shame, Tay does the same thing, she sleeps at 22h00, wakes up at 2h30 and then its a mission to get her to sleep again, Then I rock her, I sing to her,I try to give her extra milk, but doesnt work, so eventually at about 4 she dozes off , and by then I`m dead tired!

I am having the same problem as you.... Nathan will sleep in my arms, but as soon as I put him down he wakes up and starts to cry. Also is he having a bad sleep patorn. sleeps from 20:00 to 22:00 then he wakes up, feed him, change nappy, he goes to sleep till 24:00 and then he doesnt sleep at all till the next day at around 7:30-8:00. I nonly get max 3 hours sleep in, and are so tired.

Congrats babyshoes and wilma. You ladies had big babies! Liam ir 2 weeks old now and the only problem i have with him is that he likes to be carried all the time. This is seriously stressing me out because he cries as soon as i put him down. I don't have time to do anything else. Breastfeeding is going well and my nipples aren't cracking anymore but they do get sore. Hope all is well with you and your los.

Thanks Deja!

Hey Wilma
Congrats on lil Dewald!
Oh hun I feel for you - I am having the same problem with Luke - he does not want to latch (even bought pigeon nipple caps - still not much luck)... So my mom bought me a breast pump and I too am expressing and feeding him (and you are right - what a mission)...

To all other mommies - hope you are all enjoying your lil one's as much as I am.

Luke is wonderful and I am such a proud mommy!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi, Dewald was born at 8h35 on the 19th• Birthweight 3.3kg. I had a spinal, my bloodpresure kept on dropping, did not enjoy that at all. Dewald is a very relaxed baby. I'm trying to breastfeed, but my lazy lo does not want to latch so I'm expressing and bottle feeding. What a mission.

Hi Dee.

I breastfeed her first thing in the morning when she wakes up, then again in the afternoon , say twelfe-ish , then from 6 o clock late afternoon I breastfeed her on demand.
She actually indicates to me when she wants her Boobie, coz the minute I pick her up she turns her head to the side and starts suckling until I give it to her. If I give her formula when she does that she pushes the bottle out with her tongue, and this for a 6 week old

As for formula , that I give her whenever she cries, and I want to calm her down. I tried to get her into the "3 hourly routine" but that didnt work, will see after a month.

Anyhow, I took Tay in for her 6 weeks shots, Oh my word????
The sister gave her 3 shots and everytime she injected the needle into her little thigh I felt like there ws a dagger going through my heart. I thought I was much stronger than this, but hell mommies..
the last shot was bad , and after she put the plaster on Tay started bleeding and it stained her clothes, when I dressed her I saw it and wanted to beat that sister down

ag, its all done, and Tay is sleeping peacefully, I just dunno what to expect when she wakes up...... My poor baby, shame man...
