Hi all
I am on my laptop at last. Keep reading the updates on my phone and its such a schlep posting from there.
I took Sion for his 6 weeks injections. Shame, he is so sore. His legs are really sore, I feel so sorry for him. I wrapped them TIGHTLY and then he's calm but if he can kick (when changing diaper) he CRIES so heartsore. He now weighs 5.4kg's. Big little man! He is also 57cm tall, was only 49cm at birth. So he GREW!
Chanz, basically I just don't keep him awake more than 45 minutes at a time. I just check for any signs of over-stimulation and then I take him to a dark room, wrap him tight, put on a calm CD and put him to bed. I did it with Nienke as well. Several things can overstimulate them, from the perfume someone has on, to sounds, to light. I can see Sion does not like hard, heavy music. (For instance MK type of music.) Even smelling smoke can overstimulate a baby. Just watch out for signs and then calm him, take him to a calm, "safe-feeling" place and give his senses a chance to get a break.
Not sure how you'll get Michael to sleep through, though. If they are still hungry at night or need that feed, then he'll wake up. But if you can put him down without him fussing and crying at night, then at least you can go right back to sleep. Otherwise, try cluster-feeding him from 5pm until 8pm. Wake him up at 10:30pm for a good feed and see how it goes? That's all I know, I did that with Nienke and she slept through but Sion's hungry at night.
Elrike, ek sou de bliksem in gewees het as iemand op my kind gePIE het! Ek sou sê gaan praat met die ouers.
Tanz, I'm suppose to be 54kg's and am only 1.65 tall. LOVE die foto's! Die vingertjie in die mond is adorable!
