Newborn and baby advice

@Pinky - I do what I call a "dummy run" for Connor once or twice a night...I do leave him to re-settle himself, if he is just moaning a bit, I leave him but I never let him cry...I just couldnt do it - I've wondered if I were myself creating the bad habit by doing the dummy thing, but honestly, then so be it. I've made peace with the fact that I might get up every now & then. Hein and I take turns.

Unfortunately, I dont think the formula and/or solid food will make a difference to their sleeping habits, it certainly hasn't made a difference in my case - I think its a bit of an untruth that solids equals better sleeping.

Connors sleeping habits have also been bad this last while, but he has been sick this weekend - but even before then, he wasnt sleeping as well as before....not sure why though, but, Im just hanging in there.

How is everyone elses babies sleeping?

Yes she wakes up quite a lot... I don't always get up and attend to her, I do leave her a while and then she goes back to sleep. But I get up at least twice...
Every now and then she just cries and goes back to sleep... I am giving her formula in the evening and she is eating 3 solid meals a day... I don't know why??

@Pinky - how badly is Karla sleeping? does she wake up alot at night now?

Thanks... That makes me worry a bit less!!!

@Pinky - you know what - when I took Connor to the Paed on Monday, I also thought that maybe he had something wrong with his ears, because he is always touching them and pulling on them & he shakes his head alot - as if he is saying "no" a million times over! But, the Paed checked his ears and everything was fine - maybe they are just discovering their ears now & are fascinated by it? I dont know.....but, the Paed did tell me that earache will be very sore for them and if their ears are sore they will really cry...

Hi you all

It seems like all of you are doing well!!

Karla is still sleeping absolutely terrible, don't know if it is teeth or what!!! I feel like a zombie the whole day long.

Hubby took the afternoon off to help me out so I can get some studying done, exams starts in a week and I am sooooo stressed!!

Karla is going to the paed tomorrow for her 6 month check-up (should've only been next thursday) but I think there might be something wrong with her ear, because she keeps clutching it the whole time and shaking her head... don't really know, but we'll find out tomorrow...

@ScribblingAl - My parents bought Karla's cozzie in Austria... so not in SA... I would later like to buy her a more full one for when she is going to be more in the sun... that one is just fancy!!!

Well, I am sooooooo tired, but have to study, so bye!!!

@Claudia - yeah...I can't wait to let Connor wear the sunnies, will post a pic for you ladies! The costume was pricey, I do admit that, but I splurged anyway! Shopping for Connor is totally addictive!!Can you believe that it might just start raining in JHB? I really hope so, maybe then Connor can stop getting the sniffles!!
