Busy Baby

My kids didn't like to be swaddled at all. I now know my daughter is closterphobic. She still absolute hates it if she cannot move freely. She is 18 and gets totally histerical if you hold her down.
I used to feed them when they woke up, I did not wait for them to cry, because it is harder to feed them once they are upset already.

the babysense ones are also amazing and are elastic so even if she is still swaddled she can still move a bit.

I was told my girls (especially Kayla) was really really lazy when I went for my scans! LOL.

Sounds like swaddling will help then. There's a little swaddle blanket you get that you can wrap them in from snug and save - I used that to keep Megan warm, you can make it quite tight if you want to. Will try get a pic and will be nice for winter.

Julz I hold her on my lap and in my arm.

This morning I fed her , she didn't cry but while feeding her she kick and she moves her head in all directions an all I do is try and keep the bottle in her mouth. She was hungry and finished her bottle.I think I must swaddle her when I feed her as well.

Joli I have cold and hot water ready for her when she needs her bottle so I just take it from the flask.She doesn't always cry when she is eating , like this morning and then her hands are in her face and she wants to grab the bottle .She is just extremely busy , even when I was pregnant the doctor commented on it every time.No wonder I had so much pain in my ribs.

Nikki do you hold her when you feed her. If you hold her as you would when bfeeding it may help.

Kayla het vreeslik begin skop as sy haar bottel wou he, dan het ek haar gevoer voor sy begin huil het, so sy het altyd dan gedrink en dadelik weer geslaap.

Hier's 'n tip - ek weet nou nie hoe jy dit doen nie - maar kook elke oggend vars water en dan vul jy solank die bottels daarmee. Jy hoef nie die water eers te kook as jy die bottel maak nie(ek weet party mammas doen dit). Dan meet jy die melk af en sit dit in daai klein melk containers. Hou die bottels room temperature en dan sodra jy dink sy soek 'n bottel, dan kan jy dit net gou meng. Ek het as dit koud was die water eers bietjie in die microwave gesit en die bottel dan goed geskud voor ek die melk bygesit het - net om dit bietjie warmer te kry - maar hulle se jy moenie 'n microwave gebruik nie - ek het wel - met altwee my kinders - maar jy moet dit skud om van hot spots onslae toe raak en dit ook nou nie kook nie. As jy nie 'n microwave wil gebruik nie kan jy die bottel dan net bietjie warm maak in a bottle warmer (wat ek dink te lank vat) of dip in kook water.

Shame sterkte!

Ek gee haar eers n bottle wanneer sy huil , dis al hoe ek weet sy is honger.Sy't geen freaking routine nie maar miskien moet ek maar elke 3h n bottel reg he vir haar.Soms sit sy haar hande in haar mond dan gee ek ook vir haar n bottie maar soos ek se wanneer sy huil kry sy n bottel.Ai ai.
