My son is 19 months old and slept very well as a young baby. He was in his own room at 5 months and slept through the night alone until he was about 9 months and I don't know what went wrong but he will no longer sleep alone and has slept with my and hubby since. This wasn't a such a big deal for me until I had another baby who is now 5 weeks old and suffering with colic mostly at night times. Now neither children are sleeping well as baby has a crib in our room and thebaby constantly wakes my toddler up and then there's trouble lol. This has resulted in me and baby sleeping downstairs, me on sofa and baby in pram or with me. I miss my bed and most of all my husband, it's hard enough to try and "sneak a moment" together with 2 babies as it is without being in different rooms just to get some sleep. My toddler does sleep soundly with us most nights now, falling asleep in his favourite nap spot n the sofa and being carried to bed with us.
I have tried to get my toddler in his own room... We have re furnished in Thomas the tank engine bought him a big boy bed also Thomas but he just screams. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance xxx
i have a 6 month old daughter who will cry and cry and cry unless she is being held. as soon as i pick her up, she stops out of no where. she isnt hungry or soiled herself, we keep her diaper clean and feed her as soon as shes hungry. we hold her often (shes a baby of course) but not non stop. it seems every time as soon as we set her down, she starts to SCREAM! how do i get her to stop this? i have a 3 year old who when she was a baby had a bad colic where she would scream no matter what for no reason, even if being held. this is a different story. any advice or tips are greatly appreciated. thanks!
we have a baby swing, tons of toys, a mat where she kicks her feet and presses buttons that sing and light up for her with hanging toys, she doesnt like any of them, she just wants to be held!
I have eliminated dairy, spicy foods, high fiber foods, garlic, onions, tomatoes, chocolate and other foods for over a month now. I'm pretty much only drinking water and eating plain eggs or rice krispies cereal (with soy milk) for breakfast and plain chicken with rice for lunch and dinner for 3 weeks.
My son is still horribly gassy and fussy and vomits a majority of his feeding after nursing nearly every time. His pediatrician isn't too concerned yet but he says if he has dropped any more weight percentile, i may have to look into straight formula feeding.
Right now my son gets about 2-3 bottles of formula a day and seems to keep it down fine with little or no spit up. I thought breastmilk was easier to digest and that breast fed babies had less spit up and colic but this doesn't seem to be the case with my baby, as he is also colicky.
he has a great latch and nurses well....
Any thoughts on this?
