Should probably do it a little tighter.You can buy blankets that' are shaped to spend themselves to it. Swaddle pods if memory serves, or something similar. Look into them. I couldnt do it worth a f**k with a blanket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things - https://www.target.com/p/miracle-blanket-swaddle-wrap-lattice-coral/-/A-79482964 They're halfway between a sleeping bag and a straitjacket. We had one and it worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Saints Fan Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 They don't write the sex down at Raigmore hospital. Even in these corona circumstances. They need to show you why they came to the conclusion that baby is a boy/girl and can't do that if they are writing it down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not that bothered about finding out but the gf wants to. Didn’t find out last time and it was more exciting on the day not knowing what to expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didnt want to find out without me so they updated her online notes and she waited til she got home to read them.Think she has an app where all her scans and checkups get updated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s still something a little bit insincere about opening up an app or a website and scrolling to the gender reveal part. The opening of an envelope is far more exciting IMO. I’ve told my Mrs she can find out and just not tell me, I can’t see that working out either though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingo ohne Flamingo Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Really pulling my hair out with this, not sure how many are in the same boat? Daughter is 2 next month and since the start of the year I can seriously count on one hand how many times she has slept past midnight. Its just turned half 10 and she's up screaming already . Before we used to be bad at just bringing her into bed and unfortunately I think this is coming to bite us. In her near 2 years she's only slept a full night a couple of times Any pointers would be much appreciated!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldest sleeps like an absolute dream and gets upset if she can't have a lie in (is she actually 3 or 15!). Youngest wakes up anywhere between 5am and 6.30am every morning. Will not go back to sleep once awake. Why so opposite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 On 06/05/2020 at 20:56, Ross. said: 1 month in. Mostly going well. Only real issue is that he won’t sleep unless one of us is holding him. Bed time is a fucking killer now as a result. Generally I will take him from around 8pm until midnight so that Jennifer can get a kip, then she will take him until he is fed at around 4am, then whichever of us feels least worst takes the next few hours. Works while I am able to work from home but when they recall us to the office I doubt I will manage. Anyone had this before? Yes, I had this, well I suppose still do. Kaitlyn is two months on Wed. She's just had her jags and that seems to have upset the rhythm we had goin. First 4 weeks or so I was up til 2/3am and then the Missus would take over as she is breast feeding. We had it sorted that she would sleep from 10pm or before in her crib getting up once maybe twice for a feed. bit that's a bit off just now. She's a bit restless then eventually goes down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he is due is his first round of jags in a week or so. At least we have no rhythm to break. Noticing that his sleeping pattern seems to alternate day to day. One day he spends most of it asleep, only waking up for a feed every 3 hours or so, the following day he is a tad unsettled and sleeps a lot less. I assume this is normal behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He eats his breakfast and lunch fine but dinner is just half an hour of him wailing and thrashing and pushing away food and spitting it down his front till we've finally got him sort of fed. Been like this for about a week. The only thing I could get to work was reading him a book he really likes and shovelling it while he was distracted.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
