Sleeping Issues

Things were better, but now they have regressed again. I only manage to get Ryan to sleep in his crib about every 3 days. He either sleeps in his car seat, the swing, or if I hold him. Ugh. I have tried every tip given to me, with no luck. I did get his constipation issue worked out (sorry for the pun). I followed the instructions in the binder from the pedatrician (who says baby's don't come with users manuals?) and gave him several ounces of water. It worked.

Thanksgiving was ok. I spent all day cooking and cleaning up for Todd to eat less than one plate of food. He did eat a lot of cake though, and I made turkey and noodles at 11 pm, which he gobbled up. I guess if I wanted him to eat I should have served the meal at 4 am since he is on bar time. I did enjoy cooking though.

My mom is coming tomorrow. I am excited. It will be nice to have someone to talk to.

Marnie- Sorry about the sleeping problems with Ryan. Did you try having some white noise in his room? Either a radio set low on music or even static, or a fan or humidifier? Babies are so used to hearing the sound of your womb that often it is too quiet for them to sleep. Just an idea that might help...

Hi Marnie~ Hang in there. You are a great mom, and eventually Ryan will get things figured out! Enjoy your mom's company!
