inspired by ash's post
i am already so frustrated with nursing lily.. in the last 5 days she has spent 3 nights awake from about 2-5... last night from 12-5 just wanting to nurse but not to sleep... the prob is she is going through a phase where she refuses to nurse unless i was in bed with her and that would keep seth up. (hes a light sleeper and she can't hold still or stop "talking" for anything and if he moves she wants to play with him) she also takes about an hr to get her down breastfeeding now and then half the time she wakes up within an hour. we started her on daily solids and it seems her appetite has picked up instead of slowing down. anyway grr... its frustrating. i've considered weaning her but i'd be lost without breastfeeding because that is the only way she will fall asleep. anyway this started out as a comment on ashley's wall and turned really long so here it is now as a blog. question.. ash how do you get blaise to sleep without nursing? you said before that roy puts him down to start the night... how? and to everyone else... lily refuses to leave my arms... and i'm afraid that if it doesnt end soon her development will slow down because she won't try to crawl anymore... she used to but not anymore. any suggestions (this of course all started because of the move and being on the road and then having our apt covered in boxes) anyway random blog..

I would just work on gradually getting her interested in other things again, recognizing that 5 minutes is a victory today, maybe 6tomorrow. And don't fret that it'll hinder her development. I rarely do tummy time or the exercises ECI tells me to do with Amelia, and yet they come back and assume I have because she's progressed! I think it is natural for babies to be held. Elizabeth looked like she was right on the verge of crawling for at least a month before she finally did. I know it's a pain (part of the reason I'm in Blythe right now is to get a break) but she will change SO much in the next few months and I'll bet she'll be much more independent. That's what I'm counting on with Amelia, anyway.
Hey Lindsey, I need your address ASAP. Are things going any better with miss lily?
What helped getting Nolan asleep is a transitional object... therefore he has bear who always sleeps with him. He would be comforted by him as well as mommy and it was easier to have bear in bed with him.
