Hey Lisa, Do you think its teeth for your 4 1/2 month old? I used to rub some of that baby anbesol on Katy's gums at night before whe went to bed. It really seemed to help her sleep. Although she didn't sleep through the night until she was 6 months old.
Its funny. If anyone had told me the details of raising children I probably wouldn't have had any. But they are so rewarding (most of the time). If you get a good night sleep you seem to be able to deal with it much better. I hope that your little one allows you to get some sleep =-) I guess we need to teach our little ones to learn the signs of hunger. I've started asking Katy how her tummy feels. Does it feel grumbly like its growling for something to eat? Good Luck! Hope you sleep better tonight =-) Sam -----Original Message----- From: Lisa Sansom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 9:22 AM To: canada Subject: [canada] Re: Katy-I don't know what to do!!! Just take a deep breath and remind yourself that Katy's behaviour is no reflection on you or your parenting. Katy, little though she is, is her own person. And how she behaves is up to her. My son at 2 1/2 can't tell when he's hungry either - I wonder when that ability kicks in? We have also just learned to recognize the signals - the grumpiness, etc. He doesn't even ask for food - we have to offer it and then he's OK to eat... Weird isn't it that recognizing hunger wouldn't be more innate... Of course, after my 4 1/2 month old was up FOUR times last night, I'm also thinking it's weird that we have to "teach" our babies to sleep. You'd think that something so crucial to growth and regular day to day functioning would be more natural... :-) Lisa >From: Samantha Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "canada" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "canada" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [canada] Re: Katy-I don't know what to do!!! >Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 15:54:57 -0700 > >Thanks Julia, > >Yes I agree we need to find a teenage babysitter so that dh and I can at >least go out together once in a while. > >I do really hope that we get control of this soon.
