6:30 AM BABY ALARM GOES OFF πŸ˜

MY BABY EXPERIENCE

I am used to disturbed sleep by now. Getting up every 2,3 or 4 hours to feed my little princess – it’s fine My body knows that nower days we are constantly tired 😊. What I’m also used to is being able to sleep untill 8am. For some reason 8am was always making me feel better about my lack of sleep, probably because I could think in my head oh it’s already 8, everyone are already at work and I am still in bed (not thinking about all of the night feeds I have done) .

Now Chloe decided to take that away from me as well as good night sleep !!!!!!!!!!! Now Chloe wants to get up at 6:30am and play!!! Play at 6:30am 😳😳😳 non of my arguments that it’s to early to play are working πŸ™‚ If I am lucky I manage to slee through her talking till 7am …. Good news ? It will all pass …. Soon? Hopefully 😁

Chloe is now 4 months old ????!!!!!

MY BABY EXPERIENCE

i can’t believe that it’s already 4 months ! 

I can defenitely say that it’s be the most wonderful 4 months I my life ! It’s the happies I have ever been, the most tired I have ever been, the most worried, confused and proud.  

Chloe is such a happy and curious baby. She is also a a genius baby – don’t we all say it πŸ˜€. She holds herself very well, she doesn’t want to lay as she can’t see everything. Nower days she is searching or standing all the time, and her head just goes left and right, left and right (just to clarify she isn’t standing on her own (yet)). She is now reacting to her name! She plays with her own mirror image. Everything she can get her hands on goes straight in to her mouth, and if she can’t do it she gets so frustrated (she screams her frustrated scream) this one od probably after her mummyπŸ˜„ She also started teething but luckily her symptoms are mild. 

 Chloe has laugh out loud for the first time which was amazing. To get her to do it again it’s a very hard work !!!! Almost impossible πŸ˜„ 

Oh and we are going thought 4 months sleep regression πŸ˜„

On one hand I am very exciting about all of those things she will start doing as she is growing up  on the other hand I just want her to stay little … And then I remember about feeding her every 2 hours 24hours a day(shall I say night?πŸ˜€)  7 days a week.

It’s incredible how much and how quickly they change…. It’s also incredible how much happiness they give ! 

MEETING NEW MUMS …. WORSE THAN DATINGΒ 

BABY ADVICE, MY BABY EXPERIENCE

With 4 months old daughter most of my day is filled with : nappy change, playing, picking Chloe up, rocking Chloe , holding Chloe or her toys so she can bite it, entertaining Chloe, tidying up, trying to clean, cooking, Internet sketching for answers to never ending questions and doing a lot of washing. I am doing all of that in an empty house whiles baby talking. Gosh at one point I actually worried that by a mistake I will start doing my baby talk to a grown up, or forget how to talk normally πŸ˜„ what I was really craving is a grown up company and being able to talk to someone about what I am experiencing, ideally someone who knows what I am taking about. Don’t get me wrong I love every minute I spend with Chloe but I wanted to be able just for an hour to go out for a coffee and talk to someone else than Chloe.

OPTION 1. MY FRIENDS 

 I would from time to time meet up with my friends but most of them are working full time  which means that I can’t see them when I need it most – weekday in the mornings or afternoons. Also most of my friends don’t have kids. You should see theirs faces when I started talking about explosive poos. But it’s great to see them over the weekend to talk and thing about other things than baby πŸ˜„

OPTION 2. MEET SOME MUMS

– NCT

 Best option in my opinion. Unfortunately I didn’t go to NCT course after being told by lots of people that it wasn’t good and didn’t teach them anything.they did however said that its a good way of meeting other mums. Based on those opinions I decided not to do it, what is the point of paying so much money just to meet mums??!! I regret not doing it now! If I knew how hart it was to meet other mums I would have done it. My advice is – do it!!!! 

BABY GROUPS 

 This one is very good as it benefits your baby and you get to know other mums. If you are shy like me it can be hard to move the “friendship” from the class to actual meet ups. 

Me and Chloe go to Baby Sensory Classes which are great! Chloe loves them and they are brilliant for her development! I meet quite a few Mums, and it’s something different to do once a week. As I mentioned I am very shy and also most of those mums knew each other already from the NCT Course so I haven’t make any friends to meet outside the class. 

We will start now the Baby Massage. Again great for babies but also another way to meet other mums. Ideally I would have started it a bit earlier but couldn’t get free space. 

We will also start going to a Play Group now that Chloe is a bit bigger and can actually play not just lay πŸ™‚ 

INTERNET 

 There is a lot of different websites and apps. I been on all of them and tried all of them as well… 

– Netmums, Mumsnet 

Two of the biggest websites for parents. They organise meet ups which you can attend. If there is one in your area that great and you should defenitely go. Unfortunately there was nothing where I live. I am shy but I would always do everything what I can to change something that I am not happy with, I took things in to my own hands. I contacted regional ambassador for Mumsnet and asked about meet ups where I live. Outcome ? I will be organising them now!!! Our first one will be in 3 weeks time … I hope someone will come πŸ˜ƒ

– Apps

There is a lot of apps but those in my opinion aren’t good enough yet. Location is a key when you want to meet other mums and that’s not very specific in most of them. I don’t thing that they are popular enough so the amount of mums on it isn’t amazing. 

But it’s worth a try, there are some of them:

– mummysocial.com

– mumamie.com

– mumsmeetup.com

– meet mums now (app)

– parents nearby (app) 

NEIGHBOURS 

This really worked for me:-). We have moved in to our first house. There were 8 new houses build and luckily all of them been bought by young couples and most of them with kids.  Because we were all new, all moved in pretty much on this same day, and we been seeing each other all the time it was really easy to start chatting. For shy person like me it was perfect!  

CAFFEES

 I go out every day for a walk with Chloe. If I don’t have any “date” with another mum or a friend, after walk I would go for a coffee on my own. It gets me out of the house and Chloe loves it, she is fascinated with people and lights (loves looking out of the window). If Chloe sleeps then I can read a magazine and enjoy my coffee- then it’s “me time” πŸ˜€. Very often there would be other mums doing exactly this same πŸ™‚ now you just need to have the currage to start the conversation πŸ˜‰.

This business is worst than dating  πŸ™‚ 

PARANOID ABOUT BABY SLEEPING ROUTINE πŸ˜³

BABY ADVICE, MY BABY EXPERIENCE

Paranoid about baby sleeping routine.
Paranoid is how you can describe what I became yesterday. Why Chloe only falls asleep to have a nap on my chest or with dummy? Why is Chloe crying in the evening before going to sleep? should I let her cry to sleep? is she too small to self soothe ???!!!!!! I was going crazy !!! I was reading lots of different articles on the internet, asking other mums about they experience, reding some more and then driving my husband mad with questions …..
Why do some people make you think that it’s not good if your 2,5 months old baby doesn’t fall asleep on their own and doesn’t sleep through the whole night??? I know that we all do things differently and would bring up our kids in a different ways and that’s fine. What isn’t fine is when you make other people feel bad about the way they choose to do things!! There is nothing wrong with letting your baby fall asleep on the breast, there is nothing wrong with cuddling your baby when they cry & there is notching wrong with using dummy if you choose to do so!!! We all want our babies to sleep well through the night and to fall asleep on their own, have a good sleep routine (whatever that is) but on the end of the day we are talking here about small babies!! There is so many specialist claiming to know best, so many different approaches and opinions on how to put your baby to sleep and about sleeping routines; it’s hard to know what is the best option. Because there is so many of them there obviously isn’t one good way of doing it and noone knows what is the best way !!! Just do what seems right for your baby and what you feel comfortable with!!!!! #baby #sleep #sleepingroutine #newborn #firsttimemum
