We have been trialing a new thing with H's sleep and eating. For the last week he has been having his day nap at 12-12.30pm he sleeps anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 hrs This is good. He does this at daycare. We are not feeding him after 3pm, he has a fairly good arvo tea. This week he has been eating his dinner Yay!!!!!!
Tonight however he refused his dinner ate a small amount. Most on the floor then he started crying and crying. I got him out of the high chair and couldn't stop him crying. He was uncontrollable. I said he is probablly teething. My partner just looked at me and we both laughed, we have been saying that for the last 6mths.
My partner said just leave him. I tried to read him stories and avert his attention. I put him on the floor and then he spewed.
My partner thought he might have something stuck in his throat. I suggested he was tired. We had words etc..... I thought something has got to be wrong. I was getting worried. I suggested he might be in pain lets give panadol. That suggestion went out the window.
We quickly bathed him and gave him his bottle, only had a small bit. He was shagged, just out for the count just about poor bugger.
So my question is, is what we are doing the wrong thing, are we making him so tired that it is all just catching up on him? AM I A BAD PARENT for doing this?
during the week he is never dog tired when getting reading for bed at 7pm. He is however really tired by the time I put him down at 12.15 after lunch. But then he sleeps for a long time.
Hmmm I do wonder if he is coming down with something.
Now I have to do a rollover feed at about 10ish 'cause otherwise he will be awake early. I am preparing myself for a bad night.
Hope everyone has a better night than me.
Love youse all!  |
