Unsettled

Comment Published at 10:5710:574 comments4 comments21 Visits21 VisitsReport

Well, am trying a different gripewater as Joshy has been quiet unsettled from around 8 till about 12 :s

It gets a little exhausting for me, and I am sure for him. He resting now, I hope he sleeps a good sleep even if it's only 3 hours.  Yesterday he was sleeping so much better with two five hour stints. Maybe next time I give him a bath if I am not too sleepy. Must sleep now whilst I have the chance, as am taking Codes to Kindy Drama and its the first day tomorrow.

Oh, it can be very tiring!  When you give Joshua a bath, make it a little earlier than just before bed and then spend some time after wards with him on a flat surface gently pulling his knees upto his chin.  The heat from the bath makes the gas in his gut flow easier, and the gentle exercise helps to get rid of it.  We did this with all ours and they were much more settled.

Hope you manage to get some sleep soon.

Hey Rachel,

I hear you -it is exhausting!!! I tried LOTS of different "gripewaters" but the best I found was Brauers Colic Relief. It is all natural, very gentle and worked!!! Also, after I used it, I would lay bub over my forearm, head in the crook of my elbow, belly on the palm of my hand and rub bub's back and or pat. her back. Seemed to help tummy settle and /or work the wind out! Good luck, hope your cherubs tum settles soon!
