whitewriterWe're well out of the newborn phase now.
As a newborn Izzy was a strange baby. She liked laying flat and being left alone in her bed. She did not require to be held or sung to or whatever.
Like she cried, but rarely and like, more upon waking to be fed, but then not long after she probably stay awake for a little while, all in all probably not more than an hour, and then sleep for 4 hours.
Now we're getting to the witching hour age.
Where as with Wendy I felt like we always had a witching hour until maybe 8mo. ish-
Izzy now seems to want comfort. She wants a song, -- the other day I sang Di sini senang, Di Sanna senang (i'm happy here, i'm happy there - or rather, I'm happy everywhere which is the next line: di mana mana haticu sennang.)
When I sang, she stopped crying and opened her eyes really wide and just stared at me like I was a mega star singer or something. So then we had to go from super awake to alseep.
Which I just laid her down next to me, and everything was dark and literally i waited until she fell asleep. lolz. Bit of patting or something. 10 mins approx.
It's the longest 10 min ever though as you have no idea when it will end and you can't use ur phone or something because that's light.
Or tonight she wanted, very firm rythmic patting on the bottom.
The problem with constant boobing is that she gets full to a point and then literally will just violently throw up a little - posit sized, compared to Wendy, its a real posit, and then cry hard all over again and that means I gotta use something else other than the boob.
Although she almost certainly loves it.
and for the most part it solves it.
This went on until about 10pm, she was asleep in her cot by 1030 one night and slept SOLIDLY TIL 4AM (yay) one night.
Then the next night there was a 2am and a 4am (approx)
And tonight I don't know.
I'm tired to be sure.
I've made some inroads into setting up her big baby cot, but I've taken plans a step back from putting her in Wendy's room and starting it up as "the girls' room" because if Izzy is going to be that disruptive overnight with multiple wakeups, there's no point making Wendy suffer.
Or myself really, dealing with 2 crying children...
