Lucky you! My baby is almost 3weeks and sleeps well in day time but as for night, it's a no no. It's not been easy at all thanks to my mother in-law that helps to carry her

Osaretin O Ebube · Answer

My baby does that too. She won't sleep during the day unless I back her and once her back touches the bed, she will open her eyes. She sleeps so well at night. Am used to the routine now, even hubby pities me cos its very tiring.

Mummy David · Answer

I once saw a Paed in my church n was complaining. She examined him. She admitted that he is more active than most babies his age but to her he is okay. She suggested I register him in a creche since he wears me out. U cn try that tho I wont. He will.so wear his creche handlers out ehn,they will sedate him. If dt happens everyday, I dunno wat could happen to his system. so av swallowed spit on d matter, sit at home with him & work frm home. Epele my sister. God is our strength.

Mummy David · Answer

@Triciakeys, he will.adjust when he starts taking solids. at over 5 months, maybe the breastmilk.is not filling him up so manage till.6months,start introducing food. when his tommy is filled up+plenty of playing, u will rest a bit.

Tricia Arthur · Answer

@Osezele, lol! I for say oo. So so long as baby is healthy,no problem! We do daytime vigil

Mummy David · Answer

@Triciakeys,loool.I can imagine. Me thinks the boy is fine sha. Are u still on ebf?

Mummy David · Answer

@Triciakeys, hian, I didn't o. we are managing ourselves. I guess its d price I hv to pay. Those sedatives hv side effects na. If not now,later... I guess... dunno..

Tricia Arthur · Answer

@Adedunmola, it is well o. I hope its not affecting their development sha. Cos I hear babies need sleep

Tricia Arthur · Answer

@Osezele, so did u buy the cyprigold for him??

Tricia Arthur · Answer

Hmmm! I just backed him and removed him to use the toilet. He is wide awake. And he slept almost immediately o meaning he's feeling sleepy. I'll try to contact the pediatrician. Thanks so much mummies. It is well

Mummy David · Answer

@Omolbaby13593, dts true too o. What works fr one may not work fr the other. Maybe she shd see a,Paed then.

Mummy David · Answer

@Adedunmola, way to go mummy #thumbUp#

Mummy David · Answer

@Omolbaby13593, loool. My son is superactive! People always ask me how I manage. when he stsrted crawling, I just freed him. I ni fit kee myself. People hv suggsted to me to gv him cyprigold abi wats d name again. once he's awake he will play until he sleeps again. Am not exaggerating. What I do is,allow him play fr as long as he wants. Once I notice he's drowsy, I quickky feed him n load him with water so he goes to sleep with a tired body n loaded stomach. 3hours,d body still dey sleep.
