mickeymuscles I have yet to encounter this issue as we haven't seen that many people since sleep training and have yet to go out anywhere for an extended period of time. I'm a bit nervous truthfully. Of course, both my mom and MIL will pretty much follow what I say. My father is quite frail so their visits don't last very long...so it worked out fine yesterday because my father napped when Cole did :wink:
maybe you could be the bigger person and call to apologize to you MIL? Then just explain how Jack does best on his routine and that you were just frustrated that he wasn't going down for his sleep? I don't know, I just find sometimes it's easier that way than to let it fester. Of course, maybe your MIL didn't think anything of it? I was such a cow to my MIL while she was here helping me after Cole was born. She was great though and didn't say a word. I wrote her a nice note after and she thanked me for writing it. It felt good just to apologize even though I knew she understood that I was exhausted and in pain.
Olivia's mommy Wow, you're even using the nighttime diapers! Maybe double up on those? Is there another brand of nighttime ones you could try? I don't even know if we can get nighttime diapers in Canada. I haven't seen any as far as I know.
My poor little guy. I left him on the floor of the hall (often do) so that I could put something away and he got too close to the oak banister. he toppled into it and his precious little noggin hit it. It's square at the bottom and it left an indent in his skin :oops: . Thank goodness it didn't cut him. No more leaving him on the floor...into his crib he goes if I have stuff to do. I had a box in the hall forever which I guess was protecting him from getting too close. That's what I get for tidying up! I'll actually have to make some kind of bumper protector for all the banisters in the house because they are all quite sharp. Oh no...he just had a really hard time settling for catnap. All was quiet then i heard a bang. he must have hit his head again :oops: and then he just would not settle. I gave him a bit of tylenol just in case and held him for a bit. I could see the red welt on his head even in the semi-darkness :cry: He seemed okay after holding a bit so I think he was just a touch overtired. back into the crib and 10 min of pat/shush later he's out.
I don't know what I'll do when he starts running around with the potential to hurt himself.
boy, i am monopolizing this thread aren't i? I must be the only one with 3-4 postings a day! I don't have much of a life if you haven't figured it out yet. And like I said above, I'm a bit nervous about taking him out and missing naps but I guess I need to get over that.
okay, i won't bore you guys with the minutae of my life anymore...at least for today
