i just don't no what to do

[sarahb1983]

can't help but feel confused, is she undertired or overtired? She is just so hard to read she can be happy, smiling and playful and then all of a sudden hysterical, if she was stimulated she wouldn't sleep at all.  She was up 40 minutes last night, left her 20 minutes to settle on her own, wasn't upset then took full feed and straight bk 2 sleep.  She was asleep for 7.35 and didn't wake till 08.30 so she's caught up that sleep she's missed hasn't she? same as night before she should have been up 06.45 for 12 hrs sleep but i left her till 08.30 to catch up. I think she can mostly manage 2.5 hrs now thats with me putting her down happy and her going to sleep on her own.  sometimes though it's the same time but if we've been out for a walk it's harder, maybe too many bright colours but i like to get her out the house.  most she does is rub her eyes and ears and thats as i put her down, it's so hard to get balance.  Also in our weaning booklet, banana babyrice and bm, brocholi and cauliflour, and apple and pear are the 1st three recepe's it suggests trying! thank for the info tho

LOL!  Weaning books tend to base ideas on nutritional value - not important at all in the beginning as this is all just for fun   You want milk (formula or breast) to be her main source of nutrition until a year old.

As well, you don't want to introduce multiple things at once, it makes it difficult to spot a sensitivity.  I would stick to single ingredient things until 7/8months... once you have a good variety of things introduced, mix them up

Could you post yesterday's EASY?  Include all NW (and how long she was awake and what you did to get her back to sleep), feed times (how much and what she ate), activity time (and what she did during it).
