mummies are supposed to know what is wrong with their baby… I don’t!! Kirsty has done nothing but whinge and moan for about a week now. The last few days have been so bad. I don’t know what is wrong with her! She still has a slight cold and struggles to breathe thru her nose.

Surely that wouldn’t make her so gurney?? I’ve wondered about teething. but calpol brekkie, lunch & bedtime does nothing.

She’s clingy. And now we struggle getting her to bed as per my post yesterday or day before. I don’t know what to do. Maybe I should have booked her in with a doctor today? urgh!!

Kirsty has scoffed all 3 meals today which is a HUGE improvement on the past 3-4weeks where she has been having a few spoonfuls here and there.

I just felt in her mouth last night and felt nothing at all, her teeth had disappeared back under the gum again, but felt again after she ate her tea just now and they are deffo popping through!!

I wonder if them popping up has helped her appetite? Could be coincidence but I wondered?!

This is all I have heard yesterday & today! Kirsty is a right little chatterbox, bless her soul!! Yesterday morning she realised she can now say “bah bah bah” over & over again, it’s such a sweet sound!

She also started waving her hand when I say “hiiiiii”,  in her own little fashion, it’s a very royal type, delicate wave!

However we are struggling with a little “mummy clingyness”, and it’s getting worse. She used to be a bit funny with new people or people she hadn’t seen in a while. Now she seems to get distressed when I leave the room (leaving her behind), even if daddy is beside her or holding her. Yesterday, she cried so much when daddy took her from me for cuddles. I feel sorry for hubby He is beginning to think Kirsty doesn’t love him anymore. I’m not too sure how I can ease this and help her through it. I do wonder if she is teething and this might be contributing to the separation anxiety issue. She has been cheweing anything & everything the past few days – not unusual for her, really – but even her fingers which isn’t typical for her.

Poor baby. It’s so difficult when they can’t talk.

A big breakthrough though: Kirsty had a lunchtime sleep in her cot both yesterday & today!! 

She usually fights going down in her cot through the day, but she has had decent sleeps! Today’s was TWO hours!!! Both sleeps were at 1pm so I hope to try and put her to her cot at 1pm each day (providing we are at home), and see if I can encourage this to be her “big sleep” time.
