This is what my sister Jennifer is experiencing since Alayna was born. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I want to sleep I am so tired But all I hear in my head is Cry... Cry... Cry... I try to sleep For 20 to 30 minutes Here and there But all my baby does is Cry... Cry... Cry... I even try to sleep After my baby has had Her feeding And 40 minutes to a Hour and a half later All I hear is Cry... Cry... Cry... I can't sleep But a hour to a Hour and a half at night Because my baby only Knows how to Cry... Cry... Cry... Sleep deprivation Is what I have And it isn't gonna end Anytime soon Cold hands means a warm heart |

It's sure tough when the babies are still so little...I hope your sister can get some rest soon!  ~Elizabeth Dreams last for so long, even after you're gone... |

LOL, you've got that right, it doesn't end, EVER! Make sure she gets some rest though, as post partem depression can soon set in, and it's quite a serious problem with some new mommies. Hugs, and I'm sure you will be a very big help to her. |

My parents know that feeling.  We'll also know it one day.What is life without poetry and adventure? |

This is when you have teams that tackle the problem. Babies can be very demanding when they are so young and tiny. And so hard to know why.... My heart is with you, your sister right now.. |

It can sometimes become a vicious circle of baby crying, mommy getting uptight, baby sensing mommy getting upset, then baby crying even more...and so on and so on... (Does Alayna have colic?--distended, painful tummy.) Soothing music usually helps to calm both mother and baby. Peace & Love, Linda |

Oh yes......those joys of parenthood....and particularly mom's if they're doing the natural thing and there's no bottle for dad to warm so that he can take a turn.... I used to get up for 'em anyway, but wished I could just do it and let her sleep..... Sometimes did warm the bottle anyway, but not in a way that Junior would notice..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
