I am a toy gearhead. I am a mom. Therefore, I am Gearhead Mom. I review the good, the bad and the (often) ugly in the world of baby and childhood gear.

Is My Baby a Seal?

Posted by Missy W. @ 10:35 PM

Oh I’ve been in the weeds of late. I think I’d be a much better parent/person/member of the planet if I got some sleep. I don’t think I’ve slept through the night in four years. Lately Baby G has been practicing rolling/creeping in between each sleep transition at night. He stirs in his sleep, decides it’s a GREAT idea to roll over, then lays there on his stomach propped up like a frightened seal, bawling his little head off. If I roll him back over he just sobs as he does it again. Then he screams til we pick him up. Repeat. Alllll night long. So tired. I’m so sleeping on the futon on the floor with him tonight. Something’s gotta give and in this case, it’s mama that has to give or she’s going to crack. Crack I say!

I won’t even get into how he won’t eat anything unless it’s a Cheerio, which he promptly gags on and spits up.

Babies are nuts. Good thing they’re cute.

I have the same exact problem with my nine month old daughter - she does the seal thing (which sucks also since we cosleep (another issue) with her and she wacks us all night long.  She also won’t eat anything unless its a puff…

Have you made andy progress on either front and if so, care to share?

Tracy, my little one is a huge fan of the Happy Bellies organic puffs. In fact, it’s the only food he would eat for about three weeks straight. It helped him learn that food was not the enemy though, so I was thrilled. My pediatrician had suggested OT for his gag reflex, but it is subsiding so I am going to skip that hurdle. Oh bother, I’ll just post on it. Otherwise this comment will be two pages long. smile
