Please god someone tell me they grow out of this!?! Lex spends most of her time grunting, snuffling and farting like a trooper. In the day? Quite hilarious. At night? Not so much. She wakes my husband and myself up and now even wakes herself up (and is really p*?&ed off when she wakes up, it's not MY fault! Jeez!)

she is also loud enough/our Walls thin enough that she wakes up her poor brother.


Yawn.

It's times like this I wish we had a 3bdr house instead of just 2! I'd move her in with Seb but that's cruel and unusual punishment for him, I reckon.


She does sound like a farmyard! Ha! She's a bit "piggy" anyway- my sister said she looked like a raw Walls pork sausage- all pink and fat. Poor baby, we love her really...

I have used it a few times, including last night (also elevated her cot to an angle a bit). She was okay till 5am until the epic "I need to burp/fart RIGHT NOW" noises started. No amount of burping her or cycling her legs about to encourage this helped. My husband says she has heart shaped nostrils, very cute, would explain a lot too...
Ha yes baby f sounded like a farmyard too... Even an elephant at moments! We had to move him out of our room for our own sanity but if you don't have another room... Perhaps ear plugs? Pillow on the head(yours(!)) is quite a good sound muffler too... Nothing worse than being awake at night because they are so loud!!

Yes, the 5am agricultural noises do pass eventually. We used to do a GTU = a Grunty Top-up feed at 5am to help the yaklet poo. It took his mind off trying to get the poo out & was certainly better than listening to the otherwise endless dawn chorus. He grew out of it after a few weeks.


Could you pop her on the landing outside your room, to shield you from hearing every single grunt & groan? Or would she be more likely to disturb Seb there?

I'm thinking ear plugs, I used to wear them when Seb went through his own noisy phase- could hear him crying but no other noises which worked perfectly. Husband says he can still hear everything through ear plugs- I say too bad, he's not breastfeeding round the clock.

    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps

    • Ahh shame about the cost of replacing the battery - especially (and I am assuming here) as the car probably isn't worth that much.  I do, however, think your decision is better than scrapping the car.  I will still update the results of our "experiment" in case this is of interest to others.  I absolutely refuse to scrap an otherwise perfectly good vehicle (especially as ours is ULEZ compliant - despite its age).  Nor am I enamoured with the idea of driving more just to keep the battery going.  If this little £35 gadget does the business then I shall be very happy.  We shall see......... Enjoy all those extra journeys, though if our gadget works then you might benefit from purchasing one and trickle-charging from time to time to save you having to make them.
