Hunter had a very good day today ~ almost too good! He slept pretty much the whole day, waking only for feeds so when we got to about 9pm at night, he cracked it big time and nothing would placate him. He was screaming and didn't want to be held this way, didn't want to be cuddled that way, didn't want to be in his rocker, didn't want to be on his playmat, didn't want to be put over your shoulder, didn't want to be cradled. He just screamed...and he was getting himself so upset. So Rob thought it might be a good time to test the car seat theory. So at 10:30pm after a long time of hysterical screaming and sobbing, we strapped him into the car seat and took a drive out around the backstreets of Little River. He was probably asleep before we got out of our street... it was hard to tell, but he didn't make a peep the whole time we were in the car. We got back home about 11pm and the only bad thing is that it's really hard to get him out of the seat without waking him. I got him into his bassinette but of course he was awake 5-10 mins later and getting upset again, so into the shower with Rob he went - Calm Down tactic #2. That worked, and he had his massage, hung on until about 11:50 for a feed (I fed him 10 mins early as he was getting upset again and I didn't want to give him 10 minutes to get hysterical before feeding him, as he'd probably just vomit it all up again). After his feed he was good as gold.. in bed by 12:45 and slept til 4:45.
Piccies are from an earlier in the day time on his playmat... when he was quite content to be there.
