Major nap and sleep issues in 11 week old baby
(57 Posts)My DD has never been a great sleeper but seems to be deteriorating as the weeks go on, basically I'm knackered and looking for some advice.
Currently bedtime is 7/7.30ish after a bath/top and tail, feed in dark room, wind then rocking to settle. She sleeps until 10.30ish then wakes for feed. After this feed she then wakes every hour to hour and a half throughout the night until she starts her day anytime between 6 and 7. Sometimes she is hungry, sometimes not, sometimes she has trapped wind, but seems to also be waking repeatedly for no apparent reason and takes a long while to go back to sleep after rocking/shushing/patting etc...
We were cosleeping from midnightish onwards but this now doesn't seem to be helping and she has also developed an all night snacking habit from having constant access to the breast, which I don't want to cultivate.
Any ideas on what I can do to help her sleep better? Would it help to implement some sort of feeding schedule through the night, say, every 3 hours after her 10.30 feed so she gets used to waking less frequently for food?
Other things that might be relevant:
- she's in a grobag in a bedside cot
- not that keen on a dummy, sometimes use to settle her but she inevitably spits it out/thinks it's a game!
- she is on Infacol, although with the all-night snacking my consistency in administering has been poor overnight
- daytime naps are also an enormous struggle to get her down and frequently won't stay down longer than 30 minutes. Previous solution was to pop her in the buggy for a walk but this doesn't work anymore, she's far too interested in her surroundings. I try to get her to have at least 2 naps a day, 3 if they've been short ones.
- always has been what's described as hyper-alert...
- had v traumatic birth with forceps (we are seeing a cranial osteopath, second session tomorrow)
- was under phototherapy lights for first week of life for jaundice
- she's exclusively breastfed on demand and feeds every 3 to 3 1/2 hours during the day.
I'm trying to work on the principle that little babies need to sleep every two hours, but this doesn't seem to apply to my daughter! She doesn't give off very obvious sleepy signs and gets very cross indeed if I try to put her down before she's anything other than exhausted (read - overtired).
All ideas gratefully received, or even just shared experiences of babies at this age - it's good to know you're not alone!!
'I'm trying to work on the principle that little babies need to sleep every two hours, but this doesn't seem to apply to my daughter!'
Then why are you doing it?
I think it's lack of confidence Starlight. I'm so worried about letting DD get overtired that I'm trying to heed the advice of all the books I've read that say they can only really manage 2 hours awake before needing a nap.
Plus, if I let her, I'm sure she'd go all day without napping and be in a furious temper by the end of the day. When I do manage to get her to nap, she's far more even tempered.
I'm really looking for advice on the frequent night wakings, to make sure I'm not creating the situation IYSWIM or is this just something developmental that we need to ride through?
My DD didn't nap when she was 11 weeks old apart from the occasional catnap on my chest or in buggy. She did however sleep well at night, maybe you could try going with the flow for 24 hours and try and find her natural rhythm?
lol catlady. dd1 didn't sleep at all during the day until she was 6 months old. ds1 fed two hourly 24/7 and slept in between. dd2, well, best not talk about it.
i think you just need to roll with it tbh - try not to get too stressed over what you think she ought to be doing, and do what feels natural for both of you. take a break from reading baby manuals - she hasn't read any of them and will do her own thing no matter how much you read lol.
This sounds very typical for little babies and exactly like my son. Won't nap, takes ages to go to sleep and then sleeps for very short time. Sometimes feeds every hour through the day and night. It is impossible to impose a pattern on them much before 9 months, I think. The most important thing is to manage yourself and your sleep/sanity. Can you express for your partner to help out with the night feeds? Does your baby really need to go to bed at 7.30? Putting her to sleep sounds like it takes a lot of work from you and not much fun and might affect her lack of sleep later if she is getting the bulk of her night-time sleeping early.
Little babies need to sleep as much as they do sleep - unfortunately sometimes that isn't very much. My son is now 20 weeks and can move around much more and this tires him out to take longer, more frequent naps during the day and sleeping longer through the night. Get as much rest as YOU can and try to work around them. Sorry this probably isn't the answer you are looking for.
Thanks madwoman and Ewe. It's hard isn't it, when all the conventional advice says 'sleep begets sleep' so I'm trying hard to get her to nap during the day in the hope it might resolve the night wakings... but doesn't seem to be.
Interesting Ewe that your DD slept well at night despite not really napping.
Madwoman, did your DD1 sleep well at night despite the lack of daytime sleep?
Belle, DD seems to go down quite easily at 7.30 (the only time she does!), only takes 15-20 minutes for her to be completely asleep in her cot after her feed, then she gets good quality sleep until her next feed, so I'm reluctant to push the bedtime any later.
Might express tonight though so DH can at least do the 10.30pm feed and resettle.
Good to know there's hope for her starting to take longer naps as she gets older though. If it's just her age/developmental stage I can cope with that and fit around her needs - it's really the thought that if there's something I could be doing to help her that I'm NOT doing then I'd want to sort that out.
I know it's grim, but TBH it sounds fairly normal for that age - she's still very very tiny. I think that sleepless nights are harder to cope with as you go on because the exhaustion accumulates so much. But it will get better - they do all sleep in the end.
Have never tried cranial osteopathy but have heard lots of good reports, so fingers crossed that helps.
One thing that occurs to me that you could do differently is maybe try feeding a bit more often during the day, so that you're working towards your DD getting more of what she needs in daytime. Also you could express a bottle of milk for someone else to give whilst you sleep.
I know you say you don't like dummies, but they can be a godsend. I used to put my LO to sleep with one in his mouth and one in each hand.
OK but make sure you use the 3 hours to sleep/relax yourself (or get some milk in a bottle so you can sleep later.) If she won't nap during the day just stick her in a chair / crib with some (but not too many) toys / entertainment and she might go to sleep or she might not but you shouldn't be giving yourself more work trying to get her to do something she doesn't need or want.
I've never heard that 'sleep begets sleep' - sounds like MiL advice and we know what to do with THAT.
I think there's hope! DS was a rubbish napper until he was about 7 months old but always slept well at night. It gradually got better and better.
Now at 18months, he does 12 hours at night and has an afternoon nap of 2-3 hours when at home (1-2 hours at nursery)
Not much advice to give other than try not to stress too much. I spent hours and hours trying to get him to go to sleep, when really we probably would have both been happier if I'd stuck him in the buggy and gone to the coffee shop!
Crazycatlady Have you considered that it is these books that are responsible for your lack of confidence. I expect you're a fab mother but the attention and thought you are giving these books can be better spent learning to read your baby.
Don't throw them away though, they are good for putting under the head end legs of the cot when your lo has a cold.
I think you need to go back to basics really. Do you think your lo got overtired in the womb and got a furious temper?
Unless you are a VERY routine or naturally controlling person you and your baby will benefit from going with the flow. It is easier in this 'survival period' to try to adapt your life to fit your baby rather than the other way around.
The three solid hours that she sleeps would be a sensible time for you to sleep. Either go to bed yourself at 7pm or move her first sleep to when you want to go to bed.
Don't TRY to make her sleep in the daytime, but you can reduce her stimulation (i.e leave her on a play mat whilst you get on with something. If she gets fractious attend to her, but if she remains calm leave her be and she may drop of, - or perhaps she'll just rest. Do this when it she is calm, not because it is 2 hours since she last woke iyswim.
Above all please enjoy your baby and not get all in a confuddled stressful mess trying to stamp out what some fiction writer has told you is 'bad behaviour'
You don't need to 'teach' your baby about day and night, they will learn by observing the world around them (unless your usual behavour at 3am is to turn the music up really load and invite the neighbours in for a boogie).
catlady - not initially, but later on. we moved her to her own room quite early though (yes, i know, now against current sids advice) as quite often we felt it was ua causing her to stir. when we put her in her room in the big cot, it made a real difference to her sleep.
i remember dh coming home for lunch one day when she was about 4 months old, and we spent the whole time peering at her worried there was something wrong, as it was the first time ever she had slept during the day. (she's 9 now lol, and i still remember it!)
honestly, leave the books and trust your instincts (not advocating putting her in another room lol,) have confidence in yourself, not some baby guru who has never met your child.
and absolutely starlight, much easier to go with the flow than both of you getting fraught. and i say this as the biggest control freak you are ever likely to meet ... just not with small babies lol. enormous waste of energy.
Lol Starlight at the thought of her in a furious temper in the womb! Although sometimes it DID feel like that when she was kicking like crazy.
Confuddled stressful mess is precisely how I feel today, after thinking I was such a chilled out mum... right, books are going in the spider filled cellar where I won't be tempted to reach for them - for at least the next fortnight to see how we go.
I do tend towards control freakery every now and again, so will try to chill a bit. She's just had 'second lunch' so will pop her in the buggy for a walk I think.
Thanks for all your kind words and advice. I knew I'd find a bit of sensibility on here!
just re-read your plan to get dh to do the next 'night' feed lol. the first time my dh agreed to do that was the first time dd1 slept through if only i'd known sooner... funny what memories mn drags up!
Crazycatlady - I've just come on here following advice from my friend who I contacted to say 'Help' my baby won't sleep!! Saw your post and you could be describing my little boy, who is 17 weeks old now.
- Never been a great sleeper.
- Deteriorating as the weeks go on.
- Bedtime of 7/7.30 after bath, feed, song. - Sleeps in own room.
- Won't take a dummy.
- Manages until 10/10.30 then feeds and straight back to sleep.
- After this feed wakes every couple of hours through the rest of the night until wants to get up at about 5am.
- Daytime naps always a struggle. He mostly screams if I put him in his moses basket so have to get him off to sleep in my arms and then put him down. Often wakes after 30/40 minutes.
- Car journey or walk in buggy no longer send him to sleep.
- He is a very very alert little fella and it's like he doesn't want to miss anythuing so doesn't show signs of being sleepy, and then all of a sudden is totally overtired.
- I too read that babies need sleep every 2 hours but he completely resists a nap after 2 hours and somwetimes goes 3 or 4 or even longer between sleeps.
Can't say I can offer any helpful advice at all but just wanted to say thanks for sharing as it's great to know it's not just me and that I haven't completely messed up somehow! The sleep deprivation is murder isn't it!?!?
All I can say is that last night I made myself go to bed at 7.15pm as soon as he did and he slept until 11.00. Normally I would have gone to bed at 11 so not got any of that sleep but it did me a world of good to get a few hours, even if it felt ridiculous going to bed so early!!
Also, I know many people have advised to chuck the books away and i think I agree, although i did fin the Baby Whisperer quiz quite helpful where you can work out roughly what kind of temperament your baby has. Mine is well and truely a 'spirited baby' and it sounds like your little girl might be too. She has some useful tips about coping with such babies.
All the best!!
Oh Sykes I totally have a 'spirited' baby! They're hard work aren't they?! Gosh our little ones are similar.
Well we went out and she dozed in the buggy then sat happily on my knee while I had a hot choc with friends, then at about 3.30 got all grizzly. Panicking, I packed up to leave then as soon as she was laid down in the buggy she nodded off, so I hung about a bit longer and she slept . She then continued to sleep in the buggy on the way home and is still asleep.
I'm going to wake her if she hasn't roused by 5.30 I think as I don't want to interfere with her usual bedtime. I think she got overtired today, so will try taking her out in the mornings instead to see if I can encourage her to nap then.
Just wanted to add my 2 pennies worth
Sounds normal.
Totally sympathise with how exhausting this must be for you, though!
My son was 'spirited' (that's one word for it!) and his babyhood was knackering. I know it sounds like crap advice, but I genuinely think it's a case of chucking out all books/guidelines etc and observing your baby closely for a week or two while going with the flow. Can you tell when your baby is tired? Does she ever have longer sleeps? if so, under what conditions?
I'd persevere with the 'naps in buggy' thing. Try to 'catch' her when he is genuinely ready for a sleep and then block out all stimulation - put down the hood/raincover, have the buggy facing you or whatever (I used to drape a blanket over the hood to make it really dark), then go for a fast walk and see what happens. I used to do this once in the morning and once in the afternoon with my DS, and eventually (probably by about 16 weeks) he seemed to have established his own pattern of having a short nap in the morning and a longer nap in the afternoon.
Good luck!
It is tough, as I think parenting guides and the like lead us to believe that we are in (or should be in) complete control of our babies and can mould them into whatever we choose. As you are learning, that's bollocks . Babies are definitely born with certain temperaments, and some are more testing than others
She does sometimes sleep for longer - no real pattern to it though, sometimes it's when we've been out, other times just at home in her chair or (once) in her cot. When she has had a long nap it's invariably at lunchtime or later, never in the morning even if we've been up since 6!
Going to try the buggy morning and afternoon for a week. If nothing else, it'll get us out and me some exercise.
Her sleep signals are not very obvious, she never quietens or looks dozy, but can go from happy to overtired in a flash so i'm going to watch her carefully to see if i'm missing something.
thank you everyone and god bless the spirited babies, may we one day get some sleep!
Hi lovely - totally second MrsMattie on the whole do what you can to get them to sleep. You've seen me pacing round Streatham with stuff clothes pegged to the bee to block out the world so Ethan sleeps! And it does work - he's even occasionally napping for over an hour now (prob every 3 days or so)
I think the key is try not to second guess her, prepare yourself for the half hour naps, anything extra is a bonus.
I try to get E to nap his first nap in his cot every day, just to make sure he does sleep in it sometimes (this is ALWAYS half an hour) then after that go about doing what I want and can knowing he'll nap in the buggy or at someone else's house if I make sure I have the swaddle and dummy with me
see you Friday, or am about tomorrow if you want some company on a napinducing walk
Hi GWTMH!
I think I need to stock up on clothes pegs... I really think she would nap in the Bee better if it was dark.
Well, B has gone to bed beautifully tonight after a bath and a feed, straight down in the cot at 7.30 and still sleeping. Her grobag needs washing so I'm trying something different tonight, I've swaddled her. We'll see how we go with that!
Off to the osteopath tomorrow and dropping in on old colleagues in Clerkenwell (protests/riots permitting - the actual ones, not B I'm talking about!), but will defo see you Friday xx
So we had a slightly better night last night...
B woke for feeds at 11.30pm, 1.30am and a small top up at 4.30am, settled easily back down in her cot afterwards. Small blip at 5.30 when two foxes mating very loudly in the street outside woke us all up, but she went down again easily after that then started her day at 6.30.
Still more wakings than I would like but it's so much easier when she settles easily afterwards and more importantly in her own bed! I think the swaddling made a huge difference.
We'll see how we go with naps today, we're out and about this afternoon in the car which either causes her to nod off or scream... and will get a walk in this morning while the weather is beautiful.
Sykes do you swaddle your little boy? I know he's a bit bigger but could still be worth a try?
I'd just like to add that ds decided that the only acceptable places to nap during the day if I was around were in his buggy (as long as it was moving); occasionally in the car and mostly on me. He wouldn't 'go down' for a nap on his own until he was about 10mo (except at nursery when he would just fall asleep on the cushions ) - if I was around he wanted to be with me.
We didn't start managing to have a proper bedtime for him until about 4 or 5 mo - he just stayed with us (getting a bit more sleepy, but still mostly awake) until we went to bed.
He's now 4. He is certainly spirited. His bedtime is normally before 7 and we leave him singing to himself...
(and we found cranial osteopathy good too - solved the colic and later on helped with congestion....)
we swaddled except for one arm lol... that had to be free.
Just popping back in to share a couple of napping in buggy tips.
Firstly, DS liked it best when the ground was evenly bumpy. I used to go up and down Tesco carpark to get him to drop off as it has small bumpy paving stones.
Also, he would usually wake up after 40 mins (wherever he slept) but not if I was moving at that point. So, I'd have to walk to get him to sleep, then I could stop, go into shops, do whatever for 40 mins but then I had to be outside walking again or he'd wake up. Once I was passed that mark, I could stop/shop etc again. The only thing I couldn't do was go home. As soon as I crossed the threshold, he'd wake up
I did a lot of walking when DS was tiny but I did manage to lose 2 stone doing it so it wasn't all bad!
Hiya Crazycatlady - swaddling used to be the only way to get my lo to sleep when he was tiny as he would trash around and scare himself with his flailing arms. He still does it when he gets tired (in fact his movements are quite jerky and enthusiastic in general). We stopped swaddling him quite a while ago as we were hoping he would find his thumb to suck as he wont take a dummy and didn't want to tuck his hands away. He does suck his fingers and thumb but not well enough to soothe himself, more often he gets frustrated with it. We have tried to swaddle him again a few times recently but he alsways escapes within a few minutes - he's a very strong little man.
I looe the fact that he has got tonnes of personality and he is interested in everything and everyone but it's so so tiring having to entertain him all the time and coping with his boundless energy! My nights sound very similar to yours at the moment. Just about managable but could be a lot better!!
It's hard when they learn how to escape the swaddle! I know what you means Sykes about sucking their hands - DD just seems to get a bit manic and cross that she can't get her entire fist in her mouth!
After one successful swaddling night last night wasn't so good, she kept breaking out and just wanted to feed the whole time so I let her.
Hensmum that's interesting about the 40 minute mark... I might try that with her 30 minute wake up time. And the threshold of home is always when her eyes pop open... argh, must be the familiar smells of the house or something, unless she's in a really deep sleep she's awake as soon as we get the buggy in the door! Ah well, like you say, pounding the streets is good for the post-pregnancy shape up...
I find DS stays asleep after a walk if I march the buggy straight through the house and park him in the garden.
I think it's the change in temp that wakes them.
We're thinking of trying to get tough tonight and not letting him feed every time he wakes up but trying to settle him without a feed or leaving him to cry a bit (guilty 'bad Mum' feelings coming.....). Will let you know how it goes.
Well, it went fairly well last night!! He went to sleep at 8pm after a massive feed. He woke at 11pm but we decided he couldn't be hungry so hubby went in and picked him up for a cuddle and put him back down again. He then went in every 5 minutes to calm him down and see if he would go back to sleep without a feed. He screamed like mad but to my surprise went back to sleep in less than 20 mintes (i.e. hubby only had to get up 3 times.) He then slept until 2am. I gave him a nice long feed and a nappy change and put him back down and he slept until 4.30. He woke 3 times between 4.30 and 7am but only cried for less than 5 minutes each time before going back to sleep so hubby didn't have to get up to him. He then got up at 7am had a nice feed and is a happy bunny today!!
Felt a bit brutal letting him cry but he did seem to get the message. Will see how it goes tonight......
Well done Sykes! We're thinking of doing exactly the same thing as DD just isn't taking proper feeds at night but snacking her way through the early hours and into the morning, then not really hungry for the first part of the day either, argh...
Glad to hear your first night went well, I'm quite nervous about tonight, but I think it has to be worth a try to see if she'll fall into a new (more sleep friendly) pattern.
Let us know how you get on x
How did it go last night crazycatlady? My lo did even better lastnight - I can't believe this is working so far!!! He went to sleep at 8.45pm, woke at 12.30am and hubby went in 2 times so calm him down as he put on a good old screaming show again. This time back to sleep in about 15 minutes though. Then he didn't wake again until 3.45am!!!! Gave him a big feed and nappy change and put him back down and then he only woke once more between 4.30am and 7.30am and again he cried for less than 5 mins and put himself back to sleep without us going in. What's more, when I went in to check on him at 7.45 this morning he was awake in his cot and not crying!!! First time ever as he usually cries the minute he wakes up. I really hope this lasts - I feel like a new woman!!
Oh that's great Sykes, it's amazing what just a little bit more sleep can do for you!
We've had two slightly better nights after a hideous Thursday night, but DD has still ended up in bed next to me some time around midnight but last night only woke for feeds at 12.30 and 4.15 after a short and very sleepy dreamfeed at 10.30. She was ready to start her day at 5.45 though, argh!
We've decided to really concentrate on the daytime naps and feeds in the hope that getting that sorted will help overall with the nights if she's going to bed having had enough food and not overtired. It's hard work but she's napped really well this morning and is just a joy to be around at the moment, so it's clear she really does need those daytime naps.
Fingers crossed for another good night for you.
Hi CCL,
Had a really good night last night but he's been a little horror today, especially this evening. He has been screaming blue murder and has been hysterical - it's been a nightmare!! Finally got him off to sleep at 9pm and off to bed myself now. Have a feeling tonight isn't going to go so well as couldn't do any of the bedtime routine (i.e. bath, massage etc) as he was too upset. 2 steps forward, 1 step back seems to be the story with this little one.
He was actaulyl alright last night afterall. Slept from 9pm-3.30am and then from 4.30am-7.30am. I thinhk we may have cracked it for now. Let me know how you are getting on.
I'm not sure what the answer is. I have been following the Sleepytot Blogand I'm sure the lady on that has got an easy baby! Ha!
One thing she does say is that putting your baby down to sleep awake is the most important thing. So maybe you could try not rocking your baby to sleep? I've found the advice on there useful - better than the books because at least it's real!
I dont get lots of this, but Im pretty old school and dont believe in co-sleeping etc.
IMHO you need to stop the co-sleeping, and why are you rocking your baby to sleep?? I have a friend who's child at 5 will still not sleep without her stroking him ...bizarre, sorry but children need to learn to fall asleep on their own.
Swaddling was my godsend, i used to wrap ds up like a little worm and he would drop off in minutes (daytime too)
Hope you sort it out
Well she only gets rocked gently to settle her down, then she gets a little cuddle and down in the cot dozy with eyes closed but not completely asleep IYSWIM. I then just hold a hand on her chest until she's off.
If I put her down completely awake (I've tried it many times), she just stays awake, playful for an hour or so then starts to whinge. She'd stay like that all day (and all night) if I let her so I do need to help her get to sleep for now - she's only 12 weeks afterall.
Swaddling just seems to make her angry, and she won't take a dummy now either (which I don't really mind).
We've been working on getting her to nap however we can at the moment to make sure she's not overtired, then as off the Easter weekend (when DH will be around more to help for a good few days and nights) we are going to work on getting her to nap in her cot and stay in her own bed at night! We know she can do it as she sleeps in her own cot from 7.30pm until her first night feed at about 11.30pm it's just helping her to do it the rest of the time that we need to work on!
p.s. glad to hear things are going better Sykes
How have the last few nights been CCL? We had a terrible night last night. Hubby and me must have got up about 9 or 10 times between us. I'm knackered!!
You poor thing! I think that will be us over the Easter break though when we start working on DD staying in her cot all night.
At the moment I'm just trying to get her as much sleep as possible, however possible, so it's long walks in the buggy during the day and some cosleeping at night.
Last night she did well - went down at 7.30 after her last feed, then again at 10.30 after dreamfeed. But the she was up at 11.30 so I put her next to me and she slept until 6.50am - albeit punctuated with a few short slurps of boob here and there throughout the night - but no proper feeds so it's obviously a comfort thing now more than a need for food. A habit we can break I'm sure with a bit of concerted effort on mine and DH's part from Thursday night onwards - not looking forward to it at all!
What do you think caused your bad night last night? It's two steps forward one step back I think... normal I reckon, but frustrating all the same.
mosschops Your friend 5 year old is not a result of rocking to sleep at just weeks old.
Children do not not need to be taught how to fall asleep, unless you believe they never slept in the womb.
Babies fall asleep when they feel safe. As they grow older and get used to world around them and learn that their mother still exists when not in sight they can feel safe in her absence.
Thinking of you tonight CCL - here's hoping LO gets your drift quickly, and you and DH can drift off as well!
Hi Boobz!
Well last night was a disaster of two hourly wakings but not really hungry then up for the day at 5 and not hungry until 7.30 argh...
Started on a new System today, as recommended by our sleep consultant, and just did our first successful Pick Up Put Down to get her ladyship off to sleep at 7.30 and IT WORKED.
A loooong night ahead methinks, while she gets used to not being fed back to sleep every time and being settled back in her cot rather than coming in with us. I'm going to dreamfeed at 10.30 then not feed her again until at least 2.30, then not again before 6. Expecting a few wake ups in between which will be hard as we'll be PUPD again, probably for AGES.
Hope your little lady is still being an angel xx
Hi CCL. how did it go last night? after the initial success of our first few nights of PUPD last week things have not gone quite so well, but there is still a definate improvement. 2 steps forward, one step back....
I would just like to say that it does get better!
DD was like this as a baby, would wake up every couple of hours. I was bloody knackered.
She is now 12 and won't get out of bed now!
Thanks HCPP! How quickly does it get better? I hope before 12 years ...!
Sykes we had an okish time of it last night. PUPD worked to resettle her when she woke at 9pm and 11.30pm (did a DF at 10.30 but she didn't take much). Fed at 1am as she was starving by then, and she resettled in cot easily.
Then at 3am it went a bit wrong... she woke, hungry again and PUPD was just winding her up. I was then exhausted, and she also sounded like she had a bad sore throat and stuffy nose. Not wanting to sleep train a sick baby I put her down to sleep next to me for the rest of the night. So it's progress, no matter how small.
Today has been ok, PUPD didn't work for first nap of the day so she's had 3 naps in buggy. Feeding going well. Will do PUPD for bedtime settling then see how she goes overnight. She does have a slight sore throat/cold so don't want to push it.
Hope you have a better night tonight. It's normal to get some regression isn't it? Frustrating though...
How's it going CCL? We had another terrible night last night. Hubby eneded up in the spare room from 3am and had a lay in until 11am this morning. Lucky him. I on the other hand was up every hour or 2 all night and when I did get to bed I couldn't sleep. Have so far managed to grab about an hour today when lo was napping.
I need sleep!!!
Oh no, poor you Sykes. Why couldn't your H help you a bit more last night? Were you feeding every wake up?
After two terrible nights we had a slightly better one last night - just as many wake ups but DD is getting better at settling herself now we're teaching her what to do.
- she went to bed at 7,
-dreamfeed at 10.30 (which after some perseverance she's starting to take more at),
- woke at midnight and settled herself after two mins with H sitting by her cot
- woke at 2.30am for feed - good feed
- woke at 4 - same as midnight
- started day at 6.15
So not too bad really. Starting to get some good daytime naps and spacing out feeds a bit during the day so she's properly hungry and taking a full feed. Seems to be helping the overall situation. Expecting some setbacks though, have got the night fear already!
keep going CCL, you're doing a great job. Hope she starts to get better soon - thinking of you
No, hubby is usually pretty good but I got to the point where I couldn't sleep so I said he may as well sleep in another room as there was no point us both lying there awake all night! I didn't feed every wake up. Am trying really hard to only feed at bedtime, one feed in the night and then one feed when he gets up, although is very tempting to just feed him sometimes and not have to go through the PUPD and the crying!
Glad you had a better night and that DD is getting better at settling herself. Sounds like you are doing all the right things and glad it is paying off. How was last night?
I managed to get a couple of hours sleep before he woke last night and then a fair buit of broken sleep for the rest of the night. Also went back to bed when he has his first nap this morning, which ended up being 2 hours long (!) so I got about 1 and a half hours sleep then. Planning on going to bed early again tonight but still feels odd to go to bed at 9/10pm. I am by nature a proper night owl.
Good luck for the rest of the week! He's getting Christened this Sunday and I must admit I'm dreading it! Spirited baby who likes a good scream and all those people watchign and expecting him to be all cute - uh-oh!!
I know how tempting it is to feed... but I'm holding on to the hope that the PUPD will get less and less as time goes on, as long as we're consistent.
DD does certainly seem to be learning. But then we've got jabs at the end of this week, then I'm expecting the dreaded 4 month growth spurt to start, so who knows what will happen next... just when I'm getting used to one feed per night...
Last night was excellent, DD woke at 1am and settled herself within a minute or two, fed at 2.30, then stayed asleep until 6. Oddly, I felt WORSE today for having some slightly unbroken sleep. I guess that's normal, but mildly depressing.
I never know what to do about early nights - since I dreamfeed every night at 10.30/11ish I never feel like it's worth bothering going to bed at 9. Probably should though.
Good luck with the Christening. I'm sure the congregation won't mind a few screams! He may surprise you and be so interested in his surroundings and being the centre of attention that it doesn't occur to him to make a fuss. Glad you got a bit of rest today.
Yay!!!! Just when I thought I couldn't bear it any longer, DS only woke up 3 times last night!!! He went to bed at 9pm (thought we'd try later and see what happened), woke at about midnight and about 1 and had a bit of a cry but settled after about 20 minutes each time. Then he slept through until 6.30am!!! My boobs were bursting when I woke up! He then had a feed and went straight back to sleep until 9.30. Wow!!! I think it was possibly cos he had his injections yesterday but we'll see how he goes tonight. How was your night CCL?
Brilliant, glad things were better last night. Even if you have more bad nights, having the odd not so bad night does really help you to cope.
DD went to bed at 7.30, I dreamfed her at 11, then she didn't wake until 2.15. Trying to space out the night feeds a bit so did PUPD for 15 mins and she went back to sleep until 3, fed her, then she went back to sleep until 6.30.
So we have made huge progress... also getting some good results with daytime naps now, they're short (30-40 mins), but she's settling herself in her cot (after 10 mins or so of fussing and the odd bit of PUPD). Then we're getting her some longer naps after lunch in the buggy.
Downside of trying to space out these feeds is I too have busting boobs and a bit of pinkness in the right hand side this morning so really trying to stave off the dreaded mastitis, argh...
Good stuff CCL - sounds like things are definately moving in the right direction. How are the boobs? I hope you've managed to stave off mastitis.
We had a great night last night. DS went to sleep at 9pm (seems to be a much better bedtime for him), woke at 12.30am and had a bit of a cry, but hubby only had to go in once, then he woke at 3.15am and had a feed and then slept through until 8am!!! Bliss!
Just trawling through old threads and wanted to add a bit of closure in case there are any mums of newborns going through sleep hell.
After four nights of using PUPD and spacing feeds, DD was sleeping like an angel and only waking for one night feed, hence I stopped posting! It took us a couple of weeks to sort the daytime naps, but it was worth the effort. She started taking 45 mins in the morning, 2 hours at lunch and 30 mins late afternoon after 2 weeks of doing PUPD to help her settle in her cot and to extend her naps when she woke still tired.
I am glad we coslept for the first few weeks and that we did a gentle form of sleep training quite early on, and DD has been a good sleeper ever since. I have to caveat this by saying that she has been through a phase of wanting to start her day at 6am (and sometimes 5.30 but she slept through the night consistently from 5 and a half months.
I know you can never count your chickens on the sleep front but, for now, at 11 months, she's down to one 2 hour nap at lunchtime and is sleeping 7pm to 7am like a dream. So hold on mums of newborns, it does get better, but when you need help I can highly recommend the Baby Sleep Answers website which I had brilliant support and advice from.
My little boy is almost 12 weeks old and was doing this till around 8 weeks old. He seemed to like having lots of room to fling his arms and legs about, if he was swaddled or in his sleep bag, he'd wake up seeming frustrated. We found it was the tight space so he is now in a cot in our bedroom. We bat him at 9pm and then feed him and he goes in his cot, awake or not by around 9.30. We are using infacol through out the day and night. It might be an idea to supplement with bottle feeds during the day. My baby was 8lb 12oz when he was born and breast alone was not enough for him. I also had a traumatic birth, being an army wife in Germany, they tend not to use pain relief unless its an emergancy so i went through a 23 hour labour with no pain relief, baby got stuck for 3 hours and the doctors ended up using fundal pressure to get him out. He was exactly as you describe your baby for around 4 weeks. Establishing a routine is what everyone says but just do what you think is right. I let him sleep when he needs to during the day. Get a play mat and try and tire her out a bit, take her round the house cleaning with you. Ive done this since the birth of my son and he now sleeps from around 9.30pm till around 5, has a feed, then straight back to sleep till around 8/9. It sounds like your daughter is bored, and frustrated. Try a play mat, books, rattles etc. At 11 weeks old your baby will not be sleeping every 2 hours, maybe if shes having a growth spirt, but at 11 weeks old, they should be awake for around 3-4 hours at a time with small naps inbetween. Hope this helps.

Links-style golf on the mainland can be hard to find, but Falcon Lakes Golf Club's 18-hole course emulates the characteristics of the game's traditional Scottish tracks. From the tips, the 7,098-yard circuit proves quite formidable, with a quartet of long par-fives?topping out at 566 yards?and a few titanic par-fours, including the 481-yard 12th hole, the course's most difficult hole. Intimidating hole length isn't the course's only links characteristic. At the end of each zoysia grass fairway, golfers must contend with slick, bent-grass greens, most of which exceed 6,000 square feet in size to make two-putts very difficult but helicopter golf-cart landings a breeze. Ankle-high native grass sways in the breeze on certain holes, and hazardous mounds deny a level stance to those who stray from the fairways or greens. Before rounds, golfers can get a feel for the putting surfaces at a multi-tiered practice green, practice their swings at a zoysia grass driving range, or dig for ancient scorecards in the bunkers that surround the chipping green.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 72 course * Length of 7,098 yards from the tips * Four tee options * Scorecard
The new owners of The Oaks Golf Club renovated the nine-hole Oaks course by expanding greens and adding dimension, resulting in 2,573 rolling yards with elevation variations as high as 50 feet. Take to the par 35 course with a fellow divot devotee and launch dimpled orbs through the air in spirited re-creations of the Apollo 12 moon landing. Each green on the course is now an average of 5,000 square feet in size, with recently built mounding around the holes adding nuance and difficulty to each putt and slice. A recently installed irrigation system helps playing surfaces stay fresh for birdies and impromptu company picnics.
In 2009, Golf Digest readers chose Falcon Ridge as the 17th-best public course in the United States. Recognized time and again on a national level, Falcon Ridge's course is a trip through the rippling hills of western Lenexa. Pristine manicured Zoysia tees are at the start every hole, which lead to terrain that challenges every aspect of a player's game. It's not all about bogies and birdies, though?the course has frequent elevation changes where you can get gorgeous views that are worth the trip alone. Away from the fairways, golfers can even take some swings at Falcon Ridge's 25-station driving range or two-tiered putting area.
Course at a Glance * 18-hole, par 72 course * Length of 6,820 from the tips * Course rating ot 72.7 from the tips * Slope rating of 136 from the tips * Five tee options * Scorecard

Impressive as his portfolio is, even Jones, Jr. admits Deer Creek Golf Club in Overland Park is some of his best work. A four-star recipient from Golf Digest, Deer Creek balances beauty with adversity. Winding creeks follow golfers from one hole to the next as they work their way through the densely wooded layout, which features multiple holes that eclipse the 500-yard mark.

Arizona Judge Pardons Jeffs from All Charges of Sexual Abuse
A judge in Arizona on Wednesday pardoned all the charges against Warren Jeffs, old President of Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, following the appeal by Mohave County for expelling the former from the Church.
Jeffs had been held under four charges for sexual harassing a minor girl in Arizona.
He was booked in Texas in 2008 on a charge of felonious sexual attack on a child. The girl was aged less than 17 years and had illegally tied the knot with Jeff in 2005.
The charges came to the fore when Jeff was jailed in August 2006. The FBI has put his name on its 10 most wanted list.
FLDS is a derivative of the Mormon Church comprising more than 10,000 members. Almost all the members are polygamous and declare it freely.
According to the critics, these party fellows oblige young girls to marry aged men and exploit them sexually.
However, the party leaders have refuted all the claims made by the critics regarding the forced marriages.
Jeff was held in Utah in 2007, ahead of his transferring to Arizona. He had been accused to have raped two minor girls.

June 13, 2001
The future track and field stars of Team USA will compete at the 2001 U.S. Junior National Championships, June 16-17 at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va. Part of the Verizon Youth Series, this meet will serve as the selection competition for two U.S. Junior teams that will compete internationally this summer.
In order to qualify to compete at the Junior National Championships, an athlete must meet certain performance standards and be between the ages of 14-19 in the calendar year of 2001.
UCLA will send nine athletes to the 2001 USA Junior Meet, including five men and four women.
UCLA Men
UCLA Women
T & F Stars of Tomorrow
Leading the field of competitors are three defending champions: Jeff
Chakouian of Seekonk, Mass., in the men's shot put, Josh McCaughey of W.
Kingston, R.I., in the men's hammer, and Laura Gerraughty of Nashua, N.H.,
in the women's shot put.
NCAA sprint champion Justin Gatlin of Tennessee will compete in the 100, 200 and 110m hurdles. UCLA's Cosby and Kate Johnston, both members of Team USA at the 2000 World Junior Championships in Santiago, Chile, will compete in the hammer throw, with Cosby also throwing the shot put. Many top prep U.S. athletes are scheduled to compete, including Massachusetts pole vaulter Samantha Shepard and Texas prep star Ychlindria Spears, who is entered in three events, the long and triple jumps and the 200m. Mississippi sprinter Janice Davis is expected to compete in the 100 and 200 meters.
After the 2001 U. S. Junior Meet
The top two highest place finishers in each event at the Junior
Championships will be eligible for the selection pool for competitions in
Europe and Argentina. The selection of teams will be at the sole discretion
of USATF and its committees. The first
meet, a dual meet with Great Britain, is scheduled for August 18 at
Stoke-on-Trent, England. Following that meet, the national champions in
selected events will have the opportunity for an additional competition in
Edinburgh, Scotland on August 25. The final international competition for
Team USA junior athletes will be the 2001 Junior Pan American Games, held
this year in Sante Fe, Argentina, October 18-20. Due to the time of the
year that this meet is being held, USATF will take a limited team,
consisting primarily of jumpers, throwers and racewalkers.
U. S. Junior Program
The U.S. Junior program has contributed greatly in the development of many
of America's finest track and field athletes. Past junior champions include
all-time greats Carl Lewis, UCLA's Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Marion Jones, Lynn
Jennings, Mike Conley and Renaldo Nehemiah, among many others.
For more information on the 2001 U.S. Junior Championships and the Verizon
Youth Series, including results and a complete list of the athletes entered
in the event, visit the USATF Web site at www.usatf.org.

This fascinating fact-inspired thriller (adapted from Ben Mezrich's book Bringing Down the House) centres on genius maths student Ben (Jim Sturgess), who is recruited by Kevin Spacey's devious professor Micky Rosa to join a team of gifted students who use their number skills to win fortunes at Las Vegas casinos.
This concert movie is guaranteed to please Rolling Stones fans, who will love the vivid coverage of the band's recent concert at New York's Beacon Theatre, interspersed with flashbacks to past interviews, notably one showing Mick Jagger speaking in an upper-class English accent rather than his more usual mockney. Given all four of the Stones — Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood — are now eligible for bus passes, their on-stage energy is remarkable.
Ori Kleiner's film demands that Israel's Bedouins be rescued from a life of terrible poverty.
Nobody could view Ori Kleiner's documentary about the lives of Bedouin communities in Israel as anything but a damning social critique. Shot on location in the Negev over the summer of 2006, Recognized presents a shocking portrait of the desperate poverty facing many of Israel's estimated 110,000 strong Bedouin population.
(PG) Wise-cracking Chicago newspaper journalist Lexie Littleton (Renee Zellweger) is assigned to investigate too-good-to-be true World War One hero-turned-college football idol Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski) who is signed by fellow football hero Dodge Connolly (George Clooney) to save his failing team. Naturally both men make a play for Lexie. Clooney, who doubles as director, stages some exciting football sequences, but, hampered by the lumpen screenplay, he mostly fails to revive the spirit of vintage 1930s screwball comedies.
Too many recent period movies — The Other Boleyn Girl is a notable example — have excessive period detail dumped on them. But writer-director Garth Jennings's perceptive coming-of-age comedy subtly establishes its 1982 suburban England setting without over-dressing.
(18) Ten years ago, Austrian writer-director Michael Haneke made a German-language thriller about two young psychopaths holding a holidaying family hostage, terrorising them and forcing them to "play" the eponymous funny games. It was well directed and acted. It was also shocking, sordid and exploitative.
(12A) Working-class brothers Accio (Elio Germano) and Manrico (Riccardo Scamaricio) come of age on opposite sides of the political spectrum in late 1960s Italy in director Daniele Luchetti's powerful family drama adapted from Antonio Pennacchi's bestselling novel Il Fascio comunista. Manrico becomes a Communist organiser while Accio, expelled from a seminary, joins up with a band of fascist thugs. Luchetti's skill is that he has made the film not as flat-out political polemic, but rather as a telling, sharply characterised story of relationships.
At the start of writer-director Joby Harold's feature debut, we learn that every year, one in 700 people wake up during surgery. The prospect is scary enough on its own. Harold resourcefully goes one step ahead by having his wealthy captain of industry protagonist, Clayton Beresford Jr (Hayden Christensen), find himself still awake, paralysed and unable to communicate after having been anaesthetised for a heart transplant operation.
Korean director Pan-Chan Wook, best known for his violent Vengeance trilogy, switches direction with this enjoyably quirky blend of romantic comedy and fantasy.
Radio-assembly-line worker Yeong-gun (Lim Su-jeong) is admitted to a mental institution convinced she is a cyborg.
There she meets frequent inmate Il-soon, played by "Korea's pop sensation" Jung Ji-hoon and love slowly blossoms. While the narrative arc is slight and the film is rather too long, there is considerable entertainment on the way.
Here is yet another tale of a young girl making good by dancing like crazy. The dancing is energetic, the seen-it-all-before story tedious.

We all get cancer many times in our lives, but our immune system normally eliminates it without our awareness of the close call. The problem with most cancers is that they are not cause by something present, a mutagenic virus, for example. Instead they result from something absent, a healthy, raring-to-go immune system. Therefore the focus should be on boosting the immune system.

A very short-sighted conclusion (330 comments)
Rather than hurting the American economy, it has helped, by keeping tabs on the technologies and business plans of foreign competitors. What do you think industrial spying is? And don't you think that the Federal Government is involved in such espionage. In fact, every major government in the world conducts industrial espionage. Groweth up.

The Real Punishment (337 comments)
The punishment is not the imprisonment, because most hackers spend their waking hours confined to a room, cut off from physical contact with other humans. The punishment is isolation from the Internet, which leaves hackers with nothing to do but ponder their sorry, childish selves. That is what hackers truly and deeply fear.

So far no glitches for me I had many problems with .973
EDIT: I'm having an issue with syncing with my Desktop it looks to be with 2 of the 442 contacts I have. It hangs at 440 then I get an error. How do I determine what 2 contacts are the issue?
EDIT #2: on battery pull to see if it would help with the contact sync issue I got the dreaded "Uncaught exception: java.lang.nullpointerexception" just like I did with 973. Looks like I am reverting again.Last edited by BuckeyeRT; 12-01-2010 at 03:31 PM. Reason: Not sure its perfect

as long as the update is from the blackberrys update application it should be fine, but if you downloded the update ota from the internet and not from the Advance>wireless update i wouldnt know sounds kinda risky

how's everyone's reception so far ?? any problems ?
You can do OTA OS updates, just takes longer.
I would use a desktop.

no now that i look into it i dont think you would, i think it would just abck up all your data first but im not a 100% so dont go based on it lol
Everything seems very snappy. For me, it's a lot better than .1000.

OK just updated my wife's Sprint 8530 she was still on OS 184.108.40.2064.
So far what I notice is when I plug it into the wall charger,
the clock doesn't pop up. I checked the setting and have
it set to "Display When Charging". But it just stays on the homescreen.
I did notice that the lighting bolt over the battery
when plugged in, blinks. Didn't notice that before, but then
again, the clock used to show when charging. - 12-01-2010, 08:41 PM #14
I can confirm that my Sprint 8530 still has broken bedside mode when plugged into wall charger. Settings in clock options are correctly set. Plug it into the computer it goes into bedside mode. Come on RIM, this is ridiculous.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 12-01-2010, 09:22 PM #15
Looks like the 'no bedside mode/wall charger' issue that cropped up with .973 is still in this update - had to use the net_rim_bb_clock_lib.cod from .886 to get it corrected.
Also lost the custom icons in bbweather...will work on that fix later.Thanked by 4:fr33kachu (05-07-2011), Livewire043 (12-03-2010), mannybz (12-23-2010), xpedx110 (12-29-2010)

so i just got the chance to update my sprint curve from .1000 to .1030 and it is ridiculously slow, like it will take me 30 minutes to download bbm when it would take me 30 seconds before (in the same exact location in my house)
Could this be ...
1) i havent restarted it since the update
2)sprint isnt functioning correctly right now
3) its buggy and i should downgrade to .1000
hows everyone elses reception ughh - 12-02-2010, 06:49 AM #19
FYI... Did the OTA update from 973... Didn't lose any data. It does its own backup as a part of the update. I am on a BES, so I wouldn't lose any e-mail stuff for sure.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 12-02-2010, 01:14 PM #22
I downloaded and installed this last night. Still missing my bedside mode, but had no trouble installing. I did a battery pull after installation, so maybe that helped?
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 12-02-2010, 01:21 PM Thread Author #23
well ive done a couple battery pulls and it seems the reception itself is starting to stabilize i believe the problem is with app world itself. just gonna ride it out for a couple days but man im already hoping for another update lol
Any other one on the horizon ?? - 12-02-2010, 02:58 PM Thread Author #24

Calgary Flames (29-18-7) at Buffalo Sabres (37-15-4), 7 p.m.
(Sports Network) - A pair of division leaders face off this evening at Buffalo's HSBC Arena, where the Northeast-leading Sabres continue their season-long homestand with a matchup against the Calgary Flames.
After enduring a rough eight-game stretch from mid-to-late January, the Sabres appear to have regained the form which has made them the top point-getters in the Eastern Conference this season. On Thursday, Buffalo recorded its fourth victory in its last five outings with a 3-2 downing of division-rival Ottawa.
Thomas Vanek's second goal of the night snapped a 2-2 deadlock with under four minutes left to play as the Sabres began this six-game home stretch on a positive note. Maxim Afinogenov also scored for Buffalo, while goaltender Martin Biron contributed 28 saves to the winning effort.
The Sabres have now won four in a row at HSBC Arena and bring an 18-7-2 home mark into tonight's tilt.
Left Wing Paul Gaustad (left ankle) will miss Saturday's game against Calgary, while defenseman Jaroslav Spacek (sprained knee) could return to the lineup tonight.
Calgary, on the other hand, has struggled on the road all season long. The Flames are a disappointing 7-13-6 away from the Saddledome and have dropped five of their last six as the visitor.
The Northwest Division leaders are coming off Thursday's 2-1 defeat at Columbus in their first test of a three-game road swing. David Vyborny and Fredrik Modin scored less than a minute apart in the third period to rally the Blue Jackets.
Matthew Lombardi had the lone Calgary goal and Jamie McClennan finished with 29 saves for the Flames, who have lost two straight and four of their last seven overall.
Calgary's Kristian Huselius managed to extend his point streak to 14 consecutive games by earning an assist on Lombardi's marker. The Swedish forward has racked up 20 points (9 goals, 11 assists) during the run, which is the longest by any NHL player this season.
Despite the loss, the Flames maintained their slim lead atop the Northwest. Calgary currently stands one point in front of both Vancouver and Minnesota for the top spot in the competitive division.
The Flames will be making their first appearance in Buffalo since losing a 5-2 decision to the Sabres on November 23, 2001. The four most recent meetings between these clubs have been held at the Saddledome, with Calgary emerging victorious in three of those encounters.
Calgary is winless (five losses, one tie) in its last six visits to Buffalo.

Nice lookin corvett you got there Cane.
Hey....i see one of mine in there [IMG][/IMG] these were the easiest to get to, so they'll have to do for now. Slo
I prefer a razor blade point. I work construction, so thats what I'm used to. I have a work knife, and a carry knife. I mostly use it to open stuff or to pick out splinters. Its nice having a REALLY sharp blade all the time, and not have to worry about the blade getting dull.
i posted this one in the ar forum, should be here... [IMG][/IMG] kind of big, but do-able if you wear real BAGGY pants. just don't be in a hurry to pull them out, you could get a new nickname out of that deal....Stubz Slo

I'm a steel snob, so I'm not a big fan of CRKT's (why would they go with stuff like AUS6 or AUS4!), but I do like Kershaws a lot. They've got some very well made knives, manufactured in the US, for the same price as Benchmade red line knives (made in China or Taiwan) or Spyderco's Chinese made Byrds. Storms, Skylines, Cyclons and Leeks fly off the shelves at my store, I just can't stock enough. The designs are very well thought out, and they appeal to people who wouldn't usually be atracted to knives. My favourite is the Leek with S30V blade and G10 handle, and the Gentleman's Lockback which is a real sleeper in their lineup. It's the smoothest, tightest fitting mass produced lockback I've owned. The VG-10 blade is fantastic and the thin micarta handle slabs make it very pocket friendly. And it costs $75! Kershaw Gentleman's Folder, Micarta Handle, Plain Edge, Leather Sheath

- TODAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE: President Obama is juggling a request for funding to tackle the crisis at the border, his Oval Office meeting with the NATO Secretary General, and the start of his three-day trip to Colorado and Texas, ABC's MARY BRUCE notes. The administration plans to submit a request to Congress for upwards of $2 billion in funding to secure the border and deal with the flood of unaccompanied children coming into the U.S. The funding would go toward immigration judges, ICE lawyers, asylum officials and others that could help expedite the backlogged immigration cases.
- OBAMA OFFERS TO MEET WITH PERRY: Facing intense criticism over his decision not to visit the Mexican border during his upcoming trip to Texas, President Obama is now offering to meet with Texas Gov. Rick Perry to discuss the influx of children illegally crossing the border, ABC's JONATHAN KARL reports. In a letter from sent to Perry late last night, senior advisor Valerie Jarrett extended the invitation and urged him to support President Obama's request for additional funding to address the crisis. "Thank you for your concern about the urgent humanitarian situation in the Rio Grande Valley," Jarrett wrote. "The President would welcome meeting you while he is in Texas…. The President hopes you will join him in urging Congress to quickly pass emergency funding to deal with the current situation at the border."
- WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS? Most of the unaccompanied minors flooding across the border will 'be sent home," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said yesterday. "Based on what we know about these cases, it is unlikely that most of these kids will qualify for humanitarian relief. And what that means is it means that they will not have a legal basis for remaining in this country and will be returned," Earnest said. While all the minors have the opportunity to apply for asylum, the chances of it being granted are slim. "Each case is specific and will be treated on a case-by-case basis. That's the way this — that's what the immigration law requires. That's why, again, we're seeking additional judges and lawyers and asylum officials who can process these claims more quickly to make sure that each case is heard and given the requisite amount of attention," he said. "If those children do not have a legal basis for remaining in this country — and as I mentioned, it's unlikely that those children will be found to have a — or likely to qualify for humanitarian relief — they'll be sent home," he said.
TODAY ON THE HILL: HAGEL AND DEMPSEY PARTICIPATE IN RARE BRIEFING. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey head to Capitol Hill this morning for a rare closed briefing for the Senate Armed Services Committee. It's rare to see both senior leaders go before the committee in a solely closed session, ABC's LUIS MARTINEZ notes. If this ever happens it's usually to touch on classified matters that might have come up during an open hearing. That's not the case today as the committee specifically asked Hagel and Dempsey to talk about Iraq and Afghanistan. It's a flashback to previous years when the U.S. military role in each country was always the main topic. Today's discussion will surely touch on the U.S. military's return to Iraq and the growing concerns about how an election crisis in Afghanistan could affect the planned U.S. military advisory presence after this year.
–AFGHANISTAN: The release of preliminary results of the second round of Afghanistan's Presidential election have triggered a political crisis as first round winner Abdullah Abdullah now trails Ashraf Ghani by a wide margin. Claiming election fraud Abdullah has declared himself the winner and said he would establish a "parallel government". In a statement issued late last night, Secretary of State John Kerry -traveling in China — called those comments of "gravest concern" and said "any action to take power by extra-legal means will cost Afghanistan the financial and security support of the United States and the international community." Hours later Abdullah told supporters that he was the election winner but that he would hold off on naming a parallel government for a few days to give American diplomacy a chance to resolve the election dispute.
–IRAQ: The U.S. military assessment teams continue to do their work in determining what kind of assistance the Iraqi military will need to regain northern and western areas of the country seized by ISIS militants. They'll be sure to ask Gen. Dempsey about his comments last week that left the door open for airstrikes in support of any Iraqi government offensive. Look for the assessment teams to complete their work by the end of this week, with final reports headed to the Pentagon and ultimately to the White House. After the assessments are completed the assessment teams will convert into advisor teams that will work with the Iraqi security ministries and senior military commands.
NEW HILLARY CLINTON NUMBERS LOOK GOOD. Hillary Clinton is in Europe on her book tour, but she has some welcome numbers in this country this morning, ABC's SHUSHANNAH WALSHE notes. With the usual caveats that it is still too early for 2016 polls and presidential polls this early are really just due to name recognition, let's take a look at the numbers. In the Quinnipiac University poll out this morning, Clinton takes 58% of the vote and "tops several possible Republican candidates by margins of 7 to 9 percentage points." This survey finds "no front-runner" in the GOP field. After Clinton, Elizabeth Warren comes in with 11%, Joe Biden has 9%, Andrew Cuomo comes in with 4%, while everyone else is under 1% and 15% are undecided. The GOP field shows Rand Paul with 11%, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, and Jeb Bush with 10% each, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker, and Paul Ryan with 8% each, Marco Rubio with 6%, and everyone else is under 1% while 20% are undecided. The closest match ups are with Chris Christie and Clinton takes 47% to 38%, as well as Paul and Huckabee where Clinton has 49% to their 40%. With Bush and Ryan, Clinton bests them by 7%. http://bit.ly/1jb2UyJ
–THE SURVEY ALSO TAKES A LOOK AT 2014 and when it comes to control of both the House and the Senate the numbers could not be tighter. 46% of voters want Republicans to win control of the Senate while 44% want Democratic control of the Senate. The same "too-close-to call" margin applies to the House as well. As for whether American voters approve of Congress that answer is still no, but they seem to hate Democrats slightly less. Voters disapprove 73% to 18% of the "job Republicans in Congress are doing" and they disapprove 63% to 29% of the "job Democrats in Congress are doing." The margin of error is 2.6% points.
–AD BUYS — AND BABIES — IN LOUISIANA. Louisiana Republican Senate candidate Rep. Bill Cassidy is rolling out his second TV ad in his campaign to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, ABC's JORDYN PHELPS notes. The ad slams the Affordable Care Act for an exemption that allows members of Congress and their staffers to opt out of using the government exchanges. "It's good enough for us but not for them — that's what's wrong with Washington," Cassidy, himself a physician, says to camera in the ad. The $100,000 ad buy will roll out in New Orleans immediately and then statewide over the next few weeks. The ad's release comes days after the campaign disclosed that Cassidy's teenage daughter is pregnant. Cassidy said in a statement to the local Times-Picayune newspaper that he and his wife "welcome" their forthcoming grandchild, while also noting that his daughter "now faces a more challenging future."

–CROSSROADS GPS GOES ON THE AIR IN ARKANSAS AND COLORADO. Today Crossroads GPS, the 501(c)(4) affiliate of the American Crossroads super PAC is launching two fresh attack ads in Arkansas and Colorado. The ads aggressively target Democratic Senators Mark Pryor (Arkansas) and Mark Udall (Colorado) who are running in two hotly contested 2014 Senate races, ABC's SCOTT WILSON notes. "Struggle" appeals directly to Arkansas families—and in a short 32 seconds—does its best to portray Sen. Mark Pryor as a typical Washington-style politician. A concerned narrator talks of canceled health plans and the worry of "higher premiums and medicare cuts." These concerns are contrasted with Mark Pryor's vote to use "tax-payer funded healthcare subsidies"—for members of congress and their staff—to help pay for Obamacare premiums. WATCH: http://bit.ly/VCTWj6 "Good Start" manages to strikes a tone of urgency in describing new EPA regulations as costly and job-killing—criticizing Udall for calling such regulations a "good start." It claims that the "proposed EPA regulations could kill over 26,000 jobs in our region per year—and raise electricity bills as much as seventeen billion." The ad also criticizes Mark Udall for voting against the Keystone XL pipeline four times—and "holding up over 40,000 good-paying jobs." WATCH: http://bit.ly/1kyO2Fn

HILLARY CLINTON SAYS SHE HAD AN 'OBLIGATION' TO DEFEND ACCUSED RAPIST. Hillary Clinton has responded for the first time to recent criticism of her successful 1975 legal defense of an accused rapist, telling a British website that she was "appointed" to the case against her will and that ultimately she was just doing her "professional duty" as an attorney to defend him, according to ABC's LIZ KREUTZ. Last month, the conservative news site the Washington Free Beacon released audio uncovered from the Clinton archives at the University of Arkansas in which Hillary Clinton discusses how as a young lawyer she represented a 41-year-old accused rapist. In the recordings, from more than 30 years ago, Clinton is heard laughing as she describes how she was able to find a loophole in the system to discredit the evidence against her client, despite suggesting she knew he was guilty. Clinton, who is widely expected to run for president in 2016, is in Europe where she is promoting her ne memoir, "Hard Choices." http://abcn.ws/1zkQYiR
SENATE ADVANCES BILL EXPANDING SHOOTING RANGES ON FEDERAL LAND. The Senate cleared the first procedural hurdle on the Bipartisan Sportsmen's Act of 2014, which would allow states to assign more federal funding to create and maintain shooting ranges on federal land, ABC's ARLETTE SAENZ reports. The Senate voted 82 to 12 today to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the bill. "This is important because we are currently facing a shortage of public shooting ranges across the country," said Sen. Kay Hagan, D-North Carolina, who along with Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, is one of the lead sponsors of the bill. The bill also increases access to federal land for hunting and fishing and allows duck hunters to obtain their federal stamps electronically. It also loosens regulations on lead fishing tackle and ammunition. While an overwhelming majority of the Senate voted to move ahead with the measure, the two senators from Connecticut, Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, whose state was shaken after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, said they could not vote for cloture because the measure doesn't address gun violence. http://abcn.ws/1thfsJ6
WORLD CUP AMERICA? WHY A SENATOR CITES 'FAIRNESS' TO STRIP QATAR OF 2022 CONTEST. With this year's World Cup sparking renewed interest in soccer in the United States, a push is brewing to get another World Cup on U.S. soil – sooner rather than later, ABC's RICK KLEIN notes. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., has sent a letter to world soccer leaders calling on FIFA to strip Qatar of the 2022 World Cup and award it to the United States instead. His letter cites widespread reports of corruption in the bidding process, in addition to deplorable working conditions endured by the country's huge number of migrant workers. "I think it just makes sense in the interest of fairness that the United States should be awarded this opportunity," Casey said in the latest edition of the ESPN podcast series "Capital Games." "If you can't have that, then you would at least consider having a revote on the bidding countries." The Pennsylvania senator added that he hopes U.S. interest in this year's event in Brazil will encourage a new conversation about labor standards and fairness that could lead to another World Cup on U.S. soil. http://abcn.ws/1snL2Rk
FEDERAL JUDGE TELLS SUPREME COURT TO 'STFU.' U.S. federal Judge Richard Kopf declared Monday he thinks it's time for the Supreme Court to "STFU."Kopf made his pronouncement in a rather colorful blog post regarding the Supreme Court's recent decision Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, ABC's SCOTT WILSON notes. Kopf was appointed as a federal district judge president George H.W. Bush in 1992. "Next term is the time for the Supreme Court to go quiescent-this term and several past terms has proven that the Court is now causing more harm (division) to our democracy than good by deciding hot button cases that the Court has the power to avoid," Kopf wrote. "As the kids say, it is time for the Court to stfu." In his post, Kopf criticized the Supreme Court's recent decision that closely-held private corporations with sincere religious beliefs are not bound to the mandate, included in President Obama's signature health law, that employers must provide contraception coverage for female employees. "To the average person, the result looks stupid and smells worse," Kopf wrote. http://abcn.ws/VTCgjM
'CUBAN TV AIRPLANE' REPORT REVEALS $36M US BOONDOGGLE. Remember "Cuban Twitter," the ill-fated US test program that would have tried to get Cubans to text each other with subversive anti-government messages? Well, then this is "Cuban Television Airplane" – except it was an actual US-funded project, and existed for almost a decade, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars, before it was quietly canned in April 2014, a State Department Office of Inspector General report revealed Monday, according to ABC's ALI WEINBERG Called Aero Martí and purchased in 2006, the program included a single 1960s turboprop plane that tried to transmit US government broadcast signals to Cuba – except for the fact that the Cuban government easily jammed its signal every day so it never really worked. The doomed program was finally cancelled for good in April 2014, today's OIG report said. The plane, whose programming was nicknamed by Cubans as la TV que non se ve, ("the TV that can't be seen,")cost taxpayers a total of almost $36 million in the nine years it was funded. http://abcn.ws/1lP31KS
AMERICAN PRESIDENT'S STEAMY AFFAIR RESURRECTED. Better late than never — one of history's weakest American presidents is finally getting the opportunity to stir up a steamy legacy for himself, nearly a century after his death, according to ABC's ALISA WIERSEMA Love letters written by President Warren G. Harding to his mistress, Carrie Fulton Phillips, will be open to the public at the Library of Congress on July 29, revealing a slew of intimate moments that began when Harding was the lieutenant governor of Ohio. According to excerpts of the letters included in "The Harding Affair: Love and Espionage During the Great War" by James David Robenalt, Harding was quite the literary charmer, writing, "My Darling…There are no words, at my command, sufficient to say the full extent of my love for you- a mad, tender, devoted, ardent, eager, passion-wild, jealous…hungry…love."

Hurricane Chris - Headboard
Artist: Hurricane Chris
Producer: The Inkredibles
Album: Unleashed
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 67 votes )
There are some hit records that just aren't made for the radio—think BET Uncut material. Whether because of explicit lyrics or a raunchy video, some of the hottest, most addictive cuts are destined to remain underground classics. Case in point: Hurricane Chris' Headboard, a newly-released single on which the young spitter, down-South affiliate Plies, and "Comeback Artist of '09" candidate Mario let the ladies know exactly what's on their minds. Complete with an infectious beat by The Inkredibles this grown-and-sexy track would require a grip of censorship to win heavy radio rotation, but should sound right at home in the club, at the local strip joint, and in the bedroom. Sure to keep nightspots jumping and Headboards creaking across the nation, this freaky jam can be found on Chris' Unreleased LP, set for release in the third quarter of '09.
