Never! Still wakes loads at 22 weeks *yawn*

Oh wow, you poor thing, she is nuts, that must be so miserable. Sounds like you're having such a hard time having to deal with her & with all the changes, OH being away & being pregnant! I don't have much advice, I'm not sure what you can do other than just treat her like someone who's ill &...

Hey, I don't have any advice but just want to say you're not alone. I don't feel I can rock Isaac anymore as it's doing my back in but he won't go to sleep any other way & so he's just not sleeping! It's driving me potty this week, he must be horrendously tired but he will not sleep & goes...

Hi, following on from my posts about my baby's dreadful sleep habits I was just wondering what other people's babies do when they are tired & how quickly you act on them/what you do when you spot them? Im watching Isaac like a hawk at the moment as want to make sure I'm putting him down at the...

I like the look of pocket nappies, what makes do people use & recommend?

No, you're not in the wrong at all. She's way too young, all she needs is milk at the moment. If she needs something for teething just give her one if those toys you put in the fridge or a cold flannel or something. It's totally your decision too, you're her mummy, stick to your guns!!

Lol!

Just had mine chopped, was really long but got knotty & once Isaac has sat in his bouncer while I get showered & dressed he runs out of patience when I start on my hair! It's now shoulder length with layers & a lot easier to manage. I have it down a bit more now as doesn't get quite as tangled...

I've been reading your thread, I'm a bit reluctant to spend anymore money on soothy things. I got the seahorse, no joy, got a winnie the poo light show, just wakes him up & gets him all excited! He squeals with excitement at his mobile when I turn it on! I have tried lullabies & white noise but...

Welcome! Cute kiddies! :)

Tor, I find your story encouraging as I know you've had a tough time with Tilly. It's amazing how well she is doing now though - well done! How did you change things? Id be interested to know exactly what you did. I do find it hard to tell when Isaac's tired as he doesn't show many signs, but he...

Thanks, yes I'm going to try to be consistent now & keep this going! He's been asleep in his cot for about 20mins now - this is good! I will try raising the mattress as he does get a bit of reflux that sometimes wakes him. He used to be swaddled but now hates it & he's starting to find his thumb...

Thanks & don't worry, that is how I took it, it's really encouraging to hear of people who have managed to help babies to settle as it seems impossible to me at the moment! I need all the advice I can get & will probably just combine it all somehow to suit us! We'll get there!

Oh dear, I seem to have started a crying debate! Sorry about that! It's good to hear everyone's opinions though & it's really helpful. Dont worry, no one's making me feel bad, im just finding it interesting to hear everyone's opinions & experiences. Im so torn between the 2 sides too & can...

Thank you people. I will put a top in the cot, good idea! Tonight Im just going to do what I can to get him to sleep as he's shattered & will try again tomorrow & see if it's any better. Pinky, I kind of agree with you, but this is what I mean about being confused & not knowing what to do for...
