    Sm, she's just a fountain of knowledge and having raised 4 kids she knows all the tricks!!! Apparently, I should be taking Liam out in the pram to get him some fresh air to make him sleep in the day. My issue with this: a) has she seen the rain? b) where exactly am I supposed to go (without spending money) c) Liam will happily go to sleep with a bit of effort from me.

    She asked me how he was tonight, I mentioned he was being a pain and not going off to sleep, sleeping for 30 mins and waking up screaming and then laughing at me when I went in. Apparently he is hugry, !!!!!!?? He had a bottle before he went to bed, as he always does, but no, he is hungry. This is despite me doing the same thing each night and him sleeping 11-13 for the past 6 weeks!!! She has an obsession with me weaning him. He shown no interest in food and he is perfectly content with just formula!

    Oops, Rant over!!

    Oh, that was just tonight episode. There is loads more....

    Thanks for the hugs, but I need something a bit more effective. Shotgun anyone? :rotfl:

    She'll learn eventually. I would imagine that when my sis had her first at 18 (17yrs ago) Sis would have been heavily influenced by Mum, but I'm not, and I think she feels a bit put out!
