Anyone watching 'my child won't sleep?' Once when DS1 was in hospital (UTI) a little girl was in for a range of tests, she only slept 2 hours a night. Mum was like a ghost.

DD has been an angel in terms of sleeping - 7.30pm - 8.30am! if she wakes once in the middle of the night im in shock and am shattered next day!!! (How am i gonna do night feeds!!?) :S lol.

She is 6, but has been like this since she was a baby, never really had naps through the day and stopped them altogether when she was about 18 months !!

I thought I had it bad with DS1's night terrors and DS2's night time vomiting bouts (touches wood cos he hasn't had a bout in months) and sore nights. :eek:

You get used to night feeds again pretty quick, especially if you get a good routine going early on (she says hoping this lil lady is as good as the boys were)

hmmm.... kinda all over. Had it a few days. Maybe I've just banged it and forgot. There's no mark. I thought maybe varacose veins? Will ask on Wed if it's still there. Not a common pregnancy thing then?

Sleeping in cetain positions puts a strain on a main vein, no idea if that has something to do with it.

Well Jas is in bed at the minute and she will sit and have a conversation with her teddy, sing a few songs, go to the toilet about 4 times and will eventually go to sleep around 11, and will then be up as bright as anything between 7 and 8am
She is a very hyper child, full of energy from the time she gets up till she finally dozes off !!

i was thinking about stopping katies naps; but i couldnt stop her. she just falls off her feet if she doesnt get a wee powernap!

I wouldnt try to stop them carla, She will do it herself soon enough
