Krystaltips

I find it doesn't matter how long the nap is as long as the mood that follows is nicer... Eg, caitlyn has been asleep on and off since 1ish aimee woke her once and then I needed to pop to the shop and she woke when I put her in the pram... And she was thoroughly miserable, crying every time the pram stopped and none stop when we got home... I've had to bring her back to bed for a nap... Yet sometimes she literally closes her eyes for 10mins and wakes up with beaming smiles!

next question!

who has baby in they're bedroom? i have no choice at the moment to have him in there anyway and the recommendation is 6 months. can't wait to move so he can have his own room.

does anyone else get a snotty baby at night? by early hours he snorting and snoring worse than my bf. ive tried elevating one end of the basket but it doesn't help much.

LO always woke up stuffy in the morning, but has grown out of it in the last month or so.

I have a baby in my bedroom, and usually in my bed! He does snore sometimes.

thats true krystaltips. just tomos likes being held constantly if he's awake and its always boiling in my flat anyway. he's a gd substitute for a hot water bottle but i don't need one.

he spends a lot of time in bed with me to. sleeps on my chest, sometimes its the only way i get a sleep in (well until 9 - i remember when sleep ins were til the afternoon.) i still have to stick the dummy in every 5 mins though so not really sleeping.

I have had all of my kids in their own room from very early...ds2 was the worst for snotty stuffed up breathing...he still is. dh suffers with sinusitis and I am pretty certain ds2 is also a sufferer...none of mine have been in my room past 2wks old;)

Child care questions...

Do most of you favour childminders over a nursey....also if I go and meet with some prospective carers, should I take the kids with me, or go on my own first and arrange a second visit with the kids?

I am probably going to keep coming on for reassurance now....I have only briefly used child care of any sort back when ds1 was a baby and it was only for 6mths...then after school club for ds1 and 2 last year but only two days a week......

i think ill sleep muchbetter when he's out. its one thing waking up when he cries but the noise he makes is ridiculous

As a nursery nurse, if I ever needed childcare, I'd use a childminder.

I think two visits is best, the first one you don't want to be distracted or attending to LO.

silly question. how do you find child minders? i can only find nurseries.
