    Maybe it is worth a try, if you are getting desperate...which I'm sure you are if you are in work the next day too!! I doubt it would do her any harm.

    Where does she sleep at the mo, in your room/bed?

    she eats a lot in the day and i can honestly say i dont think its hunger but was hoping it would help make her sleep longer, she sleeps in her cot in my room but i pull her into bed beside me to feed. she hates being in with us though and once she is finished she wriggles and screams until i put her back in her bed lol! she also doesnt feed for long between 3am and getting up!

    Right guys - the diazepam conversation is seriously pushing the boundaries of medical advice... can you PM each other or use FB if you want to discuss that - I really don't want to have to start removing posts...

    :o Sorry

    Aah, to be honest if you don't think it is hunger then I doubt very much it will make any difference, sorry... But whatever it is, will still wake her:rolleyes: Maybe teething or maybe just wanting you/your company!

    please i need help to get this baby to sleep at night! i was thinking about giving her some cereal at 9 before i feed her and put her down but she is sleeping til 3 then up every hour having a little feed and then screaming til i put her in her own bed! shes driving me crazy!
    Hi i was just lurking but thought i'd lend some advice. With my DD she woke all the time for a feed or so i thought but really she was just in the habbit of waking for a feed, MIL kept advicing a dummy i was dead set against it but after she slept through the night i gave in. She only got it at night and not during the day.

    With DS it was hunger swear he would still raid the fridge now age 9 if i let him lol with him i stretched the time from breakfast to lunch so he got used to the hunger feeling but new it was coming eventually stretched out dinner time to and increased the pasta and potato etc that i gave him to keep him going. After a couple of weeks he sleept through. May not be for everyone but it helped him.HTH

    I love the old car getting started thing!! Sami, sorry your upset, but as people have said it does not make you any less of a woman. Most of us go through it at some point (except searching, she's our favourite little nympho:rotfl:), pregnant, just had a baby or never even seen a baby! Cuddling is just as good you know ;)

    My favourite stroller was one we had for DS2 it was a bruin Zoot and it lasted ages! Was £60 from toys r us. He eventually outgrew it and ripped the raincover in a temper but used it from about 10 months till 3 years when he started nursery. The winter london in argos is almost the exact same (and £60).

    I've not managed to BF in public, not even in the coffee shop where I could hide up the back or go through and sit in the staff area. I just managed to feed infront of my bro and sis in law and that was because she was starving (and this was at home) but my face was scarlet and I felt so uncomfortable! I take EBM or formula and I serisuly doubt it will change. The only folk I can BF infront of is DH, the kids and my two friends who have BF infront of me before.
