    AF, you are a super Mum. I don't think the HV means it like that, it is just a case of babies being individuals and she doesn't want to give you irrelevant advice.

    ((hugs)) af you're not a failure but sometimes even i admit i need help .. i would offer you a cuppa but im out of milk :) x

    that's sweet of you searching, although i am more than happy to have a cuppa from you as i dont do milk :D

    i just feel that i haven't taught her to sleep and she's nearly 10 months and i know how much better she is after sleep.

    i do think she hates me at times. she was horrible with me yesterday and i think it's cause i didn't give in for 2 hours before i let her come into bed

    ETA: oh, just read you don't need milk. I can then offer some caramel wafers :p

    stay strong af .. sometimes you just gotta dig your heels in and let her be in a mood also you cant teach a baby to sleep you can put them to bed you can let them scream and shout and keep putting back to bed but if they wont sleep theres nothing you can do short of knocking them out :) x

    Im no use with kids not sleeping, Keira is still in my bed and has been for about a year....Ah well, she's cosy, who needs a hot water bottle. Wish I hadn't spend £150 on a bed for her, ho hum!

    I am shattered, anyone got any toothpicks to hold my peepers open? I didn't fall asleep until after 7!! OH got up for work at 6:10, so I got up and made him coffee haha.

    Ahhh flipping cat, if I see him climb my doors ONE MORE TIME, I'm going to knock his block out, Im not going to go paint my doors for him to put welts in.

    My curry smells lovely jubbly, and there is LOADS of it! My whole SC is full to the brim. Scoff scoff

    Buttons - did you follow a recipe or is it a bung it all in invention? Theres a mince/potato curry in an old weightwatchers cookbook i've got. Its nice, but not very spicy.

    AF - i'm sure your a wonderful mummy. HV probably wants to just see her in her natural environment iykwim? I used to think professionals coming to see DS were just being nosey boogers, but they wanted to see how he is in his comfy home environment.

    Searchie I'm off to Asda when V wakes up. Do you want me to grab you some milk?
