make sure you pop back and let us know how you got on with the doc wont you???

thanks for the good luck wishes. i am going to need them. going to listen to what she says. just praying she doesn't insinuate that i've done a bad job, as even though i feel i have, i dont want a professional confirming it

If she as much as hints that you have done a bad job politely ask her to leave - or throw a big strop and kick her out!!!
She is not there to judge you, she is there to help. xx



3 - you have a PM xx

You have not done a bad job. You are a great mum and love your LO dearly will be obvious to the HV. She is coming to help, not to criticise. Please do not think this is your fault.


My DD never slept a full night til she was 2.5 yrs, she still doesn't sleep properly now. She is currently being assessed for dyspraxia which may well be the cause of her sleeping problems. Nothing I could have done for her as a baby would have helped if this is the cause.

Babies/ children/ adults everyone has different sleep patterns and 12hrs straight through for a baby is not the norm x

So wish I was like that. Though I know I will let her say what she wants to say and even if she says out right i've done a bad job, I wont say anything back and just burst into tears when she leaves.

I have heard of dyspraxia, although I do not know much about it. Is it due to her age that they are now looking at possible causes of her not sleeping?

Eek I wish I was as skinny as some of you. I did lose 7 stone a couple of years ago and then put it all back on. I lost 2 stone while pregnant and have put alot of that back on.

Daniel is off for a settling in session with the CM tomorrow, I don't like it as it means me going back to work is ever closer.

.

She has only been confirmed at the age of 13 as dyslexic. I and the HOY think there may be a crossover with dyspraxia as a lot of her behavior fits with it but she doesn't have the lack of fine motor skills that most people think of dyspraxia as being.
The not sleeping is not been actively looked into because there really is nothing they can do about it. She can still be awake at 3am and get up for school at 7, other days she can stay in bed til noon.
Her brain is just wired slighty differently to a normal persons. She can be really loud and can come over as rude to people that don't know her as she has a tendancy to butt in to conversations, I sometimes feel guilty for getting annoyed with her because shes not doing it deliberately but it can be frustrating!

Going back to work sucks! I'm so dreading May. My work were really bad when I was pregnant and I'm sure the Area Manager is out to get me I'm already really worried about going back and leaving baby. I'm not really away from him much and I don't think he'll like me being away.

Oooppss, sorry for being a bit selfish there!
Are you back PT or FT?

Anyone on tonight that has had an occupational therapy appointment?
We have ours tomorrow morning and the letter says
it will take 60mins and will involve observation of the child in play and interaction and discussions with the carers
What the hell can they observe a 6 month old for that will take an hour ???
