Charlie and good dont go in th same sentance PMSL!!! no he sleeps fine in it during the day and will go in it himself and theres no problems. Night time is a completely different matter he is up and down running wild playing and refuses to sleep until he is exhausted, then eventually lies down to sleep! im going to wire the bed to the mains!!!
i thought the clinging was an age thing its just driving me mad!

Aw bless him! When he is a nicely behaved adult you will look back and laugh at these times xx

Alll i have learnt is (and from MFD telling me on numerous occasions ) do what is best for you and your family.

I would ignore that MFD, she doesn't know what she is talking about

You know yourself that I did loads of things 'right' when Benjamin was little (and did loads of things wrong too LOL) but we still have problems on occasion (okay, maybe more than occasion)!!

i must confess with the early wakings i have been giving in of late and bringing her into bed with me. purely selfish reasons, she settles quicker and i love the cuddles and hubby isn't there so there's plenty of room xx

I've got a rug to get rid of. Its huge and plum coloured and cost us £200. I flucking hate it, always have. OH wanted it and it was on the floor for about a fortnight. Been in the attic ever since.

I'm sure yours is lovely tho and you won't hate in 2 days.......:p

Thats why I got one out MILs club book on super cheap sale at £40. It matches the sofa but really is only for a few months for Amber to roll about on. Dog is about to be hunted though :cool: Plus, my feets get cold on the floor and I hate slippers.

Sell it on ebay. Then use the monies to buy a PRAMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

I do this!
Jack had a bottle at 7am then went back to sleep in bed with me til 9.30am - there is no WAY he would have slept this long in his cot!

Did you notice?

MM & Tara - hope you are having a lovely night. Not jealous that Tara is meeting my lovely MM :kisses3:

Thanks AF.

Maybe that's just the way she is and nothing would make it any different. Some babies probably need less sleep than others, the same as adults - it's just unfortunate for you that she doesn't like all her sleep at one time!

Holly has not had a night feed since the first few weeks. She just slept through. At first I would feed her around midnight then put her down and wake her at around 6am as I was told newborns need fed every 3-4 hours and I was fed up lying awake waiting for her to wake up sot I would end up waking her so I could go to sleep! But then I stopped waking her and she would do 12-8. Now it's normally about 10-8. This is just the routine she has kind of created herself though. I think I want to try to putting her to bed a bit earlier and to make sure she can settle herself. She usually does this ok, but it's becoming less frequent so I should probably try to nip it in the bud early. Anyway, she was in bed at 9pm tonight so think I will try for that most nights. Hardly any napping during the day though!

we seem to have dropped one nap here too so it's one nap a day for us, which means i am starting to bath her around 7.30pm.

so difficult to know what to do isn't it when you have information coming from everywhere. i find it hard to concentrate at work sometimes as i am trying to think of ways of getting LO to eat/sleep

af, I bring Amber into bed with me most morings too about 6am. She usually then has another snooze till about 7.30 when we need to get up anyway. During the night if she does wake, unless she is proper crying, I ignore her. But she does have meerkat and usually you hear her eat-eat meerkat or talking to meerkat or blowing raspberries at meerkat and even one time meerkat must have said something bad cos he got slung out the crib (then she cried because she was sorry and wanted meekat back).

And yes, you do what is best for you and your family.
