    Hugs to Charlie and Ed!

    Glam - no advice bout the sleeping but thats why C is back in our room. She still wakes a lot in the night but it is just easier for me to get her back off with least dispruption to us all. I'm just waiting for the day she just sleeps for more than 2 hours without any help from me - then I will rejoice (and it will be a one off :rotfl:). Hugs to ya and let us know what is said xxx

    Thanks you everyone else for the hugs - not had them/needed them before and it does make you feel better that others are thinking of ya :D xxx

    ETA FattyBB, another one here still night nursing at nearly 7 months (about 5 times a night!) - tis very normal xxx

    Mel, that is lovely!

    Caz, popped on to check of Cheeky Charlie. Glad you're off to hospital, wish you didn't have to, but glad because he will get some IV fluids which will help him get better. Give him a hug and a kiss from me xx

    I'm off to bed. DS1 was fine during the day but got worse again about dinner time and has been D&V again. My head hurts and I'm dizzy again.

    Hugs Glam. No advice because V is still in with us, but your new meal times sound more like ours. After tea at 5 5-30 ish, she's shattered and ready for bottle and bed by half 7.

    Caz - Hope they get Charlie on the mend and feeling a bit better.

    Glam and Jam - Sorry to hear about ur sleep probs too. Feel a bit of a numpty now for moaning about t waking and feeding during the night.

    GISI - Just seen ur signature, Tobys weight seems to be following the same sorta line as Henry!! I havent had Toby weighed for almost 2 weeks now but he was 17lb 2oz on 1st April, they must be v similar!! Thanks for your help backalong about the bedtime routines btw, it helped lots and you prob saw that he now goes down around 8ish (although I might try a lil earlier again as he gets very moany for the last hour or so before he goes to bed).

    Well I am off to bed now, heres hoping for brill nites for us all!! xx

    I can't be doing with dismantling the cot again - he has slept through before and he will again! I am adamant! In fact I wouldn't mind if he woke up and just wanted his dummy once but its staying up for ages trying to get him back to sleep thats driving me mad!

    You would have laughed yesterday - he fell asleep in the car 2 mins before I got to ASDA. He slept through me - getting him out the car seat, walking round ASDA, packing shopping, putting him back in the car seat and strapping him in! He didn't even stir but can he sleep in a nice comfy cot? NO!!!!

    3 - I'm hoping it will work this way. He fell asleep after his 3pm bottle for over an hour and then at 6.50pm he was shattered so I popped him down for a nap. He woke up at 7.30pm but 20minutes later wanted his bed!

    Where does the time go? :think:

    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.
