    Only twinkle twinkle, I just stood outside and sang it while I oh-so-slowly closed the door. As I told you earlier this has been a battle for months now so any progress is progress!! I don't mind sitting outside his door for a bit, I can lurk on here on the landing, I can't in his room!!
    In truth I was only there for about 5 mins tonight.


    Any luck your end??

    i always forget twinkle twinkle :D

    i agree about the progress. i hold onto it for dear life.

    i took LO up early, around 7pm. i changed her and did the usual. i now lay her on the bed and give her her bottle as she goes off very easily like that. no stress. i know it's not some people's ideal but its is the one thing that is working for us.

    she usually wakes within the hour to half hour, but i can then just lay her back down, pat her and she'll go back off. she did that tonight, but then after that woke up four times in half an hour. she's hasn't woken since.

    test will be around 12.30am and then 4am, which seem to be her times at the minute.

    i'm keeping my fingers crossed. i am thinking night terrors or maybe overtired (which is why i took her up earlier tonight)

    The ebm is more quickly digested than the formula, always has been. He just needs more of it more often on EBM days. I've still been expressing, supply is fine, I've just been freezing it in small portions for his breakfast for a few days.

    I kind of meant that if he is happier on formula days then maybe formula may be a full-time option in the future...

    Although it isn't that long until he is 1 :T:T

    Oh yes, someone posted on HUKD that the next Asda Baby & Toddler event starts a week today (20th April). Don’t think anyone has mentioned it here yet.

    And I had a nosey on the Pregnancy thread there and see that Xmas is getting another girl as she wanted, and SuzyWuzy is pregnant again with number 6! Just in case anyone remembers her.
    And Kennyjosiah has had her baby and it made me laugh remembering Beenie getting freaked out when she said hello to them and they deleted their post and everyone thought she was going mad lol.

    I am not pregnant btw, was just checking on SJ as I didn’t think she had been on for a few days and she had last posted on the PG thread! Stalker like behaviour from me!
  • AF - whatever works has got to be the way forward!

    Twinkle twinkle is the only song that I sing in Benjamins room - over and over and over...I usually stop halfway through a verse just to amuse myself :rotfl::o


    Off to bed. Goodnight all. xx

    Hi Fitzio [wave]

    MFD you are right :D night night

    went to Morrisons last night and all the 4+ pampers that were on deal were sold out. i didnt want to try the size 5 as i have picked up huggies size 5 and they are quite a bit big yet around the legs (eek leakage)

    We have a very random choice of songs but it's the same every nite since she was very ickle and never any trouble at bedtime, I hear thunder x 2 then twinkle twinkle. Ask her what she is going to tell Katie and Snuggles (bears) about her day. Kiss her goodnight then off she goes to tell them about her days activities. She can worble at them for ages!!

    El was askin for num num nice before bed tonite but all she got was water, you feel so cruel not giving them food coz they don't understand why they shouldn't eat. So far so good altho just heard her coughin but she seems to have settled back down, fingers crossed x x

    *confused* Would you suggest a direct BFer stopped BFing after just a few fractious hours? He's been an absolute dream all day time, he just woke up hungry :cool: We'll stop when we're ready and in the meantime just feed more EBM as necessary.

    And on that note, I'm off to bed :( Night all xx

    Morning:)

    K woke at 6.30 (again) I shouldn't really complain, even though he has been poorly he has still slept all night and just got up earlier.

    He seems mostly better today, fingers crossed. Hope all the other poorly ones are feeling better xx
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.
