    Bonus pack Sami? I'm on farmville but can't see it. Mystery box?
    doh I don't think I sent you one, didn't realise you played.
    I could only send it after LuT had sent me one and it said "send one to your friends"
    I'll make sure I send you things from now on :)

    I need a baby who sleeps!!!!!!!!!!!! She's had half an hour so far today and whe was up at 7am. Have tried everything. She did go down about an hour ago but SCS delivered our sofa 5 mins later and woke her up, and she's point blank refused since. I had loads to do today too & instead i've spent about 5 hrs trying and mostly failing to get her to sleep. Also she's still taking 2 hrs to go down at night & having rubbish nights, even with earlier bedtime. I'd estimate she has about 8 hrs a day now on average., which is not enough for a 15 week old. Dunno what else i can do tho????

    The only way my DD would ever nap was to bung her in the pram and wall round the block a million times til she went over.
    I know it sounds silly to say and not what you want to hear but more daytime naps are probably going to lead to earlier to bed/easier to sleep.
    Does she eat plenty? Is she too hungry to sleep?

    I know that but am sure a better night sleep would also lead to better day sleeps and i can't seem to get her doing either. Pretty sure she's not hungry cos i feed her like every hour or 2 in the day. Plus i know the easiest way to get her to sleep (when it works) is by letting her suck, so sometimes when i'm trying to get her to sleep she's eating every half hour or so, or is on there for like an hour at a time. So she's definitely having all i've got!! I'm seriously getting to end of my tether with it.

    Out for walks in pram does work after about an hour, but then only lasts while we're out walking, she wakes as soon as we get home. And as much as i like walking, 2 hours at any one time is about my limit so that only makes 1 hours nap. Plus if she falls asleep in the day it home, it's only on me and she then wakes if i put her down. Maximum i seem to get her to have that way is half an hour to an hour.

    Its now a full time job getting her to sleep each day so i don't get to do the things i enjoy with her or that she enjoys. She hardly gets chance to play or do anything that would encourage her to learn. And i get nothing done in the house (or anywhere else for that matter!) Am lucky if i get to put a load of washing in these days.

    I love my Zia too. I hadn't noticed the handles being big, but i've got big man hands anyway. :o

    question where do people buy there baby vests from? x

    I've just bought a plain white sleeveless pack of 7 for £6, from Matalan. I'll report back when they've been worn & washed.

    ETA: Matalan also seemed to have a lot of bigger girls clothes in, that Liv & me agreed on, which is very unusual!

    from reading the nhs info it seems likely that is where they caught it from, weather it's from the food or just general surfaces or another child we'll probably never know though. It did say adults are often immune hense adults being fine.

    Both times mine have had it, i've felt sick with a ball in my tummy and the watery mouth feeling, but not actually been sick?!?

    I was supposed to be going out with a RL friend tonight. She's just text me to say she's come home from work being sick. :( We visited her on Saturday. :o We passed it to her last time too.
    I hope her grandaughter doesn't get it too, she's only 6 weeks old, and we had a cuddle with her on Saturday.

    Sorry for rant. I just get so jealous when people say LO's are having a nap. Seriously can't remember last time Evie went 'down for a nap'. When she does these days its in her pram if i'm out with her, or in my arms at home, in which case i have to sit with her. :mad:
