Baby sleeping help - at our wits end!

glamazon and angelfairy you definitely haven't hijacked, this is all about sharing and not just me! Glamazon sounds like it's going well with you, hope it's continuing. CG you're giving great encouragement to us all. I haven't been around cos I had a mad day yesterday and logging in at the weekends is always difficult to say the least. DD is still a problem but DS has had a few good nights now, it ay be that as he's moed up to the toddler room at nursery he's more tired. Anyhow as he's settling better I thin it's definitely time to bite the bullet and put DD up. Hope you're all having good weekends and getting more sleep :-))

OMG he slept last night :j:j

Went down no problems at 7.15pm, heard a few grumbles through the evening so just popped his lullabies on thru the monitor. Had a hairy moment at 10pm when he sounded like he was waking but I went in and he had turned himself 180degrees so I turned him round popped him back under the duvet and he slept til 3am. He only woke cos OH got up to use the loo BUT he went straight back to sleep after a little shush and his dummy! He slept til 6.30am when OH went out so came in my bed til 8am :j

The only things different were lots of fresh air (we were in the garden all day), pyjamas instead of sleepsuit (so he was more mobile) & the amber teething anklet!

Will be interesting to see if it was a fluke or a sign of things to come!:)

Hiya, back again! DD just had a huge meltdown so am losing the will to live at the moment! Well done glamazon, hope the good run is continuing....what is the anklet thing....I may try it if it works cos I'm sure teething is an issue. Hope you are all well

I've got blackout curtains in DGD's(13 months) room ,and she always has a weetabix and bottle before bed when she stays at mine, and usually sleeps from 8pm -6-7am.At home she doesn't seem to sleep as well, but imo as long as they're warm , tired and with full tums they have a better chance of sleeping through;)
I'm sharing a room with her on holiday, so will prob be eating my words when I get back:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

so so so pleased for you.

we are making some progress too. we are down to about 5oz of bottle and that is only somewhere from 4.30am to 6am which i dont mind.

getting a good block of sleep before midnight (LO that is) and then a waking but she goes straight back off.

had an hour stretch early hours on saturday when she wouldn't give in, but neither did i, and i won

so, pleased to be making progress and wondered how everyone else was doing.

glam where did you get your teething anklet from?

gizmomum

true jinky, my hold n that is tenuous enough already to say the least! I'm off to beat up some feathers!
Slow progress but each bad time makes me more determined...with of corse support from you all :-)
Catch you all agan tomorow
