    I tried her this morning Glam, she kept lolling on me or hubby but would then sit up and start to poke at us, or pull my hair whilst chatting very loudly, and then she started trying to shuffle off the end of the bed to go and play...

    I can't think of anything that you've probably not done already! Later to bed, less naps during the day, maybe getting up with her at 4.30am but ignoring her so she knows it's not playtime??

    I know you said she had 90mins this morning, tomorrow could you wake her after an hour so that she's not grumpy but not had too long?

    Jack has an hour at 9am, an hour at 12,30pm and then 20mins around 4.30pm. He's definitely sleeping better at night since he dropped the 2hr naps! :eek: I actually prefer Jack wakign at 4am for a bottle cos I know he'll go back off until around 7-8am but if he wakes at 6am for a bottle then he's up for the day!

    MFD your HTML is hanging out ;)

    I learned this morning that a friend of a friend from when I lived in Dublin not only lives here now but has a baby only a couple of months younger than Molly! So I'm off to meet her. See you later.

    What does everyone give their LO's for breakfast (or what did you give them when they were about Holly's age)? I am feeling guilty as she gets baby porridge or Weetabix most days which is totally boring,

    I used to alternate between Weetabix and porridge.

    Once she learned to speak, I started letting Charlotte pick what she wanted for breakfast. For the last year and a half or so, I think she's had Weetabix nearly every day, so it can't be that boring :rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....

    She doesn't usually sleep that long in the morning, it's usually 30mins... I suppose the extra hour was due to the early wake up... She usually sleeps 1-3 and that's it until bed time, but since she had a big morning nap she'll either not nap again, or have half an hour on the way back from school... I'd be loathe to drop the lengthy naps at the minute... I'll be appreciating them in a few months! :cool:

    Fitzio - Jack has toast when he gets to nursery then either Porridge or weetabix with a jar of C&B fruit in it cos he won't have it plain!

    Weekends he has Weetabix :o It's easier and I know how much he's getting

    finally made a GP appointment to get my nose sorted out! I have this weird thing where my nose tells me brain that it's blocked so I sniff, sniff, sniff all day long when I don't need to! Saw an ENT consultant about 10 years ago who said if steam didn't work I could have an op to sort it out, I'm fed up of people asking me if I have hayfever or a cold! :o I tend to just say Yes!
    I've tried anti-histamines, sinus tabs, steam, saline drops - I blow my nose and nothing comes yet yet 2 seconds later I sniff as if it's blocked! GP better take me seriously this time and not fob me off!

    It's come to a head because I have a video of Jack and all you can hear is my sniffing in the background! :o
