rmac - Well done, stay strong, although I know it is hard....I am very much a CC'er. I have done it with all my 3, and will with the next one too, I bet none of them remember it:) I think I have gotten stricter with each subsequent baby though. Poor baby 4, doesn't know what it's getting into here;)

thanks ladies - MFD that's a good read. I'm going to stick with cc for at least 4 days to see how we get on, bt if no progress then we'll definitely try your ideas.

caz - thanks. I've managed to change her sheet without waking her and wipe up the floor too. Just all those fluffy toys to wash - oh great!

Shes responded well and the couple of books I've read on teh subject suggest her reaction and being sick are 'normal' - she does tend to do that to get her own way (already - I know it's awful!) so we'll persevere and see. I do know its not for everyone - as I said earlier this is last resort after 15 months of no sleep for me (look at my trying to justify my actions!) anyways. when your this tired you'll give most suggestions a go.

thanks for all your support - I'm off for a well earned bath myself. Thanks again xxxx

stupid question: can you catch chicken pox from shingles or is it one from one and the other from the other IYKWIM? My sister has phoned to say she thinks she has shingles and we were with her all yesterday morning.

Chicken pox from shingles:

The skin blisters that form in shingles are full of the chickenpox virus, which means a person with shingles is infectious. You can catch chickenpox from someone with shingles, if you've never had the infection and therefore aren't immune. But you can't catch shingles from someone with shingles (or someone with chickenpox).

R-mac - Katie was a similar age when I did CC with her. I personally wouldn't do it any younger.

MacSmiler, just be aware when drying the toys, my mother put all mine in together and then hung them on the line by their ears, but they were heavy and waterlogged and the ears all ripped off and were securely pegged to the line while my poor deaf animals lay sadly on the ground below.

Scarred for life. Leaving me to cry, however, made more of an impression on my mother than me. You're a lovely mummy doing a hard thing to make your child grow up independent and self-soothing.

Thanks for that susan, i wasnt sure how it worked lol! my older 2 have had chicken pox but not the younger 3.

rmac glad you managed to get it all sorted and still have a sleeping baby! i think they know the things to do to wind you up ie being sick! my mum told me i was a horror and would hold my breath until i passed out lol!
I CC all of mine and as Mel said the more you have the more strict you become as baby has to fit around your life not you around theirs, i must admit it is the best thing i have ever done. The only down side i have is that they will only sleep in their own beds? wont sleep in the buggy and rarely the car(small price to pay though!)

Well done on managing to clean up without waking A, rmac. That is quite a feat!

FBB- We have been swings like this at a play centre and they were ace. Today we were just at the park and it was the bog standard baby swings like this. H is really good at holding on- it's so cute!
