Dave just told me there's no bread...

I'm stuck in tomorrow waiting for something to be delivered for him, and I have nothing to feed the children for lunch... Great!

He's putting on his shoes to go to the shop as we 'speak' then, Krystal, yes?

Hammy if you google map the journey from Pudsey to ST12 9HR (monkey world) see which of the cities I have to drive through to get there, choose which one is easiest for you, get there and I can pick you up on route (I can do your cupcakes too then if you like)

:j Thank you - I will play around tomorrow when I am slightly less tired (hopefully,,,)

Hammy - from 12pm onwards. Shoudl be there til around 3pm I would think.

Will need to break routine that day though and get J to have a nap before we leave as he's not had a morning nap for well over a week now.

There is a section on 'getting rid of bad habit's - there's one where baby keeps waking in the night for feeds and comfort and can't get off to sleep on his own. For the night time feeds, you make them wait until a set time before you offer breast or bottle, making it longer each time until eventually it's around 6am. Once you've dropped that then you work on dealing with the wake ups.
It goes along the same basis as what I am doing with J, so you have your bedtime routine, and put baby to bed awake. Each time they stand up, you lay them back down until they eventually fall asleep. When they wake in the night, you do the same thing. Don't speak to them and no eye contact. Just keep laying him down everytime he stands up, eventually he will get the message and go back to sleep.
She says to do this each time he wakes to teach him that it is sleep time and not play time.

I planned to just do the lay down but today J has found it a game and been laughing each time I lay him down so after 15 attempts, I left the room and let him cry for 5 mins. Then I came back in and started the lay down process again. It's supposed to get quicker as you go along but I've found today a bit harder. He's asleep now though. Here's hoping he will stay that way!!!

Thanks Glam, I will book a table tomorrow :j

I am a litle unsure as I don;t think his seperation anxiety is a bad habit - he is truly distressed to be away from me and I am reluctant to try something which could make it worse.... my head also says that he has had such a bad run with allergies/eczema/pox and now 3 teeth in 2 weeks that it is no wonder he wants what comforts him best - Mummy! I have weaned him down to 1 night time feed so he is not comfort feeding - I am most def confused.com

Hammy - there's a direct train to stoke from cheltenham where any of us drivers can pick you up from and it's only a ten minute drive to monkeyworld from there. it's only 1 hour 37 mins.

I can think of at least 4 of us who have said we can pick people up on the way. Once we know who needs lifts from stoke and what time their train is coming in we can match up who's times suit best iykwim lol

Thank you Gill, I will sort it out tommorow. Thank you all for thinking of me - much appreciated x

What do you have in the cupboard Krystal? Could you make some?

I saw a lovely recipe for naan yesterday which looked simple...perhaps something like that made into a wrap type sandwich?

Or savory pancakes?

Sadly the only shop round here open afer 7pm is the outdoor... And I don't think a 4 pack of tennants super and a large bag of dorritos is going to cut it...

Mfd, I just threw out all my yeast because it was out of dates... I could maybe do cheesey pancakes... We do have soup but I don't know what kind of reaction it will get without bread...

I might have to get all creative with the freezer contents...

*ahem* nobody else has got a clue what an outdoor is




The naan bread recipe I was talking about - no yeast needed

There's one on 'My baby won't let me put him down'

It says about picking up baby to calm him down but once he is calm but he back down again so that he knows you are there. If cries, pick him but put him down once he's calm. Keep doing this until he realises that you are still there but its OK for him to be on his own.

She goes on about the 3 day magic and that it takes about 3 days to change these things.

Maybe a combination of the 2 - or just holding his hand when he wakes in the night so he knows you are there but he also learns its sleep time and not bed time??

I'm no SuperNanny or Baby Whisperer so feel free to tell me to shut up
