krystal - yeah I do. OOh while your here, Ts new teeth (top 2 at front) are giving me real grief! She isn't biting but they rub when she feeds,any advice?

Would you be terribly disappointed if I said no? lol... Keep an eye on your positioning, make sure she's still getting a good mouthful in (they can get lazy as they get bigger) feed in different positions to save it getting sore in one place... But mostly, she's just getting used to them being there and probably having a sore mouth herself... Things do tend to just settle down again without you noticing...

Nutritionally speaking, she can probably get by without a night feed now... I stopped feeding Aimee at night at about 10 months and Caitlyn around 8 just because she was going through an every 2 hours phase and it was really taking it out of me.. I found with C, once I stopped feeding she settled back into sleeping longer... Aimee was a whole other matter... But she'd never slept longer than 2 hours in a row at that point lol...

Baby is sleeping... I have snuggled her on the sofa and covered her with my slanket... Hope she wakes in a better mood! I'm glad to be able to turn off cbeebies, and eat a cinamon whirl (continental breakfast!)

I have an in ear one that I've had since Aimee was a baby, there have been many times when I've been really glad I have it... Personally I think they're an essential, but there's probably others who have got by fine without one...

Me is one of them who got by without one and only really wished I had one once, but I really needed it that one time and all the shops were shut! Typical

Thanks Krystal, not dissapointed no. I suppose am just too much of a wuss to deny her feeds atm. Maybe when she is a tad older I'll give it ago. I think T is taking a good mouthfull she just has a tiny mouth and the two new teeth seem really big!

I found with me it was more a case of me offering than Benjamin wanting/needed IYSWIM. I used to just automatically stick him in my bed and feed him when he woke because I could do it practically without opening my eyes.

When I just didn't offer one night he wasn't bothered...he settled with just a cuddle...and then stopped waking for it. I did have to open my eyes though

Same happened when we stopped altogether, I just stopped offering and he never asked (and I had worked myself up into a mither about it LOL!)

They're much sharper when they're new so hopefully will get better. When Alice's teeth were new she accidentally cut me by scraping me with them as she stopped feeding.

What sort of thinker is your husband? Mine's very logical, so I find that explaining his ideas in terms of their consequences versus my ideas in terms of their much better consequences makes it easier for him to understand me. My minion needs an example or an analogy to get my point across, and so I explain things differently depending on what sort of thinker I'm talking to.

Mine is really infuriating when I do analogies because he either interrupts to say he knows what the analogy is (which he never does) or he starts telling me all the reasons why it won't work because it's not exactly the same.

:eek: I can't remember what happened feeding wise when Annabel got teeth - that makes me a wee bit sad But must also mean it wasn't very trumatic

Well done on your win r.mac.
