Thanks Gilly Really hope it works - I could handle broken sleep when I was on maternity leave and could nap during the day, but working full time and functioning on 4-5 hours of sleep per night is starting to take its toll. I'm knackered

I'm impressed - I'm only just scraping through days at home with two children on four hours a night. (Although unfortunately I can't really blame the baby.)

Well we have just ordered baby's group 1 car seat *blub* can't believe how fast the last year has gone... On the plus side its a gorgeous seat (cosatto one in hello dolly pattern if anyone wants a peek) and was discussing her place at pre school from after Christmas, where has my baby gone I know she's growing up and she's turning into a toddler (a lovely one at that! ) but it's kind of bittersweet. Please tell me. It's not just me feeling that way!

And she had her unmentionable jabs today though she seems to be okay so far.

Hope you're all ok today ladies and I hope you all get sleep

Don't know whats wrong with these girls lately. They used to go between 6 and 10 hours a night easily and for the last few days they're going 3 if we are lucky . Then maybe another 2 for the rest of the night.

Mollie has started babbling and giggling for about an hour through the night every night, and Amelia just wakes up crying several times which she has never done before, which unfortunately wakes Mollie up

Don't understand it at all and I certainly don't like it :cool:

Hope everyone gets plenty of sleep. Me included

Were the girls early Cake? Development leaps tend to go on gestational age/due date, and there is a major sleep regression around 16-19 weeks x

Well after me being all fired up ready for perservering with no milk.....he slept 730-630! He will prob wait till I am at work before he makes a night of it.

Hope your sleep training was ok Nutella. Are you doing gradual retreat?

Cake - Yep! We are having the sleep regression Gilly talks of! Just when we were almost getting 5-6 hours we now get 3 then every 2 hour wake ups until 5am then refusal to go back to sleep. Should have ordered special delivery for the blackout blind! :rotfl:

Good luck at the docs marta Exciting for trying for number two for you too

Nutella - Good luck with the reducing feeds again. They are little creatures of habit aren't they...it doesn't take them long to form a habit but takes ages to break one!!

I am indeed doing gradual retreat this time round :cool: Not keen on controlled crying, as at the moment her big thing is wanting to be held and cuddled (largely my own fault for co-sleeping too often...), and this got worse after she was ill for a week and would only sleep if I held her. There's now a pattern: she's OK with me sitting next to her on the floor for a while (as in an hour or so) - I get the odd whinge, but not constant crying. Then, as she's almost falling asleep, stops standing up in the cot, barely opens her eyes anymore, her last ditch attempt at staying awake is crying. As in screaming uncontrollably. There were a couple of instances when I thought she was actually hungry, having been awake for so long in the middle of the night, but then she did the same thing at nap time the other day, when I knew for sure she wasn't hungry. So the trick now will be to sit it out when the screaming starts and hope that she soon learns that when it's 3am, we sleep. Fingers crossed.

Just ordered a LittleLife ladybird rucksack, so we're all set for her starting to walk independently It's this one, although I ordered it from Amazon to get free postage. Think I'll wrap it up for her birthday.

She went to the park yesterday with two other babies from the nursery and apparently loved it! They took them in a triple pushchair - pushing that up a hill sounds like hard work! :eek:
