Oooh another longer night last night. Fed at 10, 4 and 7. That's def getting longer apart!

Do we think this could be the start of building up to sleep through?

Do you want the good news or the bad news?

Good news - hopefully!
Bad news - didn't work like this with my monster. Started feeding like you describe, hit four months and bang! Started waking every 90 minutes and still does (at almost 8 months).

I'm wearing really heavy duty eye-cream and reminding myself daily how much I desperately wanted a baby....

4 month sleep regression is the worst!

Particularly when it looks like lasting until they've left home

Still, let's look on the bright side... I can enjoy being with my baby all day. And all night too.

Let's hope so - in our case it wasn't I'm afraid. She dropped down to three feeds a night and it stayed like that for months, then it got worse and now at almost 10 months she's awake for at least two hours every night screaming, moving about in her cot and generally wanting to do anything but sleep. We might not have night feeds anymore, but I'd rather have those than what we've got at the moment But you might be one of the lucky ones - fingers crossed!

How is he getting on with the solids now?

Evening everyone. Cant believe I've managed to get on here twice in 1 week!

Dizzi :eek: at the scare, you were so lucky you've got obedient dogs

Fluff, I don't have that problem, each baby has her own b00b through the night :rotfl:. I was told to attach a hair slide to whichever bra strap I fed on last, so I suppose if you don't wear a bra in bed you could put it in your hair? Or wear a loose hairband on a wrist?

Missbunbury, we've been using our jumperoo for 4 weeks (girls are 17 weeks now), Amelia doesn't move a great deal, just sits there, but Mollie jumps around like crazy!

Toni, we did hand and footprints tonight, we got a baby ink pad from Amazon and was very easy to use. DH put their hand on the pad and slid it straight from the pad onto the paper. No mess whatsoever

Morocha, Ive heard of fennel tea for babys wind problems, do you find it helps a lot? Is it just standard fennel tea? Do you buy it as teabags?

Can I be added to the list please? Girls were born 1st Nov, thanks

Got our 3rd lot of jabs due this week, not looking forward to them. Girls are moving into their own bedroom tonight, they've been sleeping in their own cot for the last 2 week in our room and have done so well we think its time for them to move out! They have been doing 4 & 5 hours regularly with Amelia sometimes sleeping a bit longer and last night she slept for 10 whole hours :eek::T. I started to get worried when she was still asleep at 5am so had to get up and poke her to make sure she was ok :rotfl:

He loves you so much he just wants to see you all the time

At least you're being positive about it. I think the sooner you accept stuff the easier it becomes to deal with.

Just read back a few posts. 4month sleep regression?! Didn't know such a thing existed. Hoping like crazy we don't have that. Saying that, Mollie has been fighting sleep for the last few nights and crying cos she's so exhausted. Ends up eventually dropping off about 11pm, after trying since 7pm to get her to sleep. Hope this isn't the start

Forgot to say, I've been feeling so broody since the girls were born

I would absolutely love another baby or two but we definitely cant afford another round of IVF so unless a miracle happens we will just have the girls. Im 36 and DH is 50 so the miracle needs to happen really soon :cool:

Ooh, I thought he'd turned a corner! Yesterday he stuffed himself stupid. He had a bit of watermelon, some bread, a bit of tomato, four Organix carrot stix thingies and some roasted sweet potato.

Today.. turned his nose up at everything. Tit all the way
