Benicetomyself, oats are brilliant for milk supply, so porridge, but me, I'd just make a whole batch of ooey gooey flapjack and munch the lot

Motilium that you buy over the counter for other issues ha, is good for supply too but pricey but some GP's will prescribe it as domperidone for women with low supply x

Thank you We already get massive tantrums if she can see a dummy and isn't allowed to have it, so they're all hidden away. But every now and then I forget one somewhere (e.g. in the buggy) and she finds it and all hell breaks loose. I honestly can't imagine her ever sleeping without one I'm contemplating waiting until she's old enough to understand a bit more so we can talk about it - that's what my parents did with me. I also read about someone who cut off the tip of every dummy in the house so they 'didn't work anymore' and their child lost interest!

Sorry you've had a :eek: day (but yay for sleeping bags).

Exactly the same situation here. If he sees one, he wants it, and god forbid I say no!!

Not looking forward to getting rid, he only has it for sleep and car to and from nursery but he loves it and like you, I cant imagine him sleeping without!!!

I must say our sleep hasn't been as good since we removed it :eek: not terrible but he used to lay awake in the morning happy and he won't now, the minute he's awake he wants to be up

Miracle of miracles... a has just slept from 11.30-5.45! I feel weirdly proud (and doubt it will ever happen again!) just need to repeat yesterday nights screaming tonight to have the same again.

Be nice, I can vouch for porridge, I have it every day and I have TONNES of milk! X

congratulations lobey, you must feel great after that sleep
not sure I can bring myself to make the effort to cook porridge but maybe some oats so easy will do the trick x

Morning ladies,

Lo woke up at 12:40 and has been in bed ever since, I put him back in his crib when I've got up but I've heard him cry twice so I think oh will be mad for me moving him! Just looked online and apparently theres a 8/9/10 month sleep regression, I thought something must have been going on because he's all of a sudden become a horrible sleeper.

Reading your posts on weaning off the dummies worries me, another step of hardwork we'll have to do again at some point. I want it gone by 12 months but that really isn't far enough away!

Taking lo swimming for the first time on Sunday, oh doesn't want to come in which is fine but is he allowed to take pictures? We were talking about this last night and imagined you can't with the world we live in now, makes me sad because I wanted to capture the first time! Got some pics to print out today and worried because a couple of them have his bum on, don't want to be accused of anything..... But how weird is it that in worried and that's my child? Grr

What's everyone else up to this weekend?

Hi Mrs H

I think the policy on photos is usually that they aren't allowed (for sad but obvious reasons).. Having said that, I saw a member of staff take a photo of a baby for a mum at my swimming group the other day so I wouldn't say that you would never get one and it might be worth a try?

So what do you do when your 3 month old who's slept through the night for the past 6 weeks suddenly decides she wants to play at 2am? I was totally clueless. Fed & changed her though she hardly touched the bottle but then she wouldn't let me cuddle her in and had to be facing outwards on my hip (hardly encouraging sleep!)

2 hours later she fell back asleep and still woke up earlier than she normally does. Any tips? It was like she wanted to get up and start the day. I asked OH for help at one point and he was so mean it just made things worse

There is a horrendous 4 month sleep regression, but she is only 3 months.

It's one of those bloomin' annoying things, even at 22 months here, the minute he's in some sort of pattern or I can see the wood for the trees, he changes it, very helpful as you'd imagine.

There are a lot of changes around the 12 week mark, and generally the more they are learning through the day, the more sleep is disturbed at night, when they start to crawl and walk, the sleep goes haywire I found. There little brains can't shut down. xx
