Thanks girls. She unfortunately plays up whether I'm here or not DH has gotten her to sleep when I'm not here but she won't take her milk no matter how much she wants it and pretty much passes out in his arms from crying so much It's awful!

Mum had her while we were at a wedding interstate mid November (mum went with us) and she played up at bedtime but most happy to stay up late just cruising around. She finally gave in to sleep around 11pm Crazy! We've given mum the ok to do the same again for this upcoming wedding but I know it'll be ordinary for all involved.

I'll ask mum and dad if they can watch the girls this weekend while DH and I go out for dinner locally. We can easily pop home if she's really miserable and it would be good to test her out before the wedding. Thanks for the tip.

I worry about her not taking her milk though too, especially as I know she wants it. When DH tries to settle her, she screams and arches and pushes her bottle away. He hands her to me and she settles immediately THEN snatches the bottle from DH and starts guzzling I'm being played I reckon!

Any other advice would be great but we'll certainly try a test run or two this weekend. I've got a girls night Friday week too so DH will be with her then. We are seeing DH's family (interstate) over Easter so we'll try leaving her with my SILs too.
