Haha I just replied to another thread about this exact same thing where I said almost the same thing as Heaven!

I am only laughing because we seem to all have the same age baby - around 11 months - all going through teething, all won't self settle!

We put DD down tonight at 7.30pm after making sure she was tired, had a feed, had dinner, bath etc (not in that order) - listened to her cry for a while (yes we are seeing if she will CIO... but we do not do CC) then in goes DH to settle.

Almost as soon as she picked her up, she sighed and closed her eyes and went to sleep! Cheeky monkey - so ready for sleep but just wanted to be held!

But as I said to DH - the more pg I get, the less I will be able to hold her and the more it will fall to DH... he is a big strong guy but DD gets bigger and heavier every day...
