thanks guys, its amazing how much reading this helps. i have a 'sounds of the womb' teddy bear which goes off on movement or her cry, but it only plays for five minutes, i might have to try getting a cd, definitely.

actually hollie has a lot of the reflux symptoms and the doctor has given us zantac syrup, so i might start her on that and see if it makes any difference.... she does seem to be in discomfort alot of the times she is waking from her nap shortly after going down, and i think she likes being with me as if she stirs i will rub her back or pat her etc, so maybe it takes her mind of any discomfort associated with the reflux, well that is my theory anyway.

how old can the baby go in a hammock for? hmmm im wondering if she would like one. i just bought a new baby sling off ebay so hopefully that will be of assistance next week.

amazingly she actually slept for about three hours yesterday in her baby swing, unbelievable, so out of the ordinary that i kept on checking to see if she was breathing, hahaha.
