Liz - feel free to crash the thread, it should help all of us

marcellus - Fred is still in the cot but I was thinking about moving her into a bed soon. I know when I lie down with her she does sleep well in my arms. So most nights she will stay in her cot all night, unless she has croup and she ends up sleeping in bed with me to help her settle through all the coughing. She even fed lying down next to me last night and we haven't done that for about 6 months. I have been sleeping on the floor next to her cot as she sleeps well with my hand to pinch or with it on her belly.

Tinsel - I might play peek-a-boo with her a bit more and see if that helps. That was a really good idea

Lumpy didn't learn to self settle until she was about 3 but I was hoping Fred would learn a bit earlier.
