She won't go to sleep.

Your friends have pretty boring fb updates

Except for me

Sue, I promise that I won't put a status update on my FB about my DS's sleep patterns. I also think they're BS. And I don't understand why it's considered a good thing to update your FB with your child's sleep patterns...is it a bragging thing? Cause that's just rude.

Hope you get some rest soon. My DS has a cold so we're not allowed to put him down on his own today...best get to bed myself.

Definately sounds like some teething is going on there. DS has been like this for the last week or so just not wanting to sleep no matter what you try. If it makes ya feel better DS is 11.5months and never slept though and generally wakes up at least 2-3 times a night

I hate those facebook status's as well!

mine too tonight... His first tooth broke through today so he is getting extra cuddles and love! Last night he was awake every hour thrashing around and crying and i couldn't work out what was wrong. Hope she settles soon and you can take a break for a bit.

The only reason i can think they are posting on FB is because its exceptional, every other night i bet there kids wake as frequently as ours, they just aren't telling everyone about it.

Thanks everyone. She settled at around 9.30pm but that was with an almighty crash...... poor wee sausage. I'd been trying to get her to go to sleep since 7pm - when she showed me that she was tired.

A friend has my NCSS book and I am just about to email her to ask for them back!

Has Moozle been taking in more solid foods lately? I wonder if maybe her tummy is getting used to all the new things and its upsetting her abit.

Sounds like you all needed a hug last night .

Perhaps she just needed comfort cause of teeth etc even though she was so tired? My DD is currently doing something similar in the middle of the night and I was stressing about it until I realised that she would get to sleep eventually and she would get enough sleep and it wouldn't hurt her really and the best thing is to give her cuddles and calm her as she needs it.
MS you are doing a fabulous job raising your beautiful daughter and I look to your parenting experiences quite a lot as a guide for my own as I think we have similar approaches.

Kate, she seems to be taking a wee bit more in. And I have noticed from her nappies that she is struggling to get a poo out. I wonder if she's a bit blocked up. She hasn't had a good poo for a few days and she's very windy - burps and pumps!

I just had another screaming match trying to get her down for her nap. Again, she's been showing me that she's tired for about an hour yet when it comes to settling down, she's all over the place. She is clearly exhausted but just won't give into it.

I've given her some nurofen for her ??teething. Not sure what to do for the potential pooing problem. Just keep feeding I guess. When she wakes I am going to put her in the sling. My nerves are a bit shattered today and I'm not feeling as patient as I usually am, I really hope she's not picking up those vibes

Thanks for your kind words Dusty

ETA Just also realised that she's 36 weeks this week and THAT my friends is a WONDER WEEK (week 37)!
