Yay, that's great news.

Its such a relief when they're sleeping better isn't it? (Although I wish my bubba slept so long at night without waking...lol)

Well done!

Well done!

I'm still in shock with her sleeping to 7.30am!! - the first time she did it i freaked out cause i thought something had happened to her (her nursery is at the other end of the house from our bedroom) even tho we have the monitor i still thought something was wrong with her and i rushed down and there was still fast asleep (that was at 6.00am) - so im still getting used to the longer stretch and i hope she keeps it up, but i know that things can change so i am still cautiously optimistic

So pleased to read that things have improved for you. Thanks for letting us know. It is really nice to hear of success, so often we focus on the difficulties and forget to reflect on the wins!

May your successes continue and you continue to enjoy your DD more and more every day!

Thanks jackrose - yes i am enjoying DD so much now (not that i wasn't before) but it was difficult when i just couldnt settle her! - and yes you are so right about focusing on the difficulties that we forget about the wins

Aww good for you

Good to see someone catching up on some zzz's. hehe.

I haven't had a baby that's been too hard to settle, they've either fed to sleep or been rocked, or even self settled (for a little while anyway haha). I haven't felt the need to 'teach' them to self settle as it hasn't been an issue, we don't often battle the going off to sleep, so we just do whatever works at the time (altho I guess some people would think having to feed to sleep or rock them IS battling??).... we just have frequent wakings. But again, they settled quickly through the night, so I never really felt sleep deprivation. Only during teething etc when they actually wake up and cry

I hope she keeps up the long sleeps for you! I'd be in heaven I think if I could sleep for 7hrs straight! I'm probably not capable of it now LOL.
