My 'baby' is now 7 1/2 years old however she was a difficult baby. She wouldn't settle by herself, had a lot of reflux and a little bit of colic.

At 6 months old I took her to 'sleep school' where they taught us how to settle here and gave us advise on routines. After 4 days there she was like a new child.

We remained pretty strict with her routine, which was also maintained at creche by the carers who were wonderful.

At 4 1/2 years, I could still get her to have a nap 3 times a week. She gave this up when she started 4 yo kinder, although I could still get her to have a nap on one day of the weekend.

I don't know how things will go with number 2 as we have the school routine of my DD to work around too. Hopeful this one wont be as vomity as DD and will settle and sleep better. [-o<

Cheers,

Rachel
