    ll80- OMG I think I might have read your post about that the other day... terrible! Hopefully your DD waking up often will get rid og the in-laws quickly

    pixie-I think people who reccomend CIO should come and stay with us while our Bubs scream... Not a chance!

    I feel your pain too mate! DS is EXACTLY the same..argghh... In fact since birth (10 months now for both of us!) I havent had more then 4 hours straight sleep, and 4 hours would be only a handful of times

    C'mon babies..your mummies need sleep!

    ashamedly out of desperation I have tried to leave her cry a little when she stirs in the hopes she would go back to sleep no chance, she works herself up to be so hysterical, it's heartbreaking. So no CIO for us.

    She will not let me put her down today either! Clingy is an understatement lol. Little Koala! Thank god for carriers or my back would be screwed.

    Peach - yes that was my post! Countdown is on the first lot arrive this weekend!

    Lee - 4 hours is like a luxury! hehe So very sad!

    Pixie - I'm hoping its sometime between now and their 15th b'day!

    Oh hun I remember this time all to well wiht my ds!

    Stick it out and continue with your gentle parenting cause it will pay off! Ds was fed to sleep like your dd all the time unitll I fell pg then i gently weaned him and he went into a little bed next to ours and started sleeping through...this was at about 20 months i think..i have a thread somehwere about it!
    could you try putting her to bed earlier?????
    The sleep deprivation is the worst but she will eventually do it and you wont know yourself Sorry its not much help
