Murph as long as she is happy and you are happy you are doing everything right. I have always said as a mum you should listen to advise and then do what fits you. Xavier has no daytime routine and is a really crappy daytime sleeper and always has been. So I gave up trying to force him into a three sleep a day routine and he sleeps when he wants to sleep. In saying this we do have a fairly strict night bedtime routine but this stems from Campbell. Bed is at 7pm when nieghbours finishes, teeth story and bed. Campbell has been in a bed since he was fifteen months old and he has never gotten out of his bed. Even if he is not tired at 7 he goes to bed and just chats to his friends (teddies). Xavier has fallen into this routine as well and he sleeps from 7 til 9.30 when I dream feed him and then he sleeps til about 6.30-7.

It is hard to have to watch you little ones go through these procedures, we have been there with Campbell, you just have to soldier on and not let it get on top of you they are more relisient then we think. Campbell has had 2 barrium swollows, try getting a brest feed baby to drink chalk through a bottle. The only good thing was he had to fast so he was extremely hungrey and took it.
