...... hmmmm there's been a few times in the past few days where Oskar has said he wants to sleep in his "old bed". Tonight I really had to steer him to his room. We've put Elijah out of the hammock and into the cot cos we weren't sure if he was trying to roll a bit or move more in his sleep and that was what was waking him. We moved Oskar at a similar age too. Anyway, I had to really try to explain to him that Elijah now needed his old bed as he was too big for his little bed and that Oskar had the nice big new bed (he has one from Ikea which can be short or lengthened as he grows, we've got it short - so it's more like a wide cot really) just the same as the car seats - Elijah got the old one and Oskar the new. Then I turned on the Tad frog (which is Elijah's and told him Elijah was sharing it with him if he wanted it).... he rolled over and went to sleep. I don't have a problem if he wanted to go in the cot, I'd put Elijah in my bed and DH in the spare lol. Any thoughts? Would it be a bad idea to do that? I kinda thought that he'd probably either want the new bed after 10 mins or so or the next night if he did go to sleep. Andy thinks it'd be setting up something bad if we did, that he might regress with it. He only said it after he saw Elijah in it the other day and he was only laying there, not asleep anyway. Sorry, that turned out a bit longer than expected.
Bee, I can't remember how long for tears now. I do know they don't have tears for a little while though. Also, they can be blocked as they should technically have tears now. I think you can gently massage the inner corner area of the eye to help this?? Your GP should be able to help you. I don't think they worry about it as a potential problem just yet though.
Nell, Elijah gets the bottom half rolled so he's basically on his tummy but the shoulder doesn't follow lol. Sitting, he can do in the bumbo but I think he's still a little way off doing that on his own. Funny though cos Oskar was almost sitting now. He may have had more practice though cos I kinda have to save Elijah a lot from Oskar's "loving" lol so I have to pick him up possibly more at times.
