Beatrix - The only thing i did diff was wrap her then feed her then put her in the cot. I think she had a empty tummy, or was just hungry. I dont think its a good thing to do, to feed her when she wakes, then 1.5 horus later before she goes to sleep, but it seems to be the ONLY thing that works..so i dont know..
High fire danger could possibly just mean it is a natural fibre, which is actually what I look for in clothing for us. Synthetics may not burn, but they melt, which is much worse!
Steph, I have the pattern here somewhere. I'll see if I can write the edging out or scan and upload it to my blog for a few days so you can copy it. I have to find it first, and that will be a small miracle in this place at the moment.
Meg hope the change in sleep pattern lasts and isn't caused by something else, or more that the unsettledness was caused by something and she is back to normal now. DD had a change in pattern for the worse and seemed to be related to her having sinus pains - doctor says she is fighting of the infection well herself so no need to give her anything, but the sleeps are like you are describing with your little one.
Belle I find that DH listens when I get snappy/bossy too. I got a special break last night, not only did DS sleep with DH, DD slept from 11.30pm to 5.30am with a poo then wanted to play, I waited until 6.45am then went and had a shower with DD gave her to DH at 7am and DS didn't wake until 7.45am. I feel like I got a good night's sleep. 8.15am and DD has gone back to sleep which means I won't be taking DS to daycare until late again today. He's happily watching Scooby Doo anyway.
Fire Do you know if there is any particular nutrient deficiency that would heighten panic or anxiety - triggered, not panic attacks. Just seems that the panic level is greater than they should be for the trigger. DH thinks that maybe I'm missing something as I can rationalise that I am overreacting after the initial panic.
Had an awful night with Baxter last night, one of the worst since he was a newborn! I really went off routine yesterday by going to town and meeting a friend for lunch, he had barely an afternoon nap at all and that sent things into a spin from 2.30am - 5.00am this morning!
Think today will be a pyjama day...
Otherwise, immunisations on Tuesday. Hoping he will sleep like last time so I can do footy club books, (I'm the treasuer).
Have a friend coming for coffee this arvo so need to clean the house a little.
Well Liam was a little trooper again last night - self settling. But he woke up 3 times crying and needed the dummy put in to get back to sleep (and we think his hands were cold because he'd gotten them out of the wrap, so we re-wrapped him). Then he slept through until 6.30 am this morning!!!! He's never done that before either so there's firsts all round this week.
I think I'll take some new pics today because he's looking different to me like he's grown up a lot this last week. I'm wondering now if it was a wonder week for him as he's doing a few new things like growling and a couple of times he's chuckled - but I can't get him to repeat it unfortunately.
Nothing else to report. I hope everyone else is doing well
AAAH Isabell was up from 6am!! And i feel sick, got a sore throat, think im getting a cold, got a massive headache, feel spew sick, just wanna sleep!! She has had one 2 hour sleep so far, and i slept for that time, but i still feel absolutely horrible

Sorry to hear that Meg, but it might explain Isabell's change to routine - she might have the same feelings.
I'm getting good daytime sleeps at the moment, but I know it is because Greer is sick, sleeping it off so to speak. Means I get time to clean and about to put her down again now - hope she stays asleep so I can give DS some attention.
i think we may be going through a growth spurt here with Isabelle. she has been really cranky for the last two days but luckily still sleeping her 12 hours at night. i had been considering the move to her room this week, but i thinki might wait until this growth spurt is over and she's had her 4 month vacs.
It's been pretty quiet in here, hope that everyone is doing ok.
Grubi, I haven't much time (just came to read) but I can give a quick tip to try. For a deeper explanation, look at the video on my blog about breathing in the asthma sections. The simple version is, if you overbreathe, lack of carbon dioxide stops oxygen getting into the cells (eg, the brain). It seems converse to what you'd expect to happen from overbreathing, but CO2 is needed to transport the oxygen. This sets up a cycle where all kinds of crises happen in the body. And a panic attack causes over breathing almost as bad as asthma does - that panting, big breath, shock type breathing. To avert an attack almost immediately, hold your breath. Sounds too simple, but as the CO2 builds back up in your system, your body and mind will start to relax. Cut off the loop by cutting down the breath. Then "mouse breathe" this is what we describe to children to make it fun, but it's just breathing so small that you can barely feel it when holding a finger in front of your nose (btw, NEVER mouth breathe!!!). It will feel uncomfortable, like your dying to take a deep breath or that your starving of air. Ignore it, and soldier on. Stay uncomfortably needing air for a good five minutes, then resume regular (gentle nose) breathing. Don't deprive yourself to gasping stages, that's counter productive. But do starve of air a little.
My brother, an addict and panic attack extraordinaire in his hey day, can avert a panic attack with breath alone now.
