hi all

beatrix glad you're going well with solids. i'm one of the conservative ones with that - won't be starting til at least 6 months. not in any hurry to get on to it, plus i still need to lose some weight from breastfeeding!!

fire sounds like your plan of stretching between-feeds is a good one - i'm going to try to do much the same thing. but that said, last night dd stayed in her cot (and didn't feed) from 11-4.30. i've been putting her in there for the first part of the night til i get to bed. she woke up a few times but miraculously got herself back to sleep . this is unheard-of and i'm sure it was a complete fluke but still... of course i still woke up constantly and had to check she was ok. i know exactly what you mean about re-settling when you're exhausted - then the pressure to get back to sleep because oh god you'll be woken again shortly... hey, what sort of assignment are you working on?

well father's day today so i've (reluctantly, grudgingly) allowed dh to sleep in. then i'm going to make him a special brunch. i have a really sore neck and back and am not very well so this will be a major effort!

will do more personals next time - but in the meantime, hope you all have a good day.
