almost no crying here - he just chats away to himself, but by 4.30, his nappy is usually pretty wet, and when he cops sight of the bottle, he lets you know he wants it

sometimes we can get him back to sleep, often can't - as usually about an hour later there's this grunting sound coming through the monitor - and yep, 5 mins later, a decent poo filled nappy... noone in their right (straight) mind would want to go back to sleep with that

We've also had a change in daytime sleep patterns. First back to sleep is still 2.5hrs on the dot of waking (if we can guess when that actually might be) - but afternoon nap has been a real struggle. We were trying to do the 2.5hr trick again, but rarely worked

Now we just wait for the first glimmer of tiredness - and he starts his I wanna go to sleep noises/motions as soon as we lying him down to put him in his gro-bag/change his nappy - and off to ZZZzzzZZZzzz land within a few minutes


And we still have him in bed by 6.30 - he just starts zonking out about 6 - we now read him his books in his room, and do the last bottle in there too. Stops any distractions etc downstairs in the lounge


And also eating - he is getting really fussy now. Vegemite sandwiches and milk with sometimes puree/youghurt. Can almost forget about anything else - arggghhh. Any ideas on coping with fussy eaters ?
