Fire: I learnt the hard was with DS#1 he was held/rocked to sleep until he was 7 months old. My back just couldn't take it. Started this time, and it's jsut not possible espcially with 2 other children to run after. DD who is 9 can do thing to keep herself happy. But DS well he'll follow's me everywhere saying "What you doing mummy" so poor wyatt can't sleep 'cos he's too much of sick beak and want to know what is happening.

* I don't let him work him self up, it's more of grizling then anything.

I guess its each to there own, we all find ways to deal with our own children. What works for one child is might not work for the next.

Cheers
Sarah
