I'm a bit puzzled as to why the group needs to be split. I would have expected that we'd be consulted about this. Surely 'too big' is only too big if we all think it is?

Fire my DS was a 20-minute napper for a long time. it used to irritate me when people would tell me to 'sleep when the baby sleeps'. What, for 20 minutes? I think you're doing well to get Ci to sleep in the cot, even if it's only half an hour. I've yet to have dd nap outside of the sling. Lucky she's such a little one or my back would be stuffed by now.

Nettie we're also into sucking hands over here. And of course clasping them - so sweet.

Shoegal happy birthday! Hope you have a wonderful time.

Well dd has hit the magical three month mark today. I expect great leaps forward in her sleeping and napping behaviour!! The last few nights have to go down as her worst ever. She's so congested and her coughing wakes her up. Ugh.
