Had a better night last night, I wrapped her again, she was very happy to be wrapped, think she was missing it... but she did sleep more soundly, still had the 5am wakeup, I offered a sip of water which she took, and changed her nappy and rewrapped her and she went back to sleep until after 7am... so maybe she just need her thirst quenched and a dry bum?!?!? Still don't know why it is 5 am that she wants to wake, but hopefully she "gets out of the habit" soon

We have made our decison on the care, we are going with the CC at the moment unless a better FDC comes up, the choices there at the moment I am not happy with, especially considering when I was driving home from one I felt like I was going to throw up, that is not a good gut instict! So I am off the get the forms today, we are going to do it slowly, I will take N in on Monday for an hour or two just play and stay with her, prob will also go into the room this afternoon after mothers group if she isn't too tired, then Tuesday she will go for a few hours in the morning while I have meetings on, then similar Wednesday for when I have another meeting. If she is happy and relaxed we will leave her a bit longer. Gosh I think I am going to be bawling my eyes out on Tuesday!!

We got 1 IMAX, but we don't have it on much during the day

Also I am super excited today and was last night, I can't wait for 2 weeks time

MM you are sooo clever!!! Great photos

Thanks Pixie, did you see the hold the DH had to make to keep he head still

The background is good, but I had to get some help with the HTML code as it wouldn't do what I wanted it to!!

Ok must run, MG today and gotta make a snack to take. But woohoo I don't have to do dinner, DH said he is organising it -

MM -

Vic will love you for that! Congrats on the nappies too, they look awesome!

Kye's been waking up 2-3 times per night the past week so am looking to try different ways of getting him to fall asleep and sleep through.

The only thing he knows is having his bedtime bottle and falling asleep by the time he's finished it but he's waking up at 9:30pm and 2:30am most nights.

When he wakes up its usually a manic scream so I go in there and usually pick him up. I try to pat him back to sleep but that usually doesnt work so I get him out of bed and give him water and he usually goes back to sleep. But then a couple of hours later he wakes up again.

Suggestions on what anyone else does? He has started to self settle during the day; maybe I just have to be tougher at night LOL

**mountain mummy** · February 27th, 2009, 02:42 PM

Thanks Sasha!

Can't help you on the sleep thing, Veygas has started doing something very similar

He self settles for his morning and afternoon naps, and when I put him to bed at 6.30pm, but lately he has been waking up at around 11pm and 4.30pm (on average anyway - sometimes either time can be earlier or later!) I put it down to another growth spurt

cause it's not like he's cold (or hot) and we close his door, so it's not the cats ... and when I go in to him, he is usually ravenous!

ETA: I guess not Vic

And thank you!
