Hey there!

Scone - hope Jensen continues to sleep better... it has been pretty cold lately, even for us Qlders! We put the heater on near Milla's room last night, but she still woke heaps.. For us its definitely teething. Her top left tooth is through, and the right one is pretty close too. She is so miserable Day sleeps are dreadful. I have just bought some SM-33 and Nurofen, so will give her some of that tonight. Even boobies didn't put her back to sleep last night, it was a shocker. I am sooooo tired, I think she was awake every hour.

Sara - Yay for Colby being so big and tall! LOL about your typo, I did think maybe she was destined to be a supermodel! Thanks for the fenugreek tip - I think it was me who mentioned it earlier. I got the tea, but that is pretty weak I guess, so I might try the tablets, but for now Milla is sucking all day and all night and I have no supply issues!

Becca - yep, I really want to try that "dont feed them at that time of night if they only feed for a few minutes" thing... I KNOW she isn't hungry most of the time, but she is so hard to re-settle lately, and with all this teething going on, I just cave in and pull out the boob! She just wont settle at all for patting, shshshing, rubbing belly/backs, none of it. She is such a sucky baby when she needs to sleep. Its going to be tough, but I know I have to do it eventually.

As for the dummy, well, we have regressed. She is using it all night again. It's too mean to take it away when she's teething, its one thing that does seem to calm her in bed. I read somewhere that to wean them off it you can snip the tip off the dummy, and then it doesn't give them as much sucking pleasure. Well, that really works! She totally spat the dummy, and didn't want it anymore. BUT, she cried and cried and cried and couldn't sleep after one hour of bbs, rocking, patting, shushing, all that. So, in the end I caved in and got out the spare dummy Maybe when the teeth are not causing too much grief we will give her back the snipped dummy. I guess I am totally confusing the poor child. I am torn between wanting to get rid of the dummy, and wanting to be a gentle and caring mummy....

I had to think of Jensen yesterday, as Milla started to crawl UP things... we have the baby bath on a stand still in the house (although hardly use it, she is in the big bath most nights now), but anyway, it has a bottom shelf that is about 20cm up off the floor. Its just thin vinyl pulled tightly around some metal bars, meant just for storing your towels I guess. I turned around and see her sitting up on it! She had climbed up on to it, and was just playing with the water bottle thing we used to fill the bath with ...

And with her waving, she waved at everyone in Coles yesterday, from the comfort of her new trolley-mate It was too cute.

Hi to everyone else, and hope you're all good!
Hope all is fine with you Neuri and Misty
