Hey everyone,

just a quick note to say that I *may* have found the problem with Milla's hideous sleep issues of late... Literally for the past two weeks she was waking up over 6 times a night and taking ages to resettle (sometimes over an hour)...She was screaming and really hating being in her room/bed. Well, I read a bit about food preservatives, and realised that her horrible sleep started when I started giving her custard, made from custard powder. Normally all she eats is super healthy, home made, no sugars and no colourings. Anyway. I cut the custard out (I was giving it to her to try fatten her up, she was only 8.1kg at 10 months). The next night she slept soooo much better. Last night she slept non-stop from 7pm til 4am, had a feed then slept til 7am. This is such a massively huge improvement I am sure its related to her not having the yellow custard powder and sugar running around in her... I'll see how we go. So far its three blissful nights after a few weeks of terror.

Does anyone else give their bubs any really sugary/coloured stuff, and have you noticed any crazy behaviour?

I'll keep you posted.
