hey the wind stuff's interesting. ella usually burps during feed. very predictable - 2 big burps (if not, she chucks later). but there'd be more wind anyhow, esp with solids.

yeah, you're giving me hope BekZ - just had 45 min of screaming for her to go to sleep. maybe overtired, maybe teeth - maybe the teething gel freaked her out, cos she wouldn't keep the dummy in ?, & tried to get Brauer's teething relief into her - took 3 goes cos she spat it out easier than panadol. sigh.

but if you've seen differences in a week, i'll stick to it. we have a good bedtime ritual - curtains closed, music, sleeping bag, cuddle. the prob was when she wouldn't go to sleep cos i'd stuffed up her feeds/up time etc. & then when we took her out of the wrap, cuddling worked better. & I like it. Esp if she's overtired. Also we've brought her into bed with us during the night some times or cuddled her, so she's had lots of mixed messages. I have no problems with doing any of things we've done, except they're not working any more. she doesn't even sleep in bed with us, so we have to do something.
She knows I'm there with her & I'll only let her go so long before I'll give her a bit more help (rock the cot). Karitane said the first coupla days'd be the worst, so if I can hang in there for a week or 2 should see a difference.

I know what you mean about being sad putting clothes away. ella - tiny doll - just into 00s now, so might need to get her some 0s for cool weather. only bought 0s for summer...

i can't begin to imagine how you do more than 1 child on no sleep; more than 1 child fullstop. don't see it happening here...

off to have a rest.
