HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBEY!!

Trish - sorry to hear its been such a crap year! it certainly has been a big one for alot of us.
Heres to a great 2009 hey!!!

Nic - yay she slept for you. I dont know how ppl do CC, i just couldnt handle it at all. Hope it works for you! :hugs:

Ash isnt a big eater if i give him food to eat himself, eg. sandwich, pieces of meat, toast etc he'll nibble and give most of it to the dog. But if i feed him a jar of food or weetbix, he'll woof the whole thing. he has always been above 100percentile, but like everyone else, only put on a few grams in the last couple months! I think i dont have much to worry about tho. hes not fat and is very tall.

Im going to try to get Ash into see a paedatrician asap, im really not happy about his tummy, the last 3 nights hes been in soooo much pain!

Lauren: I just hate hearing her cry.. It either upsets me or irratates me.. This morning I put her to bed and she whined for a while.. I went and made a coffee and her breakfast and went to get her back up and she was asleep and she slept for 2 hours..

Simon wants to do the CC where I am not sure it is the right way to go ..

Anyways What are you guys getting yiur little ones for Xmas? eas for me to think about it as I have past the birthday stage already

Olivia is going to get a Tonka truck and prob a musical toy. She fell in love with the fisher price aquarium thing yesterday.. Was pressing the button to turn it on and resting her head against it.. Oh and she had her first shop Tantrum.. Was so funny.. We already have a FP aquarium thing for the cot but Simon wants to get her the one she was plaing with LOL.. Dads!!

Happy 1st Birthday Abbey!

Hi all,

Happy Birthday Abbey!!!

Nic- Big for you. We've tried the cc on and off here- mostly when I get really desperate and dh and I are fighting because we're just so tired. I always end up giving in- we do it for a few days and quit. I don't mind leaving him if I've had enough and he's just grumbling... but in the middle of the night he used to get himself into such a hysterical sobbing state. I decided that couldn't be good for him or for me- broke my heart. But like I said, I will leave him sometimes if he is having a whinge. Sometimes it actually seems harder for him to got o sleep if I'm in the room- he'll cry for ages then as soon as I leave he's asleep in two minutes. I know how hard it is and how the srying just drives you batty after a while- especially when it's because they are very tired but just will not SLEEP!!!!!! So another big I was told by Karitane that at this age, if you are consistent with it it will start to work within about three days. They also said if it doesn't have any improvement within a week then it probably will not work and it's not worth doing it long time.
That being said, a friend of mine who used to be a BB member but hasn't been online in a long time has had fantastic success with cc and taking her bubs dummy away. Baby now sleeps through the night- 12 hours at a time- and has two big day naps, and puts herself to sleep. But it was a long hard haul for all of them and not something I think I'm personally prepared to do.

Ahhh.. that's my little bit of philophising for the morning. Hope you're all having a fabulous day
