Liz- I can sympathise with you and the tough love thing, we are having to go through the same thing with Tori at the moment as well for bed time and waking in the night, and she is exactly the same even though DH is in with her she is still screaming for me. We have actualley started letting her cry a bit rather than consoling her the minute she starts, we just sit quietly in her room with her and have started to notice that her cries are much different to when she is really upset or hurt, these are more just noise. We have been rewarded though because she slept last night from 8:30- 7:30 this morning, when usually she is up between 5:30-6:30. I hope Tallon settles for you soon.

Mto2- I have heard the same thing about happy baby dummies, that most babies prefer them- that would be of course except my 2 who much prefer dummies that cost $8 for 2. Having said that though the ones we use have the sillicone teat and seem to last lots longer, I havent had one split or break in the whole time Tori has had them.

We had a slightly better afternoon here yesterday, I think partly because I decided not to get too stressed, stress is just making it worse. I also went out and bought baby swing which worked in getting off too sleep a couple of times that nothing else has worked. Liam has also gone back to feeding better so I feel better abot that too, not so ready to chuck it in now.

Anyway better get something productive done while he is sleeping, i hope everone is having a good weekend.
