Trish - How was Teyha today? I hope she does not miss Noah too much. I know how it is with Sara at home all day, she goes mental...and so do I if I don't get her out or socialising...hmmm what am I going to do tomorrow?

Liz - Thanks for that information. I do agree that feeding really has nothing to do with sleeping. That is why the health nurses encourage a sleep, feed and play routine. My doctor actually suggested I start to formula feeding to improve bubs colic and reflux episodes. I also agree that when you are tired and at the end of your tether a suggestion by a proffessional to swap to formula is very reassuring and tempting.

Nic - Loren does startle herself awake but she hates being swaddled to sleep. Maybe once she is asleep I could swaddle her so that her hands don't jump and wake her up. Loren used to love sleeping on her back but she hates it now.

AnnaT - Hugs to you too.

Alicia - I will read your story as soon as I get my sanity back.

This arvo I decided to "re-group" and try and get Loren to extend her sleep. When I noticed a tired signal I swaddled her and put her in the cot. I then let her cry for 2 minutes at a time. went in picked her up and put her down. this went on for 15 mins and she ended up having one hours sleep.

Then tonight she just would not go down in her cot because she was refluxing so we put her in the bouncer upright to sleep. She has settled there for one hour so far.

My question: Is it ok for bub to sleep in a bouncer? I feel bad having her on the floor and not in a bed.

What does everyone else do for settling bub? do you have a set routine or just go with the flow?

Sorry for all the questions but I just feel like I am fubbling atm.
