Cool, now I'm not the new one too!

Welcome Christie and DS and Tashie and Tobi - more boys!!!

And hi Jayne, nice to meet you. Sounds like a terrible time; Claudia is lucky to have you; others would have lost it by now!! I hope things are on the up. BTW, I love the name Claudia; it was on my shortlist for Monkey.

I hope El and Jemima are both getting better. and glad to hear you are feeling better too, Catherine.

Liebling really IS a boy genius!! As I've mentioned before, physical development of bubs is my career and I've never heard of anything like it!!!!! aren't they just amazing creatures......

OMG Michelle, I can't believe Bella's naps!! I would give my right arm (well maybe not....) for Monkey to sleep better day and night....

She has just started to drop her 3rd daytime nap, which we don't manage every day but getting there.... Our routine is kind of like this now (on a 2 nap day)....

7ish wake, BF, b'fast
930ish nap (30-60 min)
11ish BF, lunch
130ish nap (30-60min, maybe 75 min if I'm reeeally lucky)
3ish BF
4ish we begin evening routine... dinner, play, bath then BF to settle
630ish hopefully in bed

Things can change after the 3pm feed if she gets exhausted and needs a 3rd nap.

Monkey is still often waking several times o/n; sometimes to feed, sometimes in pain (mix of teething and tummy pains depending on the night)..... it's not too bad though and occasionally she'll go 7hrs between feeds..... it's usually 5-51/2 hrs.

Gotta run, she's proving me a liar even as I write this.... she went down at 605pm and has just woken after an hr.... I think she thinks this is her 3rd nap..... bugger!

If anyone has any ideas on how I can improve this, I'm all ears.....
