Bun - sorry to hear you are having such a crap time with DD sleeping. Its hard isn't it. But keep reminding yourself that it will pass and get better. One day at a time - that's how I am dealing with it. I have never had DS in bed. He is just too noisy. I am using a dummy for both his day and night sleeps. Usualy get atleast on sleep of 2 sleep cycles during the day. I have to get up at night and put his dummy back in. I was speaking to a MHCN about it and she said at 6ths start by putting the dummy in their hand and then to their mouth and hopefully by around 8 months they should be able to do it by themselves. (Obviously that means attaching it to their PJs or sleeping bag by a VERY short ribbon).

Jen - I have been thinking of getting DS a jolly jumper but didn't know what age they could be in them from. Think I will get one this weekend, they look like such fun.

Sue - DS is being better. I think he was going though a massive developmental spurt (I think one of the "wonder weeks"), awake for 2 hours between 1am and 3am, been grizzly etc etc. Seems to be a bit happier with himself now.

We had needles on Monday and I had a grumpy bub for the next 2 days. Almost back to himself except for the poos - OMG !!! Think I will get shares in napisan.
Took DS to be weighed at the child health centre this morning - 8.08kgs - what a little buddah !!

Hope everyone is well
