Jacki - we shower with DD too, but generally only on the weekend when both of us are around so one can pass her in and take her out and dry her while the other finishes their own shower. It's much easier than running a bath every night but she can get very slippery! I have a bath seat for the bath which is fantastic, I don't need to support her at all, just sit next to her to make sure she doesn't slide out of it!

katkins - I do the same with DD and it works really well. That way I can still shop or whatever when I need to and not interrupt her sleeps, although I hate getting her in and out of the car when she is sleeping, but sometimes it has to be done! I hope you are all better now. It must be so hard to cope with 3 little kids when you are sick. I can barely manage one when we are both well!

prama & roya - thanks for the advice re feeding on the plane, hopefully I will manage it! I will bring a bottle of water too in case I need to try that. I am really looking forward to our trip but am quite scared of the flight - my girl can really scream when she wants to!

esme - have a great time!

Well, DD actually slept through til 3am this morning! That is quite an achievement for us. Of course as usual she didn't want to go back to sleep again after that and lay in her cot talking to herself for a while, but we eventually got her back to sleep so I am feeling a little more alive today!

Hi to everyone else,

Is anyone still wrapping bubs for both night and days sleeps ?
I am, DS seems to still love it. Sleeps so much better and the wrapping is a sleep cue.

Hi Jacki,

I still wrap DD but she has one arm out always the left one. I don't wrap her as tightly anymore so she usually gets her other arm out anyway. She sleeps in her sleeping bag and then has a muslin wrap over the top. I will stop wrapping soon its just a matter of doing it!lol

Have a good day

Sue

Sue - do you also put a blanket over DD or just the sleeping bag and wrap ?

[Sueby]

Hi Jacki,

I have the sleeping bag, then the wrap and then sheet and blanket. Her cot is made up like a bed so I just put her in her wrap under the sheet and blanket. It is so cold here at night and I try to avoid having the central heating on all night!

Both sleeps today she has gone to sleep dressed and then wrapped in muslim wrap with sheet and blanket. When I get her up she has both arms out so I think she is nearly ready to not be wrapped.

Hope this helps
Sue

Hi Everyone,

That fabulous face cream I was telling you about for dribble rash, teething rash can be bought from David Hoskings Pharmacy Essendon. I re-ordered some today for DD and they have a website -- if you Google Hoskings Pharmacy all the info should be there. It was $20 for a 100g jar ( including postage ) -- I bought the 200g jar last time and didn't make a dent and now it is out of date!! It is the lavendar face cream
BBL DD is awake
