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,
