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

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

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It was $20 for a 100g jar ( including postage ) -- I bought the 200g jar last time and didn't make a dent and now it is out of date!!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

Hi guys.
Jacki - I was wrapping DD then stopped and then just started again thinking that maybe she is getting cold at night and that is why she won't sleep. But then I phoned ngala (the sleep experts!) yest and they said not to, so now I am going to stop again!
ash - how are you going sweetie?
jen - I saw your video of Ameber in her JJ - so cute!!
esme - hope you are having a good time.
sueby & katkins - I have no idea how you guys cope! I find I am so busy and get nothing done with only one little one to look after! Good on you guys, you are doing a really good job.
Well, despite trying some rice cereal last night to see if that would help, DD is still not sleeping well. She loved the rice cereal and had a full feed afterwards before bed too, but still woke up at the usual midnight and then would not go back to sleep unless we let her sleep with us. I really don't want to start this habit, but there is no other way that we can get some sleep! DH doesn't seem to think it is a problem and any time I need a break and ask him to get up to her during the night and use expressed milk or to just give her to me to feed and then get her back to bed, he just lets her sleep on him and doesn't even try putting her down! I worry that we will never get over this.
I have phoned all the sleep helplines so many times and do everything they say, yet still, she won't sleep on her own at that time. Sometimes she will during the day and other times not and I have no idea what else to do. I am starting to get really depressed about it. I am always sleep deprived and feel like a really bad mother. I get impatient with her because I am trying so hard for no gain and I am so tired all the time and I just don't know what to do. It seems that every other baby is better by this age except her! It is really starting to get to me.
