Hi everyone!

Not much to report. I have decided i am going to persist with Lucas' lunchtime sleep and not worry about the others just get him up, I don't want to spend my whole day getting him back to sleep! I started yesterday (when he woke up after 45 min) with patting him and he cried for 7 min (that was all i could handle!) with no response and wouldn't take dummy so i picked him up and he went to sleep, put him down and he woke up but after a bit of a struggle he found his hand and went back to sleep for another hour. I must admit he was alot happier last night having the extra sleep.....i was in his room for half hour but hopefully it will get shorter as the days go on. I have this "contented little baby" book that says not to give your baby more than 3 hours sleep a day or it interferes with night time sleep...i am sure lots of other books disagree though! Gee i am rambling lately!

Mel - i hope things get better with Ben, sleep deprivation is torture! Do you put him in his cot awake?

Have a good day!
