hi there,

Ali - I wish i had an answer for you, Lachlan is doing the same thing but, he will go to bed at about 1.30pm and sleep until about 3ish. then go to bed about 6.30 - 7pm and he too is up at about 1am for about an hour or so, just whinging, not screaming but very unsettled. Some things you could try: Is it cold in her room? perhaps put a little heater for the early hours of the morning. Have you tried music? this used to help with lachlan when he would wake up in the night he would still have the same music that he went to sleep with playing and he would go back on his own. Other than that, it might just be her getting used to her new routine. Maybe she isnt getting all the sleep she needs and she just needs to adjust to less sleep.
Good luck with it though, i completely understand your situation!!

Mel - Great news about the dairy, soon she will be eating heaps of it and you will have forgotten all the dramas!! What a cheeky monkey getting out of her growbag!! Lachlan has a sleeping bag too, im waiting for the day he figures out the zipper!!

Nickers - What a shame about the competition. Winning must be in the air (with my mars bar win and all!)
Good luck getting DH back into the domestic routine!!

Well, my 5 year old nephew is in hospital and has just been diagnosed with Diabetes type 1. He has to have 4 injections per day for the rest of his life. My sister is really upset and so is her DH. They have been in tears. On top of that he has to get blood from his fingers 4 times a day to test his blood/sugar levels. its horrible. he has little bandaids on all of his fingers and the doctors keep coming in and taking more. they are now taking blood from the part right next to the fingernail and its really hurting him. I hope he is ok. I know that alot of people live with this and after a couple of years it will just be a way of life for him but its just alot for a 5 year old to have to deal with and he is worried about being different to the other kids.
Im at work today, i have been looking forward to coming to work, its such a nice break!
Lachlan had another terrible night last night. up for a couple of hours from about 1am until about 3am. Oh i hope this ends soon!!
