Mum of Lewis - I'm glad I'm not the only one having sleep issues. Good luck with the self settling. I tryed last night at bed time. Brianna went down into cot happy, really awake and wriggling as she was wrapped tightly. She gurgled for about 20mins, then zonk........10 HOURS SLEEP. maybe it was a fluke. Nurse said only to try the self settling thing in the mornings and before bed (the arvos when she is a little grumpy is pointless as everyone gets upset). Cradle cap - Brianna was starting to get a little when she was about 2 weeks old. I washed her hair once a day with baby shampoo, a vigerous (can't spell) towel dry then apply olive oil at end.

Debbie - What worries do you have about moving to a cot?

Charlyfrog - great to hear about the day sleeps!!!! Poos at 4 in the morning would be nightmarish. Lucky I get mine in the morning.
