Celsie - was having a think re: your DH settling your little one...............when we put DD down for a nap, in the beginning, I'd only let her cry so long before I'd go in, do all checks, have a quick cuddle and then I'd put her straight back down. She'd cry some more but over time, now we put her down and she may or may not cry at all. If she does, it's only for a couple of minutes. (but she can hit the roof but as quickly as she gets there, she comes down again )

I was wondering whether it'd be worth doing a similar thing with Caeleb when he is going nuts when your DH is trying to settle him. For example, after 10mins (or less or more, whatever you are comfy with) go in, give Caeleb a quick snuggle and then when he's calmed, give him back to your DH awake. He might cry more and you may have to go back multiple times in the beginning, but maybe it might show Caeleb that 1) mummy hasn't left forever! She does come back! and 2) Daddy is actually lovely to be with, and he really is fab at bedtime too! Maybe over time, all you might have to do is give a quick kiss and not take him from your DH......I guess it's kinda like weaning him from needing you to do everything.

I have NO IDEA if this would work or not but was just about to fall asleep last night and suddenly the thought popped into my head out of nowhere! so thought I'd share anyways!

Hope everyone is doing well though. Have a few concerns re: DD#2 atm, poos keep changing colour, just not to the yellow its supposed to be - might have the odd right coloured one and she has also decided to halve her feeding time and gag when I try and re-latch her. I guess she could be getting enough but from 25-30minute feeds to 15-20 all of sudden just feels weird. Having a check up on Friday so will see what the child and youth health lady has to say.

Take care! Mwa!!
