Thanks dragonstorm!
Ahhhhh..... on the libido thing........well personally I feeling back to normal (desire wise!) at about 4 months post partum but my DH is a little out of the norm and has a lower sex drive than I do. Sounds strange and kind of frustrating for me. I certainly know how guys must feel. But you know I'd rather have a good relationship with him and dtd less than hassle him. I suppose I drop hints heaps without being pushy to see how he's feeling.
Persist..but persist quietly iykwim. Communication is the key (so corny I know but....). Let her know how you feel. Make a 'date' and schedule it in. Then she's got some lead up time to think about things. Sounds so ordinary but it works for us....sometimes.
Anyone else got any ideas?
Dreamfeeds worked for us. DD had real sleep issues between 6 and 8 months and we went to a sleep clinic it got so bad. Anyway the dreamfeed was awesome. Introduced it and ignored all the other whinges throughout the night. With a dreamfeed she slept 6.30pm to 10pm (feed) then till 6.30am. We gradually reduced the amount of milk and then totally eliminated it no water. She now sleeps 6.30 till 6.30 - no waking. It's so good but it took so much work to get there. She's been sick this last week and wakes occasionally. If she doesn't settle in 5 mins I offere water and check nappy, the straight back to bed. She's doing so well now and makes so much difference to get a whole nights sleep in.
