morning girls,

Danni, sorry about the job, but as Prama says, maybe it was fo a reason, there will be something better around the corner.

Shell - i cant believe that its 6 mths already and you are going back to work! Great that everyone commented on your figure - i guess its all those kms that you have been walking

Skye, glad the washing machine is not answering you back how are things on the home front? any improvements? I hope things are settling for you

Prama - how cute that he is saying amma! Mj lifts her bum too and has been moving around a bit more, she still does the lazy susan thing and spins around to get what she wants ha ha.
DSS had eczema when he was little and we couldnt give him tomatoes oranges or pineapple as it would make him worse, it seemed the more acidic the food, the worse he would be... he is fine now thou.
RE the controlled crying, how did it go? I dont want to tell you what to do, but there are other options than to just let your bubba cry it out, Paeds do know a lot, but rarely do they have to put things like that in to practice and do not always stay up do date with the latest information - i would also speak to your child health nurse as they are continually attending conferences and staying up with best practice...
i know that Mum used it with us and we are ok, but after reading up a bit on it, i am not so comfortable with it and will try other options. I was reading on here the other day that there was a girl with an 8 mth old and he still wakes every 2-4hrs over night, this is normal, sleeping through is not something that many babys will achieve until 2 yrs old. there is so much pressure to have a baby that sleeps through, that the women with bubs that dont, feel like there is something wrong, when in actual fact it is normal for them to wake.
A friend of mine was up no less than 4 times overnight with her second until he hit 2 years... controlled crying didnt work for them, her baby would wake the whole house crying hysterically until he wore himself out from crying and feel asleep - poor little mite thought that his Mummy was not there or didnt care to come in... i dont know, i just dont want to head down that track, i would rather be a bit more sleep deprived but have a baby that knows im there and will give her an extra feed if she needs it... sorry, didnt think i would write that much, just my opinion thou.

Trina - how are the girls? how are you? hope things are OK

Bron - hows the treatment going :hugs: hope you are starting to feel a bit better - take care of yourself, have a whinge on here and let us know how ou are going... im thinking of you

Oh and Trina - not so much a good wife for getting up, it just makes my life easier and DH less grumpier so just sensible
