Oh Tan. You whinge away. Like Kelly said, its why we're here. I've had a few times like that where I start bawling the minute Izzy wakes up because I'm just too damn tired to drag my sorry a*se out of bed. Al may work, but so do you - full time mummy work is hard so don't feel guilty kicking him out of bed to settle Izzy for you. She's his princess too. As for your MHN, can you just swap to one of the others in the centre? I know they get assigned, but someone you like and trust is so important for this sort of stuff. Its nothing personal after all, just one of those strange character clash things.

And this is probably the wrong advice, but why don't you give yourself a day off. Don't fight Izzy at all today. Pack her up in the car and go for a wander around the shops, a park or something. If she nods off in her pram and gets a nap, great. If not, you get out and about and have a break from home and screaming baby. There's been a few times with my Izzy that I haven't even bothered with day sleeps because I know it will be a fight I'll lose. I wait until she gets tired and crabby playing, then I just cuddle her and she nods off on me for an hour or so. It may not be following "the rules", but who cares. A happy you and Izzy is far more important than following some supposedly magic schedule that books say we should do.

Good luck today - :hugs:

BBL after my scan to catch up with everyone else and let you know how it went . . .
