Sienna is facing forwards in her carseat. We had initially bought the Fisher Price baby capsule (that clicks in and out of the carseat base, and into the pram) and she grew out of that pretty quickly, so once we bought the standard carseat we put it forward straight away. I have heard that it is safer to have bub facing rearwards tho.
Sienna has recovered from her cold, although she still has a lingering cough. Other than that, she has been well. Still crawling backwards, but we have floorboards so there's not a lot of traction. We've just bought one of those big rubber matts to put down so hopefully that will help her get moving.
We actually had five blissful nights where Sienna slept through the whole night from 6ish to 6ish!! Woo hoo!! Unfortunately it was short-lived and we're back to the up-and-down nights. I've been desperately trying to think if I did anything different during those days....ahh who knows!! We're off to the cottage on Friday for some sleep tips so hopefully that will help. During her day sleeps, Sienna only sleeps for 40mins so she's just not re-settling after that first sleep cycle, so fingers crossed that help is on the way!!
Sienna is having three solid meals a day and three bottles. We've cut out the dream feed and the middle of the night feed and she seems to be coping fine. She's certainly not a skinny bubby!! Her food is still fairly pureed, but we're starting to introduce chunkier bits and pieces. She loves munging out on half a banana and chunks of bread.
I think that hubby and I will probably wait awhile before TTC #2. The lack of sleep with Sienna is killing me, and I need some restoration time before the next one!! We're thinking of trying when Sienna is 18m - 2 years old. There have been so many births at my work lately, so many gorgeous babies, so I am feeling very slightly clucky :-)
