Smiles -the only way I can get Willow to sleep is on her belly with a small towel or cloth nappy folded under belly. I know this is against all the recommendations but if she is any other way she will only sleep for very short stints (maybe 20mins). She was also on Losec for a few weeks which did help but we were able to wean her off in the last week without too much trouble.
Melissa - hear you on the older sibling watching I leave the bouncer or the playmat in the portacot which I have set up in the loungeroom so that if I do turn my back then Charli can't get to Willow - turned around once (when she was on the playmat on the floor) and she also tried to pick her up (I was still in the room though). Was thinking of getting a big playpen off Ebay for later but thought I'd wait a bit to see how things go.
We had our biggest sleep through the night ever last night (touch wood) from 8.30pm til 6am) woo hoo!! I always thought it was a myth that babies this young slept through as it was at least 6 mths before we lost the 1am feed with DD1. Now I just have to get dd1 to stay in her own bed through the night - she usually comes in around 3-4am and from then I don't get back to sleep.
Getting late now so off to bed for me, take care.
