LeaLea - your bub may be having "night terrors". Mine does the same. We just comfort her (usually a breastfeed then back to bed).

If Georgia is becoming toilet aware, that's great. Lots of different things people do with that.
- if child can tell you when a poo is coming, have a potty nearby to put her on
- other people say to wait until summer
- some people buy baby legwarmers to make it warmer for baby to TT (toilet train) in winter
- some people say don't try until they keep waking up with a dry night nappy
- other people practise "elimination communication" from newborn stage onwards, so they have signals for when baby wants to go wee or poo.

In the last few days, bilby has been able to pat the front of her nappy very emphatically, once she HAS poo-ed. So maybe that's her first sign of toilet awareness. She doesn't have teh verbal skills to tell me what it is.

i'm been modelling the behaviour for her, leaving the loo door open and telling her what i'm doing. (the things we do heh? LOL this is short for laugh out loud). Myabe it's sinking in!

Yesterday when i collected her from CC (childcare), she was patting the front of her nappy and the workers said, no it can't be that, we just changed her. So i ignored her signal, went to feed her on their lounge, and POOO EEEE, yep, had to go change her. So i should listen to her more.

i'm so glad she's past the stage of wanting to put her fingers in the poo!

KIM - good luck with the single bed situation! THREE days now!!

AJP - hope you get some roid relief soon, ouch.

TARA - don't worry hon, after having a bub, not much is TMI (too much information) to me now! I found roids scarey, the having to push them back in part - eeek. I had them when i went into labour and for the first few weeks after the c-section. I wish i'd had the cloth post partnum pads for that time, the disposable pads irritated me.
