Babies Born October 16th ~ 31st 2009

Another good night for us! I was up every 3-4 hours for feeds but that doesn't bother me, so long as she settles soon after her feed I can handle it. What I can't handle is the hours and hours it was taking me to resettle her. Tummy sleeping really seems to be doing the job for us, Leila must find it so much more comfortable. I've noticed too that she is actually able to bring up wind in that position where as she can't bring it up when on her back so I'm guessing that helps a lot.

Stevie, we pronounce her name 'Layla'. It's funny because before she was born I was tossing up the spelling constantly - I kept saying to DH should we go with 'Layla' or 'Leila'. I really liked Leila but was worried people would not be sure how to pronouce it so almost went with Layla just so everybody would be clear on it. And I was right, so many people are not sure how to pronounce her name.... maybe we should of gone with Layla!!

Hope everyone had a good night

Bingo Fi! Its not so much the getting up and feeding, but rather the staying up afterward that kills you!! I'm so glad the tummy is working for you - I was a bit scared to share my 'secret' but after hearing all the sleep deprivation posts I couldn't help but suggest it. It always amuses me when we have had visits to the child health nurse and she is like - "wow - your baby is really strong on his tummy - that's great, you must be giving him adequate tummy time" Lol - I've never had the guts to say why that may be!

I would pronounce Leila as Layla, by the way - and I prefer the spelling that you chose. Leila is very pretty IMO!

Boomba honey OF COURSE YOU ARE WELCOME!! We've missed you!

Leila Hazel born 30th October

JB, I'm glad you like the name! Yet another good night for us - little girl just loves being on her tum! Funny because this morning when she woke at 6 I thought, maybe when I put her back down I'll try putting her on her back and she may be fine. I left DH to settle her while I tried to get some more sleep - an hour later DH brought in a screaming little baby who just wouldn't settle! A quick top up feed then down on her tummy and she's one happy girl, sleeping soundly
