csab -Sorry to hear that V needs an op. But her growth is good.
belfie - Oh that massage sounds nice.
Georgi - What routine were you following? I've decided that I like to have a bit of a routine but I find it so hard to stick to any sort of routine as soon as I leave the house! Plus I find that a strict routine just doesn't work for me. Like now I am not supposed to feed her before 3 hours since the previous feed and I'm not supposed to feed her if she hasn't just woken from a sleep. But she keeps only managing to stay up about an hour or less even. Then she does an hour or hour and half nap. So sometimes that's 2 hours since the last feed but I can't resettle or feed her and I'm at a loss as to what to do. The nurse is going to call tomorrow so I'm writing a big long list of questions to ask her!
katones - Yay on Jack's good sleep.
So a woman from Tweddle came over yesterday. It was great having that extra support. I had tried some of the things she wants me to put in place, but I always gave up on them cos I never knew if I was doing the right thing or not. Now I have the confidence to keep going. I have no idea if it'll work or not for me. But something had to change and I think this is definitely worth a try. So far it seems to take less time to settle her down for a sleep which is good! But not everything is working at the moment or sometimes it takes a lot of resettling to get her to sleep or to go back to sleep. I just hope she'll be able to self settle at some point!
Anyway, I'm feeling more positive at the moment. And one of the good things is that my DH can again help to settle her. For a while now my DH couldn't put her to bed because she'd scream the house down and not stop screaming if he tried. So for me even that's a huge plus that he can help me with it again!
And I'm still down on all the sleep school waiting lists - so at least I know if this doesn't work out for me on my own I have those (when they are available!) as backup!
ETA - I forgot to mention that we also moved Maya to her own room and into her cot yesterday. She wasn't going to fit in her bassinet much longer and the woman from Tweddle thought it would be a good time to move her and start the new routine at the same time. I really missed Maya last night though. I love hearing her little noises and knowing everything is OK. Our room felt so empty last night.I keep thinking if I'm missing her this much and she's just in another room, imagine what I'll be like when she stays at someone else's house for the first time.
