This morning I woke up and realised something was wrong. So I opened my eyes and I realised it was light outside. So I looked at my clock and it was 7.30am!!!!!!!! Maya always wakes at night so I freaked out and my DH and I raced to her room and there's the cheeky little girl smiling at us. I am so happy to have gotten 7 ish hours of sleep in a row!! I'm trying not to get my hopes up that this will be a regular thing cos I know at her age they aren't meant to sleep through the night yet. But gosh it would be nice if she did that regularly.

As for nappy rash - I do use sudocream but this time the rash just kept getting worse and worse. I bought some other cream, can't remember what off the top of my head, and that seems to be helping. csab - Thanks for the tip about Vaseline I might try that. The rash is still there but looking a lot better than it was. I wonder if part of the problem is that I used some Bepathanon when it was starting to get bad (I'd never tried it before and had a little sample tube) and I think she had an allergic reaction to it because suddenly the rash was HEAPS worse. I won't be using that cream again!

kuraiza - The woman I had over from Tweddle said until they are 6 months old you can't have a scheduled timetable of when they go to bed each night. She said you need to look at a day as 24 hours not night time and day time exactly (though of course there's a point at which you want them to sleep longer at night and less in the day). I know a lot of others here and at my mother's group have set bed times and I was trying to have one too, but I've given up on it for now and will readdress it in a months time when she's 6 months. Another thing she said is not to let Maya go more than 4 hours during the day without a feed. But she's not sleeping as long as Jude so I haven't come across a problem where I've had to wake her. Don't know if that is of any help to you...

As for mother's group why can't you just tell them your situation and ask if they are happy to move it to another day? We moved ours to a day when everyone was happy.
