    Hi girls,

    Lilydust-i think with the sleeping u do wats best for u. we had dd1 in the crib next to our bed for 5 months until dp decided he had had enough of me telling him to be quiet when he came into the room in case he woke dd1 up lol. i then moved her out slowly for my sake, moving her away from the bed every night until she was in her room at the other end of the house LOL. dd2 will probably be the same story but this time i wont be telling dp to ssh cause dd1 makes enough noise for dd2 to withstand any noise

    I also found that cuddling them in bed after dp goes to work is a given it allows u to sleep if uv had a crap night and its excellent bonding time too. dp is doing that now so i can chat

    dd1 is starting to wake up more now, and im like "wat do i do with u now?" i cant leave her on the floor as dd1 likes to poke and explore her face, unless i put her inside the playpen (poor baby). but it funny how u forget things are with newborns when ur so used to a toddler.

    Better fly as i need a shower and the step kids r waking up and will need feeding.

    Happy warm weather Melbournians

    Kelly woo hoo on the sleep front that aweosme.

    LD with sleep (and everything else to do with parenting) just do what works for you and your family I say. DD is in a bassinet next to our bed but spends part of the night cosleeping, we usually both fall asleep during a feed lol.

    Mzy my DS likes to kiss DD and cuddle her if she cries lol, Im so worried he will try to pick her up if I am not there.

    Quiet day here today. BOth kids are in bed so I am off to mop the floors then have some lunch.
