OK everyone, sorry i have been so scarce. Things have just been crazy here lately. Sleep has been bad & Emma has been sick. I ahve read all the posts, just a bit slack with replies, so I will try to keep up from here on - I promise!
Well after our really bad sleeping issues, I have had to make some real changes today. I asked DH to get up to Emma at 3am last night (her first night back in her cot after 2 weeks in our bed). He was leaving her to cry, so I said we both need to agree on what to do & both do the same thing. He said he really isn't happy having her in our bed anymore. I'm OK with that, it really isn't my preference either, but it worked.....Anyway, we have talked about it & I called tresillian today. I feel that I need to put my foot down a bit now as she is wanting to be bf every couple of hours & I'm having trouble coping through the day as I am so tired. The lady was great actually. She said we can either go full on or have an easier transition. I said I don't want to jsut leave her. So she has given us a plan & said that there is no 'time' to do each thing, just as long as I am comfortable with. & if I can't cope with the crying, to pick her up & rock her to sleep. The main thing is not to bf her back to sleep. I am actaully feeling really good about it, but I bet I won't be tongiht!!! :eek: I know there are many different opinions about all of this, but for the first time, I feel that I am ready to make this change now & that Emma is ready too. I feel that I will be a better mother for it because I (hopefully) will get more sleep. Anyway, we will see how it goes. I know it will be really hard & that the next week could be hell, but we will see how it goes...
I went to paintball yesterday! - You should see my bruises!!! :eek: I look like I have been bashed!!
