Trish - i thought the self-settling was going well, yesterday I put her down awake, and she stayed asleep for about 2 hours, which is a great day sleep for her, but then last night she wouldn't settle again, ended up falling asleep on the breast, so I'd put her down and she'd wake up again. I eventually put her over my shoulder and walked around a abit to settle her, and she flaked over my shoulder. Once she finally fell asleep around 11, she didn't wake up until 7.30! What a sleep in! We've had problems trying to settle her again this morning, maybe its the heat... its a stinker in Melbourne today

After her mega 2 hour sleep yesterday afternoon, we thought we'd try her on the EBM bottle again, and she scoffed it down using exactly the same bottle that we used in the unsuccessfull attempt - dont know what was different, maybe it was the temp of the milk?

Alz - what techniques do you use when Ethan won't settle?

Minimax - I dont think swim schools take bubs until they are 6 months old, but I'm not 100% sure on that one
