Hi All,

Wow, so many posts!

Viv - with the sleep thing, I agree withthe other ladies who said go with what you feel is right for you. The one thing I'll say is that think about it though and ask yourself if what you do now will be OK in the future. If you can live with holding him to sleep then go for it. I said the same to my brother who was complaining he had a 3 year old still coming in to bed each night - either do the whole self settling thing or just let him in and don't complain, you can't tell him no one night and yes another. I think some of it is like you said, that "everyone" says you should not hold your baby to sleep or let them in bed PFFFTTT to them! Do what you want

I am lucky that Amara usually settles her self IF I pick the right time and don't let her get into state. I di hold her until she is calm and then put her down. If she cries I do it again, I don't believe in CC either. If she just won't settle I get her up and try on the next sleepy cycle (20-40 ins usually).

AF - no sign yet

Kim - Big girls bed huh cool, I remember Eliza getting hers it was alot easier than we thought it would be. WTG Chelsea

Amara has just realised I am the source of all things LOL! She has started making it very obvious she wants Mum and no-one else will do. Poor DH. Eliza was the same, looks like I have 2 mummy's girls.

Not looking forward to the 4 month vax.

Got myself a 2nd hand Phil and Teds pram - WOOT it is awesome . Hoping to walk some of this blubber off.

Also thinking of getting a baby swing as Amara is not happy at all in the rocker on the floor, and she has a habit of waking as soon as food is on the table.

Do any of you have one? If so do you use it/like it?? Any recommendations??

Night,
