Hi all,

A big happy Birthday to Max for yesterday, I am so sorry I missed it! :-)

I hope everyone is well.
We had another bad night last night... I was up and down like a yoyo . I really do think its Tiera's teeth coming through cuz she also has nappy rash and has had a few runny poos lately which is all things she went through with the first two. I wish they would just come through and it get all over and done with. I hate seeing Tiera likes this, its breaks my heart!

Tough love - Now i know this was last weeks topic, but I haven't yet put my two bobs worth in! hehehe When Tiera was 5 mths I started having a lot of trouble breasting feeding 9 i was so much pain and got Mastitus several times, at the same times Tiera really started fighting with me when it came to sleep time. I had always pat her to sleep but it got to the stage where that was hopeless and the only thing I could do was put her to sleep on the boob (which was stupidly painful). So much of my time was spent trying to get her to sleep, then keep her to sleep while I got up, then I'd be checking on her all the time to make sure she didn't wake up and roll off the bed. I was depressed, felt I was failing in every way poosible when it came to being a mum. Was getting so depressed I had no choice but to seek help.... Talked to my mum, the comm nurse and a tricillian nurse. They all told me I had to let her cry and she'd learn to put herself to sleep.... This tore me to pieces!!! I got a referal for Tricillian, but still didnt know how I was going to cope for 6 weeks until they could get me in... So mum came to stay for 3 days... Phew! It was so horrible at first, I cryed more than Tiera did! lol Mum was good and sat with me. After day 2 Tiera was as good as gold! I had no more tears and neither did Tiera!!! Now sometimes T has a bit of a cry before she falls asleep, but nothing drastic and then she'll just go off to sleep. It didnt take long before I started feeling human again (unfortuately after having to give up BF as 6 weeks of non stop pain). I do believe if it doesn't bother you to put your baby to sleep or may with them so they fall asleep, then thats great, but for me that was a rolling stone thats just wasn't meant to be!

Wow what a novel... Sorry about that ladies.
I hope you all have a great day
