Gosh I missed out on a megga conversation and didn't get to put my two bobs worth in!

Amber Chicky I am with Trish BIG TIME on this. Consistency is the key. I was in your boat not long ago with Max and the overnight bfing. I was tired, grumpy....max was tired and grumpy...DH was completely copping it...life was well....$hite and I wasn't UTD!! THEN I decided...tonight I will cut out one feed (coz Max was waking at the same times every night for a 'snack'). It felt like hell on earth. He woke....I said "No boobie, it's all gone" and he scrrrrreeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmed!!! I just held him, and rocked him until he fell asleep again. The next night he didn't wake at that timeslot, but if he woke for another at the other timeslot....I would boob him up. Then I decided the next week, I would cut out the other feed....he did the scream thing again, and after I think 2 nights, he didn't bother with it at all. At this point I was co-sleeping with him on the spare bed...so DH was in one room and I was in another! Once I was done (well max was done) with bfing...I had to do the next thing which was no more co-sleeping. As you know I took the rails off Max's cot and he likes that much better. At first I would get a foam mattress and put it on the floor in his room, and if he woke up, I would tell him to lie back down....and he would go back to sleep. Eventually I could go back to my own room and he would sleep without me in there. Max WILL still wake everynight, once or twice....pretty much only coz he's lost his dummy, or he's hot/cold. At times I think he even does it just to check I'm still around and I DO lie in his bed with him (lets remember it was a COT at one point and I weigh 72kg!!!!!) and it comforts him enough to go back to sleep and I can leave again.

So...even though I've spilled my whole story on the matter....the point is....be consistent and do one thing at a time. Do it slowly and do it your own way. It will end!

LET US SUPPORT YOU!!! HUGS xoxo

Trish You are a special woman That is all!!

Well....Singapore was great! It was so clean and pretty but bl00dy HOT and muggy! Blergh! We found an area we like there called Clarke Quay/Robertson Quay and found an apartment complex around that area that we liked. It's brand new and pretty schmick! It should for about $7k a month (good thing DH's work is paying for this!) We havent signed anything up yet but at least we have a start. We still don't know when things are going to be really happening, but I'm guessing that DH will have to be up there before me so he can set up a bit and I can tie loose ends here. We'll be renting out our place and I'll be moving some essential things to my Mums place so we have a base for when we come back for visits.

Max loved it there...he was pretty cruisy the whole time. Apart from the day we went apartment hunting and he was SOOO tired and hungry by the end of the day....poor little mite! When we first got to the hotel (we were on the 55th floor), I went out onto the balcony and said "Wow"....well, that was it...Max's new word is "WOW" ALLLL the time! It's pretty damn cute I must say. He's a big fan of fried rice and quay teow (sp?!) so I think he'll embrace the asian culture! I'll put some pics on fb soon!

Well that's it from me! Hi to everyone! (Mo love your new pics of your kiddlies!)
