JaZaH, I've got to say the responsive comforting is easier at our house because E bellows like she's cranky, rather than heartbroken! I make sure I'm giving her lots of extra cuddles and attention during awake times too. She's waking much less and settles much quicker most of the time now. I feel like my sanity is slowly leaking back to me each night she sleeps better. Even though I never really wanted to have to resort to CC, if MD goes down over the next three months the whole ship will sink. I didn't feel I had the luxury of not doing CC in the end.

Leanne have you talked to the FAO to find out whether you are eligible for child care benefit?

Gotta go, BBL.
