ah, i see that we are not the only ones dealing with the dreaded molars! i realised that L has got two coming through. they are just sitting there. none have broken through yet. but last night she slept and was panadol free so fingers-crossed it just nicely pops out for us

Noni: turn the air con on girl!

Ange: yeah i have been going for an afternoon nanna nap but find i cant sleep at night. luckily L the last 2 days has a morning nap so i go back as well for 30 minutes (i spend the other time also doing the mad dash around the house trying to pick up the various assortment of toys/clothes/food that leila has left around...does it ever end?! LOL!)

MM: a few girls that i have mentioned the effect of the pethidine (ie not taking away pain but sending us gaga) have had similar experiences so i dont know. maybe it works for some but not for others?
i think you are on the right track with M re the bottle. it is hard for the first few nights but they learn really quickly that there is no point in waking up and asking for it. hang in there for at least a couple of days more and see if there is some improvement IMO.

AFM: all good here. i am trying desperately to overcome my 'twilight' addiction. so far unsuccessful LOL! Leila is trying to drop one of her sleeps so ATM as i write i have a crazy baby on my hands. she woke up at 12 and has been going non-stop since. What time do your bubs have their sleeps? are they on one or two sleeps a day??
we gave leila some apple granita today and OMG the child went beserko. loved it! i have to admit mummy also found it rather refreshing...
her new dolly has also been getting a work out. she is really trying to mimick all the things we do with her. but the big favourite is getting us to swaddle dolly for her. for some reason it is the bestest thing in the whole world for Leila...who knows!
