    Re: Babies Born ~ December 2014

    I want to say yes he will re sleeping....but Im still yet to see it =p
    Something reassuring is Spock use to wake every 2hrs for 18mths, then i forced night weaned and she slowly decreased wake ups, and now at 3 it is only once maybe twice a night. So that does get better...
    Ok so our current arrangement: we have 2 bedrooms, one is ours and one is the girls. Both girls have beds set up in their room, (except Quarks doesn't have a mattress yet) but Spocks bed is all pretty and comfy and warm in there. We then have our room, which has our queen bed, the cot next to it 'side carred' without a side, so is the same sleeping space as our bed itms, just means she cant roll off (not that she is rolling anyway) we then also have another single bed in the room but not connected to the main bed. Quark sleeps in the cot. Spock goes to bed in her bed, but will wake up in the middle of the night and migrate to the other bed in our room. I was hoping when Spock was 3 we would keep herin her bed, but im so zonked by Quarks wakeups i very rarely hear Spock, so my hubby deals.with her, and its not uncommon for me to wake up and find Spock in bed with me and him in one of the other beds. (Which i hate....but he isbtired and does whatever is easier at the time. ) Spock will resettle really easily though and is often asleep again before we migrate her to whatever bed. Im hoping once Quark joins her in their room she wont come into us as often

    My husband is the same TT. Does whats easiest at the time. I set up is the same. King bed, cot and single bed in our room. DS is in bed with us and the cot is empty. Its been way to cold to keep him in the cot. We will try again in a month when its not so freezing. Our house is cold.

    Is anyone elses bub not feeding so good now they are having some solids? DS doesn't seem to be getting the comfort from the boob he use to. If I offer it to him he bites. Quiet deliberately and he has 6teeth so its hurts a lot. He seems to want to eat food and a lot not just a few spoons I would expect him to have at his age. He can easily eat an entire piece of toast and demand more. Its not like he even will have a bottle as he wont. He will play with a cup or bottle but isn't interested in drinking from it other then to play. He is thriving 9.5kgs and at the 85% for his age.

    You ladies must have big bedrooms! No way could we fit all that in ours. It's a fair size for our small home, but it also has some odd angles that make it limited where we can place furniture.

    The cold is exactly why we stopped co-sleeping. I like the covers over my shoulders, and didnt know where to place DS so he was safe. We had the chicco next2me co-sleeper as his bassinet, next to the bed for 4 months then it got cold and the quilt was just at his level, so zipped it up & moved it away. We even took it travelling with us as it packs in to a travel bag. He would still be in it, except now he is standing up so it just wasn't safe to leave him in it.

    Soon as we got home, we had to go out & buy a cot. DH said "I know understand why you need a cot. I thought it was one of those things, paint the nursery & buy a cot, and never use it."

    He is still in our room. MIL was suprised, thinking he should be in his own room. I told her its because its cold, our room has better heating. Didn't tell her I still sneak him in to bed with me at night when I'm giving him his bottle. Got to get all the baby snuggles I can!

    TT, funny how your little one isn't rolling, and my little one isn't sitting.

    Mildez, sounds like your little guy is doing great, what a chubby little guy! Can't help with the feeding & biting, sorry. DS went off his bottle about a month ago, turned out he was coming down with a cold and sucking possibly hurt his throat. How is his side/arm?

    Anyone heard from Rosie?
