MOT - I'd like to put DS2 in his own room but DH is pretty insistent that he stays in with us. DS2 thrashes around in his sleep and bangs the sides of the cot so loudly it wakes me! We will probably keep him in with us till 6 months.

Double Trouble - hope you enjoyed your quiet night in! I had a night off mummy duties on friday night when I did some card making at a friend's mum's place.

And you are definitely not a failure Double Trouble! I know that it can be so painful and upsetting not to have your breast feeding journey go as you wished. You've done really well to breast feed her for so long. You could try seeing a GP to get some motilium (tablet) which doesn't have any significant side effects, but from what I've heard they actually only help in some circumstances. I have hyperplasia (lack of breast tissue) but only discovered after DS1 was born. I was grief stricken for weeks!

As for me, DS2 is finally doing longer stretches overnight! We decided about a week ago to start trying to settle him with water when he first woke overnight. That has generally been working. He will sometimes wake for a drink of water and sometimes sleep from 9pm-5am. We are now 6 days since his last poo and I've been giving him coloxyl drops, so expecting something soon!
