Jan, yeah I try resettling her but it normally doesn't work! Yet she's tired still... Weird.. Unless maybe I try taking her out of her bed and then resettle and then put her back in? She just won't seem to resettle in her bed, I can normally only settle her in my arms.. Frustrating!

Frustrating that Jess fights the dummy! Have you tried different shaped dummies at all! Violet doesn't like all the shapes, she prefers the avent ones that are kinda flat? But yeah I guess some babies just don't like dummies! At night, do you change her nappy? I've found I get heaps more sleep now that I don't change violets nappy at night- she doesn't care and I just use a thick amount of sudocream to protect her skin- I found when I used to change her at night she would end up wide awake for play time like you mentioned, and I'd be up for sometimes 2 hrs trying to resettle- now it's 15 mins roughly!

I haven't had AF reappear yet- hope she stays away. Not keen for her return!

Lolpigs, does it feel less daunting now that you've had the first day with DH back at work?

It's DH and my fourth wedding anniversary Thursday.. We are going to have a picnic with us and violet

I have a super dumb question- so there are lots of plastic toys, rattles etc for babies that are for 3months and up- violet isn't grabbing things yet consciously but if I touch the toy to her hand she will sometimes grab it out of reflex- but then she will wave her hands around and im sure she would smack herself in the head if she played with it? Anyone else had that problem?
