Amy - Please don't feel you can't share about Natty in here, I think having second time mums share their experiences in this thread makes it even more valuable.

In fact I think really we have been going long enough that most stuff is ok for this thread, and if it isn't am sure one of us will politely suggest a new thread is started :-), would be awful if worry about posting relevant stuff put any of us posting full stop.

Had a lovely time at the picnic - and thanks for all the pics I have stolen from you all. DH said that he didn't realize it was a BBQ with the paparazzi, and was a bit tired of sucking in his belly in case he was photographed by the end of it :-). You can never take too many photos in my book though.

J - CJ was like that at about 3 months, would sleep elsewhere in the day but not in her cot (was fine at night though). I just went with it for a while, and if I was feeling good would try her in the cot and would sometimes work, and sometimes not, I also made a little thing out of AFL men (from chips packets) for her to look at which seemed to help, and a suggestion from a book that I tried was I had a phil and teds cocoon thing, which she loved to sleep in so would let her go to sleep in that and then put that inside the cot - no idea if any of it worked in particular just the times she would refuse her cot got less and less. Our flat is pretty noisy, so I also put on white noise in her room as she seemed to not like the quiet - e.g. would sleep in the cocoon thing in middle of lounge floor where is noisiest for ages.
