Hi Rose - glad Liam is sleeping better for you, isn't it amazing what some sleep does for you. I've lost mine at the moment (see below) and it's killing me! Re the 90 minute thing, what's that about? Would be interested to hear that one. I've found since keeping Amelia awake a bit longer in the day her day naps are longer, she is having at least 1.5 hours but up to 2 hours as well (except for the at the moment with this darn cold). She can also last to 3 hours if needs be but can't go longer than that without getting cranky.

AFM - just a quick post as I'm shattered. This cold is worse than the last, poor thing can't breathe so is waking heaps in the night, I was up with her from 1.30 am to 3.30 am this morning solidly, she literally can't breathe through her nose so I have to get her upright until she goes to sleep again. Honestly, my eyeballs are hanging out of my head this morning - I got up a couple more times to check on her but the other times she managed to go back to sleep. I have no idea how long this cold will last but I have a feeling we're in for a good week of this at least. Unfortunately I think her nose is as bad as mine gets and not being able to give her any sudafed or anything means it might take longer I guess. I wish there was more I could do, I'm dousing her with Vicks, have the vaporizer on, using the Fess and the suction thing which she absolutely hates, what else can I do!

Anyway, I must go have a shower while I can, I think I'm going to have to have a sleep this afternoon when she does, of course she's sleeping less in the day too. She's so tired, she wants to go to sleep but as soon as she closes her eyes she wakes up again because of her damn nose - she can't even suck on her dummy because she can't breathe with it in. Makes me realise how much she likes her dummy at night! Wish me luck girls, I think I'm going to need it to get through this week. Honestly I feel like I just get a couple of good weeks and then she gets sick, first gastro, then a cold, then wonder week and teething and now teething and another cold, grrrr! No matter how crap she must feel she still manages to smile and she has learnt to clap hands now, when we sing that clap handies clap handies till daddy comes home song she does it, it's so cute. How can you be mad when they're sick.
