Rose! Wooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Seriously, I feel like Eva and Liam are so similar! She changed so much when she moved to her room! I am so happy for you - trust me you'll get used to sleeping through soon enough! You're going to feel like a new woman soon! I am really so happy for you!
Tilda, sucks about that mother's group...I don't think it is wrong to feed to sleep - I never did but recently Eva tuckers herself out so much that she generally ends up asleep at the end of her last feed...Do what is good for her. At the same time, I do the self settling and it works fine, she has only whined a bit like Michael and once the dummy is back in she just settles back down...But she is a belly sleeper which makes a HUGE difference - my friend's baby has started rolling over to belly sleep and now sleeps straight from 7-830AM! she actually has to wake her up in the morning to drop her off at daycare since she started belly sleep...have you tried that with Matilda? Again, you can try for a nap and see what happens...They are pretty strong now so it should not be a prob.
Alison, your poor baby Eva is also blocked up and has to be settled to sleep lately, but I suction her nose with the physio serum before bed every night or else she also wakes up constantly not being able to breathe...I also noticed that she is slightly more comfy in a slight seated position and the first few days when the cold was worse I put her in bed with a little pillow to prop her up (not at night but for naps...) and found that she slept and breathed better, maybe try that? Sending out get well vibes to her!
Beany, I think Michael is just going through the difficult 6 month sleep thing. Eva is on and off since hitting 6 months too, she seems to be settling back in now, but she def has way less sleep period now - She has two little naps max during the day and plays constantly - they are getting bigger! I hope MIL gets better It must be so hard for you guys to see her not well and so hard for her not to see Michael...you guys should skype with her so she can see him on video - I do that with my fam in NYC.
Willow, It is so annoying sometimes when you have people all in your space and you just need to keep your baby in a controlled environment! And some people just don't get it! They forget everything five minutes after you tell them...How much longer do you have before you're in your own place? Just take a breath and count down, you're almost there!!!! Put a sign up on the door of the laundry saying "Don't forget Harry is next door " or something - maybe that will help them remember without you having to get angry?
AFM, just booked a ticket to NYC - my mother called complaining that she can't take it anymore - not seeing Eva, that is! So we will be in NYC from the 1st - 10th of July then we get back and leave for the south of france on the 15-31st! I can't wait!!! NYC for shopping and all of my favorite beauty salons and hair salons then vacation in the sun! yay!
I need to get all of the logistics in order for the trips, but once I organize everything it should be great.
Eva is still going strong up on all fours and is reversing while up on her knees, she advances a bit but nothing that seems to be on purpose, but she is figuring it out! There is a little vid on fb of her bouncing up and down on her knees...that was last week so she is doing it A LOT more now!
I am also going today to buy her a bunch of new toys - she is ready for more lights and buttons and I will donate her baby toys to the daycare
