Tilda - Oh my goodness I know how it feels to be up and down so often. I wish I could give you some advice. For me, it was just something we had to ride out. However, I don't know if this was a coincidence, but on the night that he stopped waking every hour, the first time he woke up (would have been about 11pm I think), I let him go for a bit before I went it. He wasn't crying-crying (he is a no-crying baby too), just a bit of a whinge-cry. Well, about a minute of that and he went quiet...I went in and he'd gone back to sleep. Ever since that point he hasn't been waking up as often. That could totally just be coincidence tho. Have you tried giving her a minute or two before you see to her? And with his sleep associations, its always in a grobag with a dummy in his cot with the curtains drawn (not 100% blockout). There is nothing in his cot to distract him either. Oh, and YES PLEASE to that DTD info...anything to help!

BS - I agree, I think his lack of needing to be cuddled and held is a sign of independence, for sure. And yes, I think reading all the "your baby needs 'x' amount of sleep" things gets me all done up. I guess its only cos I want the best for him. You can always give the wrapping a go. I nkow if I tried that with Michael tho he will make it his mission to bust out of it! But its worth a shot! I'm sorry Eva cried when you left...that must be so hard. but I'm sure it will get better. And OMG, I'm so sorry to hear you lost a brother to SIDS Thats so sad

Lani - So happy you had a better night with Jett, hopefully the trend will continue!

Rose - yeah, I really think these teeth are bothering him. He woke up a lot more last night, and once when I went in he had fallen asleep with his finger in his mouth (he chews on his fingers when he is teething). Poor little darling. Bonjella helps tho Great idea posting your sleeping tips. With the music, do you play it all night, like, on repeat? Or just until the CD ends? and with the dressing for bed...I always worry whether Michael is too cold. Atm he has a wondersuit on, then a longsleeved top and then a 2.5TOG grobag. The coldest his room has got is 15oC, and when that happens I turn the gas heater on in the living area which heats his room to nearly 18oC. Are they flannelette 2-piece pyjama's that Liam wears? Maybe I should be dressing him warmer... Oh, and how do you keep the blankets on top? Michael would have wriggled out of them in no time!

Suz - Ooochies with the bite on the nipple!! I've forgotten, has Ryan got teeth yet? I reckon babies can sense how you're feeling, I really really do. I remember when we first brought him home and had his bassinet right next to my side of the bed and I'd wake up then lie there stressing that he was going to wake up...and whaddya know, he does. And, the times when he hasn't been sleeping and I come in his room to get him up with me being upset...he looks at me differently, he doesn't smile he just studies my face. They know how we feel, I really believe that. And YES! It soooo helps when you've had a decent sleep and a shower and have eaten, you can handle anything! Thats prolly why I went to pieces last week cos I wasn't getting the sleep I needed and it all just snowballed.

Alison - Hope little Amelia is over her cold now! Where the heck do you buy these Hyland Teething Tablets? I've been to 2 chemists and woollies, coles and target and I can't find them!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

AFM - no news. Oh, except what I put on face book. He has 2 teeth cutting through atm...I can't work out which ones they are, they're not the front teeth, they must be the ones next to those, but then they look pointy like the eye teeth, but then its waaay too early for them. Hmm...we'll just have to wait and see!
