Hi Girls!

Tilda - I hate losing posts! I try to copy them before I hit 'post' in case I lose them. Hmmm, no idea what did the trick for you the other night but I really hope she does it again and you and your DH get some sleep! With Ryan, I started putting him to bed when he was still awake but drowsy. Now I can put him down fully awake and calm and he justs goes to sleep on his own. Tonight, he fell asleep on the boob (he still does it when he's really tired) and I accidentally woke him up when I put him in bed and he started crying, but I was able to settle him in the cot without picking him up and he went to sleep.

Alison - We've had the reverse, with Ryan suddenly sleeping more again after only sleeping 30mins at a time before. I'm with you, enjoy the sleep while it lasts! Glad Millie's feeling better now. Lamb shanks, YUM!

Beany - Yes, Ryan has his bottom 2 teeth. They don't bother me when BF because the tongue covers them, but when he wants to bite, OUCH! Craig did this too at the same age, it was a phase and he stopped.

BS - I hope that nappy rash is getting better.

Lani, Hannah, Willow, Rose, Kawa, Carmey, Kanda -

I had a curry night with some girlfriends on Saturday night and the boys were good for DH. We started the bedtime routine early and I actually got Ryan to bed after his last BF at 6:30pm. DH had a bottle ready for him but didn't need it. Then last night poor Craig hit his head on the coffee table and he has a big gash and a bump! We've been watching him closely last night and today to make sure he's OK. Today I had my Mum visiting and boy, just having that extra set of hands to feed Ryan made such a difference! 5pm to bedtime at our place is total chaos now there's a solid feed involved. DH usually isn't home in time, so I have to find a way to make it easier. Am really tired and will run myself a bath tonight to relax before going to bed early.
