    OP - as a last resort try Hydrozole cream from the chemist. I have used it once or twice with DD1 when nappy rash just would not budge. It was gone in 24 hours!

    We have been feeding at about 5am most mornings as Miss J thinks it's wake up time Grrr! I think she is getting cold and waking. She only has a norning feed now so I don't want to deny her but I wish she wouldn't wake so early for it!

    olive last few days Alex has been sleeping about 10am and then waking at 1pm - but only sleeps that long when I co sleep with him (or lay on the mattress).. we are back to co-sleeping again, and he's still a booby monster...

    I'm just about ready to give up entirely...

    Hey girls, I haven't been in here since the 20th April Sorry for being such a bad buddy. I do think of you all often but I just don't get much time to get in here.

    I've read through all the posts.

    DS isn't wearing shoes yet. We only have one pair that was a gift and I have no idea what size they are! He isn't walking yet. Do they need shoes once they're walking? Hey Det, thanks for the tip about the blunstone boots, sounds like a good plan! I read somewhere that kids don't really need shoes until they're 2 - how true is that?

    BB - Hope you get that casual work. That money is fantastic for not having the responsibility, just holding the fort for the day! I'm in the wrong job!! Hope your friend is doing ok.
    OP - you have heaps on your plate atm. I hope things have settled down with your sister. I'd be upset with your mates too, that's not on, esp since you're pg and have a one year old! Not long to go now.
    Lilima - Hope DS is making a speedy recovery and that the naughty behaviour is pretty minor this time.
    olive - DS has one feed per day, early morning between 5am and 8am depending when he wakes. Usually it's around 6. His sleep is all over the show. No pattern whatsoever. Monday this week he didn't sleep at all and we were home. First time he has gone without a day sleep WE only have 5 teeth here with #6 cutting through now.
    Det - Hope everybody is still on the mend. You've had a crazy time hun!

    Hi to everyone else!!

    AFU - Feel like I have no time since being back at work. Everything I used to do all week now gets squashed into two days. We've been away, DS has been sick (got it at CC) and is currently still on ab's, he's been teething. Sleep has been really variable but mostly crap. He has taken to waking once or twice per night (not just normal wake and resettle but wake up properly, crying etc) and is taking up to 2 hours to go back to sleep. Just wants to be held. Sometimes giving him milk (cow) helps, other times not. We have started co-sleeping some nights because we're just so tired it's the only way to get any rest but even that doesn't always work and he's usually up at 5am on those nights. He is night weaned and I regret doing that now because at least before I could feed him and get back into bed 10-15 mins later. This is getting beyond a joke. There's always something! He doesn't sleep well in CC either - anything from 20mins to 1hr10mins.

    On a positive note, he is trying to take some wobbly steps and can stand quite well. Hasn't worked out how to climb yet which I'm about. Talking heaps, trying to say new words and copying the intonation of things we say with his own babble language. Plus he has stopped crying at CC drop offs now which is great.

    I'll try to get in here more often I promise!! Take care everyone. xx
