Shell - A wakes between 1-4 times a night, although it can take me up to 2.5 hrs to settle him before going to bed. I have to be very patient and wait for him to get zonked out before transferring him to the cot, otherwise I just have to start all over again - so I read very thick books. Last night he was down at 7.30pm and slept til 4.50am - tonight it was 10.30pm before I could settle him (started at 8pm) - everytime I went to put him down (after about 40minutes - he'd wake).

Still demand feeding but will ask teh MCHN nurse about this.

Sounds like you melbourne girls had a good time.
