Hi All

Smithy - Good luck with the move hope it all goes smoothly I can only imagine the packing to do lol since I have been packing up a few rooms and it was enough for me lol I also have a feeling your lil Charlie is having a growth spurt - I had Jayde going so well routine and all and then all of a sudden out of no where she is waking every 4 hours for her bottle (I changed the teets to allow more flow as she was getting the poops with the slow flow for newborn) and I swear she has put on a kg and grown so I am hoping thats all it is, as I finally had her half self settling...

Emma - I have been reading books researching on the net and a friend of mine suggested to me to keep a diary of baby's movements for 5 days and see if there is some patten and work on the patten. So far to me its working and then try all the different methods under the sun to get them to sleep. I also read Save our Sleep and it has some really strict routines but alot of helpful hints so it has definatly helped. My communtiy nurse was also telling me that you should always put a baby to sleep where the baby is going to wake up so that place becomes a "familiar" sleeping spot for them - I have 3 places for Jayde to sleep and am trying to narrow it down to 2 (apart from the pram)

One is her cradle, her swing and the other is her "day" bed (sunggle bed) which she sleeps in during the day I use the swing if she is unsettled or if its early morning.

One thing I have noticed is that the more Jayde sleeps during the day the more she sleeps at night and the better she sleeps. Hope your lil one sleeps well soon for you.
Jayde needs patting to sleep and unless she isnt well or her reflux is playing up she rarely wants me to rock her to sleep. I can sit her in the cot and pat her to sleep and more often now she will put herself back to sleep.

To everyone else hope your all ok

AFM Jayde seems to be getting over her gastro bug and has gone back to her usual pooping patten and is not throwing up no where near as much as she was (and its normal reflux up not anything that looks nasty or makes her cry)
