Teagz you poor thing, i had a brother die from SIDS and i have no idea how my mum coped i was a paranoid freak with Ava, especially as she was born the same month as Marty and the month he died i was watching her like a hawk.
I must say that i personally learnt that Ava slept how she was comfortable, once she could roll there was no stopping which way she slept, does he sleep on his side? i know they say not to do that too but i have found sometimes if Z is on her side i can slip something behind her and she sleeps like that all night without a drama.... i'm not in the habit of putting things in her cot and believe me the SIDS msg is well known and received here but sometimes you do need to do what you need to do...

Z is biting down on things, she thinks it's hilarious to bite my nipple or suck JUST the end of it while looking at me smiling.

Well we have moved, were in the new house and Z seems to be sleeping better in the cot at night, she has slept through from 7 to 6:30 a couple of times, last night was til 5, back down then not up til 9ish.
She is VERY clingy during the day though and every time i eat she is on my knee, sometimes i think she is ready for solids, she watches us eat, tries to get our forks etc, opens her mouth... she was chewing on one of A's plastic spoons yesterday. Am torn though, A started at 5mths then gave up til 8mths, i don't want to rush it but Z is a bigger girl, very hungry feeding every 2-3hrs and growing so much faster.. why can't kids have a damn instruction manual... lol
