Thanks Beata I think we'll just stick to feeding him first and then DH can complete the routine. DH had something on last night, so I did the whole bedtime routine and poor Angus was a bit unsettled. In the end I had to let him cry himself to sleep because every time I put him down he would cry. It only took 5 minutes of me being out of the room. I didn't do the dreamfeed last night and he woke at 12 and 4:30, same times as the night before when I did the dreamfeed - so it doesn't make a difference with Angus.
Hope your gymbaroo went well. The lady taking the class got Angus to roll down the foam wedge thing they have and he did it under his play gym today!
I think it's a bit of both. He won't settle unless I feed him, and he is really difficult to resettle. I was awake for an hour and a half every time he woke up last night
It takes ages to get Indy to go to sleep, that's rocking him or putting him in the cot and patting his chest, and then he's only sleeping for 2 hours at a time overnight! Help!
no more babies for us (at least not in the foreseeable future). we are moving to wagga wagga in january so have been busy planning for that!
Hamish is doing well. speaking more and more. sometimes he says clear words and other times he doesnt. he knows what we are saying to him and understands us but just doesnt talk back most times. i am not too worried. what is everyone else's little ones doing?
I'm glad to see everyone and their LOs are doing well. It's funny how a dormant thread just comes to life suddenly! lol. We (well I actually) have been going through a bit with Cam, as he is still quite delayed with most things and that is really starting to worry me now. He has just started to walk unaided a week ago. He is still only saying mum and dada and lots of words we don't understand, so lots of sounds but not real words. I had an 18 month check up and asked the nurse to do an assessment on him as I suspect that something else is going on. She did the test and was concerned, so we got referred to a developmental pediatrician (we have to wait till March 2012!) . He doesn't point and sometimes it's like talking to a brick wall, not much response from him, but other days he's quite responsive. I know he can understand a lot but can't communicate yet. He waves bye bye but that's pretty much it. My DF doesn't seem to be worried but I am losing the plot slowly. My gut feeling is that something is not quite right. I take him to a gymbaroo type class called kidz can, and he doesn't seem to be as responsive as the other kids. I had that problem at gymbaroo, when during story time and when they called out his name he hardly ever responded. This class is a bit longer and they have a lot more 'free' play so he enjoys it more. We ended up taking him to his normal pediatrician and he said that he's too young to assess now, and referred us to an assessment person in February. He doesn't seem to think there's anything big to worry about, but has agreed that he sometimes seems to disassociate a bit from things. Cam was actually a lot more responsive during that consultation than with the MCHN!
Anyway, enough from me, I think I have lost 10 years off my life firstly googling things and secondly worrying about what may come.
Big hugs to all.
PS On the TTC thing, I was excited to do another cycle this month but have decided to put it off for a while as I'm just too stressed with things ATM.
