Hi everyone,

She's finally down. Been up for 4 hours trying to prove to mummy and daddy that she's a big girl and doesn't need to sleep no matter how much she'a yawning!!!! I'm glad to see everyone else is having the same issues and their little darlings look so settled until they're in the bassinet or cot. Drives me bonkers when I think she's just asleep and then she's crying again. I'm trying to put her down just before she 's fully asleep so she learns to settle a bit herself and that was working fine last week

lou I think arching the back can be a sign of tiredness as well so it might not be a sore belly...... Anyone else know this for sure??? I'm still pretty new to all this like many of us are!!

Jen, our little miss loves her change table too. If she has her nappy off she's happy as. Unfortunately we're using cloth nappies on top of the mat and we're going through 6 -7 a day because she's as bad as a boy when the nappy comes off and pees everywhere. At least it doesn't fountain all over me I guess. Although hubby copped a poo off the change table down his leg last night. He thinks I now owe him lots of changes. Must have forgotten I was the one on the ground scrubbing it out of the carpet at the time . She's pretty talented......

Gotta go. I've got parents and in laws coming for lunch (and had my last clean shirt on which Alyssa has chucked up all over - lovely!!). Should really be putting some of the junk away in the lounge room!!
