To want to chop of Ewans front right leg (the harp)

My son is currently going through the 4 month sleep regression and waking every hour. Every feed and settle is a battle. At 4am this morning i successfully got DS to sleep with Ewan doing his thing with DS's preferred back right leg. I was in the process of lifting DS back into his bed when Ewan decided to go to sleep. In sheer panic I grabbed Ewan and hit the blasted harp. DS wide awake for another hour. I may as well of shook a tamborine in his ear.

FFS.

I get there is a certain degree of operator incompentency going on but as all babies have a preferred leg I do feel there needs to be a safety lock or something on the others. In the mean time I am considering scissors.

Rant over.

Tobebythesea they are slightly different, as we learned when DD1’s purple one broke and I replaced it with the grey one, expecting them to be the same. She was not impressed. That was the point at which she weaned off Ewan (still going strong with DD2 aged 2.5!)

The myhummy has different sounds to ewan. I thought they were rubbish when we first got it, but dd made the transition with no fuss and likes their heartbeat version. She used to like the back right leg of ewan before! It was expensive, and the fact that it needs new batteries almost every month adds up, but if I'd known how much more sleep I'd get, I'd of paid double!
