Could I ask please: What time does your toddler WAKE up?

[nickelbabe]

that's not the whole question, though, sorry!

What time does your toddler wake up, what time does s/he go to bed?
What is your bedtime routine?

I would be particularly interested in views and advice from extended breastfeeders, co-sleepers and parents of ECZEMA toddlers.

TIA

(DD currently goes to sleep on a feed at about 9, wakes up at about 9, after being transferred into our bed at 10:30ish, and wakes two or three times in the night for a feed.
she very rarely goes to sleep by her own merit - she cries herself to sleep on Thursdays when DH is in charge, and has fallen asleep on me twice in her whole life without boob. She will not sit/lie still for a bedtime story, because she is surrounded by books all day, so doesn't see them as relaxing. We can't bathe her because she screams blue murder at the feel of water (to the extent that she now screams when she sees us attempting to run a bath for her) because it hurts her skin.
i think that's all my relevant information)
thank you :)

Sleeps 8pm (story, bath, bf routine starts just after 7) until 7. No night wakings atm. Sleeps in his own cot, either bf to sleep or put down awake and he chatters until he drops off.

Occasional nights (like last night) when he won't let me leave the room (screams) but can't drop off with an interesting person there. Those are fun.

We only cosleep when necessary, not routinely but I find ds wakes more when next to fidgety adults and the all you can drink milk buffet. Afraid that doesn't help you though.

DS is 2

Have you got a cream for the eczema? My DS used to scratch himself falling to sleep and in his sleep until bleeding! I bath him every night with a little oil I don't scrub him with a sponge or anything just gently wash with my hands and I use natural products shampoo's etc. I do the baths quite deep and also leave him in there for at least 10 minutes then I have a cetraben cream prescribed from doc get it on as quickly as possible I put loads on and you can get it on a repeat prescription! Then a vest with poppers so he can't actually get to his tummy, then long sleeves and long pj bottom. Also I cut his nails every 3 days and file them just before bed every night only the tiniest ammount so no sharp bits. He still scratches but its harder to break the skin.

Also he never used to sleep unless I was there What worked for him was to do the same thing every night at the same time so start at 7pm a relaxing warm bath then about 7.20pm put her on the bed you want her to sleep on rather than being downstairs and trying to move her! Read if she likes that my DS doesn't so i used to hum or just be sileny say goodnight then I would stay there next to him until he falls asleep which could take a while then leave I did that for a while then I moved to on the floor for a while then further and further away in the room but so she can see you then leave once she is asleep then do it so you edge slowly out of the room I used to tell him as I put him in his bed if he needed me I would come back if he cried I went straight away back in the room and did the process again eventually after months and months of being at the edge of the room one night I put him in his bed I said night he said night and I left and he's been brilliant ever since I was in so much shock he just did it I just think he was ready and knew he wasn't being abandoned and that I would always always come back!

I did cut down his day time naps he was having 2 hours a day and he wpuld eventually fall asleep at about 10 it was awful because he was so tired in the day for a while but I kept him going and eventually by half 7 he was very tired he now sleeps half 7 until half 7 give or take 15 mins!

I don't know much about breast feeding at this age though!

I think she's getting worse - we did have cetraben for a while, but it stopped being efficacious and we moved onto another one.
now whenever we go back to an old cream (because we've run out and the pharmacy is the crappest at sorting out the repeat prescriptions), we find that they just don't touch it.

She's got to the stage right now that she is hardly sleeping.
She had slept really well for a while.
But, I think ti might be because she's poorly (she's got a nasty hacking cough), so she'll probably go back to "normal" when she's better.

The thing that I hate right now is that she's feeding to sleep, but in such a position that she moves further away from my body and clamps down on my nipple so she doesn't lose it. and carries on sucking. it's like knives!
but if i pull her off to reposition her, she goes mental.

Well my baby is now 2 and a bit bf till he was 16 months old never really co slept an never had exema.Goes to bed with his brothers at 7 and sleeps till bout 7.Never really wakes up but if he does hes very hard to go back to sleep.Not even the magic of mammy and daddys bed works.
