hi all!
yes we have remote control/mobile lust here too, & roo can also change the channel he's found the dvd player too...
tipex - sleep training isn't any particular method (& def not cc). roo goes to bed around 9, after a feed & then wakes any time between midnight & 1.30, when i feed him. then if he wakes again before 5-6ish (which he invariably does - between 3-4), dh goes in to settle him hopefully (usually) without picking him up. it's been abt a week now i think, def getting easier to settle him down i think for dh. had to do something as he was beginning to wake every 2 hrs, no could do! i'm just waiting to see whether he'll give up on waking at 3, & so be down to 2 feeds - the morning one (ie 5-6) is no problem, if he dropped the other then he'd be sleeping through which i really don't expect any time soon. my friend's bf 10mth old still feeds 2-3 times per night, & most babies i know of similar age to roo are up at 4ish (even if ff). he doesn't eat huge amounts of solids really (breakfast esp poor), tho i try to make sure he gets plenty of milk too in the day. i wonder if the 2 are linked..??
hazellnut - yeah the baby group was just in a church hall, run by a couple of health visitors, usual thing, ie toys & play for babes, coffee & chat for mums, followed by singing. we've been to 2 new ones this past week, which means that we'll be out every day this week! i kinda like it sometimes when we just get a day at home, no pressure to dash out anywhere iykwim. but shd be nice today, gorgeous weather for meeting postnatal buds, give the cinema a miss in favour of lunch in the park i think. do try a baby group hazellnut, specially if you know someone that goes to one & can recommend, also it's nice to have a familiar face there too. most people are v. friendly & it's nice to chat etc, plus they're free or v. cheap!
roo's fave food is undoubtedly avocado - recently with chicken. also LOVES pasta, whether mushed up or as finger food. & strawberries/blackberries LOVES LOVES these! we usually make little yoghurts from them & then have to shovel like mad to get it in his mouth fast enough!
starlover - do your fuzzis still leak?? just bought a dizzy diaper, been fancying one for a while & a popolini onesize, dunno why! shd prob have bought a bamboozle, which i really like the sound of - nik, gotta let me know how it performs!
phew, sooo long..!
