Dear god, mlic that is what is known by experts as a 'fuck-awful' night. You poor thing. Any chance of getting some time off over the weekend so you can rest?
Do you still swaddle? I'm still religiously swaddling A - in fact I often have to so she'll calm down enough for her bedtime feed.
Apparently with chest infections, the cough outlasts the infection - that's definitely happened with me so probably the same with E.
tsc oh what a shame. I know how you feel as I couldn't (or wouldn't) leave F until after I'd fed him and put him to bed til I weaned him at 14months. It wasn't so bad tho once he'd go down and stay down from 7.30pmish.
I guess there's a chance that frankie might resort to taking some if you weren't there but it's understandable you don't want to go out and take the risk. Could you go out and leg it back if it all goes to shit?
Today we're off to a local petting farm with another mother with two the same age. Later we're going to a fireworks display with dh and friends with their dd then back to ours for baked potatoes, cups of soup then home-made parkin cake. Yum!
