Ohhhh, all these babies rolling! Mary rolls back to front if she's on a surface with a slight tilt or give to it, ie on the bed, or the sofa. But on the floor I get nothing from her! [exasperated emoticon]
You can tell she wants to do it, but can't quite figure it out.
Out of curiosity, how do your babies sleep (back, front, side) and how/when did they first roll? I'd have thought that Mary might have figured out the front to back by now, as she sleeps on her front, and has very good support pushing herself up to look around. And if I put her on her back (ie changing mat) she'll wave her legs around and kind-of roll, but if I put her on the floor, she just looks at me as if to say 'not today Mum!'
Hi clumsy I was thinking of training in a couple of month's time - I need to scrape some cash together first. My doula directed me to Nurturing Birth as that's who she trained with, but doula.co.uk also have lists of courses available too.
I'd probably pick NB as the lady who runs them does the whole lot over 3 day intensive courses, and she holds them in various locations. I'm thinking about offering to host a session, as there's a discount for the host...!
saiorse Mary was so ratty this afternoon; she yelled all the way to get DH from work, and she only shut up when I clambered in the back of the car and stuck my finger in her mouth - she won't accept a dummy for more than about 5 mins. Good in some ways, and annoying in others! :o
We give her a bath in the evening - our routine is from 5.30, she gets evening solids, then a bath, then fresh nappy/babygrow, into her sleeping bag, then a story (and sometimes a bible story or prayer from DS) then final milk feed, and she's (usually) out by 6.30, 7 at the latest. Provided she isn't disturbed when we go to bed, she'll sleep through till about 6 the next morning.
Sometimes she'll wake at 12-1ish though. Those nights kill me, as I take a tablet last thing at night to help with my hands, and it makes me very sleepy!
