Routine question I guess? She also asked what contraception I was using. I pointed to the sleep dodger in her car seat. Sleep dodger + abscess = highly effective contraception thanks very much although wouldn't recommend

Yes, PF! Mine has regained some control thanks to increasing to 3x per day of doing long and short ones. I am so happy! Just for the scar to fucking heal now! And the feeling of when and how much I need to pee needs to come back too!

I will probably give it another week. It is just the fussiness again that is making me see warning signs.

It is hard to see regression, as this is constant for us, with ups and downs.

And it seems to be related to the reflux and if he has had a bad refluxy day, it will be a bad night too.

Regression has popped it's ugly nose in and out of our lives for weeks now. Just when I think it's fucked off, it sneaks back in and says "boo" at 2am and 3, 4 and 5am too

Same here bigpig She keeps fooling me into thinking we are out the other side, and then she goes back to waking every hour or so again.

I am expecting a lousy night, as she got so tired this afternoon but just wouldn't sleep - resulting in a complete melt down at 6ish. She is now asleep on me but is quite restless. I'm going to head up to bed and see what happens. I am about at the end of my rope.

I think J just has lactose intolerance secondary to the lactose overload. I do not think he has a problem with CMPI. I am hoping he will be fine on regular formula in a few weeks, but want him on solids first before I start fiddling with his formula again.

He took his prune juice like a pro today, and wanted more. Lip smacking! Still only a tiny poo. Hope he does a huge one tomorrow.

Pennie I wouldn't have the first clue how to get F to sleep without the power of boob. Not the foggiest. Nothing else works. Am off to bed now - fingers and toes crossed.

pass hope you are feeling a bit better tonight x

Bollocking shitbag. The stuff I want for M from Next for her holidays is sold out. All the stuff in the shops are pale pink and girly, I want bright or funky. There were three rompers I wanted, 2 sold out and 1 available in 5 weeks.

kirrin bplp pennie On the feeding to sleep front, I fed DD1 to sleep for two years plus and she eventually learnt to go to sleep without it. If I wasn't there, she would fall asleep without boob. What I'm trying to say, I think, is that I wouldn't worry about it too much as they do get there in time. Finding it hard to construct a sentence at the moment however as DD2 was awake for most of last night. Here's to some sleep tonight. X

Evening all, expect I've missed a load, I've read but not had time to post. I am rubbish.

Welcome back gt!

Hope your night is miraculously ok kirrin sounds like you really need it

Welcome back gt

I'm dreading tonight already :( oh how I wish he would sleep through again. I live in hope that as chasing said if he's done it once he will do it again!

Which ones Fatima?

Ok, found one! The red and white romper one? That one said 5 weeks on it. I'll keep an eye out in store.

It is worth trying to order in store, as believe it or not, they are separate companies, and I've been able to get stuff ordered in store that isn't available through the directory, and visa versa.

I think I found the others. Total stalker!. Will keep eyes open :)

fatima links and sizes? There are lots of people here who could keep an eye on their local next for you. I'm always keen on a reason for a walk and into town is always a good stretch.

Bonsoir.

Thanks vq I feel much better. It is hugely cruel and ironic that I of the champion sleeping baby cannot sleep. I am really suffering now. I think I get about 3-4 hours of decent then am awake pretty much every half an hour. I feel like I should be dancing on the roof tops as theoretically I should be getting 8 hours. But no.

Anyway. I am all fine.

The next few weeks will be planning for operation sleeping in own room. Watch this - I will plan meticulously for the next 6 weeks, stressing myself daft and she will sleep in her cot no problem.

Doh! Ewan sound drunk. Ewan the drunken sheep harpist. We had a harpist at out wedding. Was lovely. Pupil of mine. He wasn't drunk. Ewan would have been cheaper. Less charming though.

Well that went spectacularly wrong. He woke up. Tried putting him in cot to self settle. Did NOT work. He's now awake ans crying. DH away in to calm him. I reckon I'll end up boobing to sleep tho!

Thanks for the offers of looking, if anybody is going in to Next then that'd e fab.
These are the two that are sold out
two pack
spot and stripe
Size wise, she's just going in to 3-6 months so that'd fit for her hols I'd think or 6-9 and then they'd fit over the summer.

I've been in to 3 different Nexts and they all have the same things in. And the 0-18 month girls just seem to be pale pink, little flowers and tutus.
Might have a look in the boys section for some bright colours

I know that the second one is grey so not exactly bright, but I like the style

Yes detective the red and white was the other one, you know me so well

Any suggestions for other shops with similar things also greatly received

I got them spot on.

Not called Detective for nowt.

Have you looked in the older girls stuff? I can link you a few things I've spotted.

Second wake up already. Fuck.
