Hi all hope you all had a great weekend.
Steaky think you are right to make him suffer. Can you use skype instead - connection usually very clear I find.
Ann hope you had some rest and a couple of better nights. DS has slept in a grobag pretty much since birth. He has 0.5 tog ones and I think it is good for his sleep association. I also always give him a bath and he now runs to the bathroom saying bath when it is time. DH doesn't generally see him in the evening (but at the moment sees quite a lot of him in the morning as he's still waking at 5am every day) ! I think we've mentioned before about the 7pm thing being quite cultural as here in Asia the working hours are generally a lot longer than in the UK (although balanced out by extremely long lunches and later starts in the morning). But quite a few of my colleagues don't but their LOs down at night till after 9pm and then adapt their daytime routines accordingly. I suppose it is whatever works but I like my evenings too much for that!
DS still being really fussy with food. I am running short of ideas of what to try feeding him next as he seems to change his mind on what he likes every mealtime (sigh). He's also being really really clingy at the moment - when is the worst part of separation anxiety supposed to be over? He really wailed when I left for work this morning.
Mum and Dad arrive tomorrow evening. I think they are going to be amazed at the change in DS - they last saw him when he was 9 months and we were in England . I might get some lie-ins though - yay!
