thumper it sounds like what lo was going through at that age we're pretty sure it was teething combined with night terrors, it lasted just over a month with him so I hope Billy goes through it a lot quicker

I agree night terrors or separation anxiety. M's sleep went haywire at 12 months, right when I was returning to work. She was like a newborn waking throughout the night. It was hell.

Jen- good luck with radio interviews. I've had two lots of media training with work and have done some radio for work and I absolutely hate it. Thus far I've refused all offers do TV.

We're back to using flips at night along with a new Easyfit. I want my Hansel & Gretel one to arrive...

Thanks ladies. He's sleeping next to me in bed. I didn;t even bother putting him in the cot tonight. Saves me having to move when he wakes up I hate the thought of him having night terrors I hope it passes quickly whatever it is.

M- I love the Hansel and Gretel TB. I've seriously considered hand washing it a fewtimes now as I hate to wait for it to be washed!

I think the only media appearence I've had was when I was a student and the local TV station (Grampian) would pay people to be in the audience of a terrible Kilroy type show. You even got some food before so it was a great afternoon for a hard up student. They never let me speak though!

Dident think this warranted it's own thread since it's just a moan but I'm starting to get fed up of people going on about Niamh still being in our room. Why is it such an issue? she goes to bed in her cot between 7-8, all we have to do is give her a dummy and put her down and she goes to sleep on her own with in 10 mins. Some nights she sleeps all the way through, some nights she wants in with us about 4 but she's straight back to sleep (most of the time) in our bed.

Why is it such a problem?

Dunno but my nearly 3 year old still climbs in with us some nights. I must admit, I'd rather she didn't but we're trying to convince her that her bed is the best place to bed. Some nights she gets 'scared by the cookie monster' and needs to come in.

This morning she woke up at 5:45am and rolled in and told me that 'I might be scared of Daddy's bathrobe'. Right....

So that's what you could be looking forward to. i must admit it was an amusing, albeit way too early, start to the day.

well mc has now started to wake in the night again screaming walked into our room at 3am saying that someone had got his fire engine took me hlf hr to get him asleep in his bed again!

I really don't get the problem people have with it! I slept in my parents room until I was 5 and wanted to be in my own room and I turned out fine!! don't worry about what people say, people are usually threatened or wary of anything different to what they personally do so don't bother trying to make everyone happy, it doesn't exist!

Just ordered 5 freetimes in the both prints and the 3 new colours. Can't wait to get them. Planning on using them on Sundays for now, since he's at nursery m-f and his dads on Saturday. If it goes well for a few weeks then i'll get another load so he can use them on Saturdays too.

One day a week better than none, right?

Hope his bum copes ok with switching between cloth and sposies though :/

omg I feel so lost..I havent been here in so long
