Just looking for sympathy lol...

Its my first day back to work tomorrow after maternity and after weeks of sttn Isobel has been up and down like a yoyo tonight. I haven't actually been to sleep yet and my alarm clock goes off in less than two hours.

No idea what it is, she's not got a fever, nappies are fine and she's had lots of milk. Maybe its a growth spurt. I was feeling really confident about how she'd do at nursery as she coped well with her settling days, now I feel like a mean mummy dropping her off with strangers when she's going to be tired and cranky and possibly not feeling well.

Oh well, it is what it is

sorry to hear, that must be hard. Hopefully she will have a nap at her nursery

Thanks. I got about an hours sleep in the end I think! Early night for me tonight...

On the plus side she did really well on her first day, and did have a nap (this is the girl who for the first 10 months of life wouldn't even nap in her own cot or self settle at bedtime - we've come a long way!). I'm not expecting every day to be easy but today was as good a start as I could've had I think

Wow that's great for the first few days

. I think nursery can be really good with helping them get into a routine. I hope you have a better night tonight !
