It sounds like you have worked all of the sleep kinks out. That's so great!!


Haha I wish lol!!  We are getting EW's again and I can't figure out why.  I think OT.  We are also having feeding issues that are stressing me a bit.  I sometimes feel so frustrated that when you sort one thing (naps for example) something else goes haywire  :-\  I suppose its part of being a mummy!!

When I say play with her, I mean basically she has her feed (DH always gives her her last feed) so when she is finished her bottle, we sit her upright on his knee and we talk to her or sing a few songs.  Its all very low key but we also don't like putting her right to bed after a 8oz (more like 4oz these days!) bottle.  We just sit with her and make her try to keep her relaxed then take her into her room and keep her upright for another 5 mins so will sway etc.  Put her into sleeping bag and then into her cot.  This is usually enough but for the 1st hour she is still sometimes sick  :(.  So a lot of singing softly and swaying so its quite a long wind down but as most of it is not in her room, she does not seem to get as frustrated!!

Hope that helps  ;D
