yup lovely snow, its actually quite nice DS's first snow :d but it comes and goes :( so no snowmen for sure!
Lis, I am sure you miss the white stuff, I am guessing you don't get any..or do you?....I hear Athens does....

Things are not to bad in some ways, only 1 NW around 4/4:30, not for feed, but I think it has to do with a full nappy and start of hunger pangs, but PD WI/WO is working or so I think.

But loads of inconsistent EW anything from 6am to 7:45am...so the rest of the day is getting a bit wonky, but hey at least the NW are getting fixed :D

Thanks for asking.

btw Vicku, how on earth did you get time to plant? My garden looks like a desert since DS came along!
9 and 6, oh boy!

It wasn't me who planted  ;)  they were all in when we moved in 1st December... I wouldn't have had time either  ;D

Glad NWs have been ok. EW could be due to transition to 1 nap.x

Yes ,we did have snow in February here actually - for 2 days :o It is unusual tho.
At least your garden looks like a desert Mukta - mine is a jungle of weeds :( Thinking of paying a gardener to come and clear it and then I will really try to keep on top of it. That was the plan last year too......... sigh!
And at least if your gardens are covered in snow they look tidy ;D

1 NW is still really good going Mukta ;) The EWs will probably sort themselves out once DS has transitioned once and for all. We are having EWs too ::)

snow again here....last day of a long weekend and homebound LO :(

Actually need some advise as well, DS promptly wakes up at 4:15/4:30 with a cry, his nappy is pretty full then so I change nappy plug back pacifier and then within minute of moaning groaning he is back to sleep. Not sure if this is a NW because of habit or nappy change. But this routine has been on a for some time now.

So was wondering if anyone had thoughts on how to deal with this, should I just wake up at 3:30 and change his nappy in anticipation so break the 4:15/30 habit? or just let it be ? I don't mind it but just wary of AP and habits..now that I am a tad bit smarter :D
9 and 6, oh boy!

When you say a full Nappy, is it just wet?  When Alex's nappy is really wet I realise that it;s time to change to a larger size, also have a look around to ensure that you are using the best possible type for night time wakings.  If that doesn;t work then you could try W2S at 3ish  :-\
Awaiting further advice though.  :-\

Hi mari,

Thanks for these thoughts. His nappy is just very very wet. We are using the extended wear, so extra dry ones and he is already in the larger size, 4+ and is just over 22 pounds so not sure a still bigger size will work....awaiting more advise.

Thanks,
Mukta

When Alex was in a 4+ size I put her in a 5 for the nights and they did keep her dryer.  It's worth a try and even if you do get a small pack, they won't eat or drink as it won't be long before she will be in that size anyway.  :-\

Hi Mukta

Look back at your first posts, you've both come so far  :D  I was going to suggest a bigger nappy too - Nate is also 22lb and has been in a size 5 for a while.  Can you believe my just 9 month old is the same weight as your LO?!  Before Zander was potty trained you could smell the wee soaked nappy the instant you walked in in the morning but we never changed it during the night.

Hi Lis,

A very good morning to you as well. The shots were last night and DS probably scared the life out of the HV he has a tendency to hold his breath when he cries due to the shots! but toys are wonderful things :D, distraction is easy :D

But lats night was horrible, loads of NW with crying poor kid was crying in his sleep and needed a bit of comfort and then the lovely 3-5 wake up but sleep dance was miserable. I'll blame it all on the shot and not enough daytime sleep. lets hope he will be back on track tomorrow.

How are things at your end? Counting weeks to you holiday back home? I do hope I will still be here in London whenyou visit but chances look slim, we might have to move in June :( will keep you updated. I am not looking forward to the move.

Anyways have a great day all.
