she gets nothing but cuddles all day the wee toerag  ;) and funnily enough we started peek a boo the other day as she enjoys it now.

She is now 19 weeks old, current A time is 1hr 45 in the morning and i am getting a 30 min nap with that. then i reduce it to 1hr 30 or 20 after a short nap, so the rest of the days is all 30 min naps and 1hr 30 or 20 A times.

The other day was the first 20 min nap in ages, she has reflux but that is under control now, i actually think she is teething as she is dribbling all the time, chewing on anything she can get in her mouth and she keeps slapping the rightr side of her head when she is feeding.

No she's terrible at taking medicine she usually spits it all back at me but it's worth a try. I didn't know you could get ibrufen for babies i assume thats better for teething than calpol?

Yep u can get infant ibuprofen on prescription or OTC from any pharmacy. Def better than paracetamol. It works within 20min and last 6-8hrs. I give at BT and before nap too. It's def worth a try.!
