Jo and Judy - I love the pics. And well done Judy, was it an earlier bedtime than you had been giving the girls? Did you keep waking expecting to hear them? I know I do sometimes.
I can't scroll back far enough to see who suggested I get a remote for Daniel's music. We actually bought a mobile with a remote for that very reason, but you have to point it directly at the mobile for it to work. (otherwise I'd be doing it from bed and not even have to get cold!). So we've moved the music part of the mobile and sat it on his bookcase by the door so I don't have to go in, that definitely helps. I tried wrapping Daniel again tonight, but it was hopeless. I just couldn't. So that's it, no more wrapping. I'll just have to deal with the night wakings if they happen with his music and hoping he'll self settle. Otherwise I might have to start PUPD. :cry:
Ankie, isn't it devastating when the magic boob doesn't work?!? I had that the other morning, I felt helpless, it's always worked! To help prevent the separation anxiety starting, does your hubby get Arwyn out of bed after naps when he's home even if you're there? If my DH is home then I'm 'not allowed' to get Daniel out of bed. Also, sometimes DH puts Daniel down for naps and night sleeps, just so he's not only used to me doing it.
I keep changing my mind about when to get Daniel up in the morning, but tomorrow I'm going to try feeding him at 5ish when he wakes, putting him back down and then getting him out of bed at 7am. Then keep him up about 2.5-3hours and see what happens. I decided I'd rather start conditioning his body to those times, not like thismorning's 6am start and back in bed at 7.30am. That sort of timing just makes everything too early. I think the reason he's been getting soooo upset is that I was trying to put him back to bed way to early. Perhaps after 12hours sleep he can stay awake 3 hours. I guess I'll know by this time tomorrow night!
See you later.
