He slept through the night!!
I know Bren is a bit behind a lot of your los in terms of sleeping but last night for the first time he slept through from 9:30pm to 7am!!!!! I was so impressed! 
Particularly as he took a while to settle as he was so squirmy he kept kicking his blankets off so I thought I was in for bad night.
Regardless to say I was awake pretty much on the hour from 3am onwards worrying whether he was ok or not!! Can't win can we!!
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it wasn't just a fluke! x

Liz - i still wake up and check on Amy in the night and she's been sleeping through since 7 weeks - we certainly can't win them all!

Hope this is the start of more sleep for you Liz. I'm hoping that now I'm weaning and upping lo from 1 ff to 2 ff a day that my panda eyes might go down a little.
I was just thinking yesterday I'm suprised that I haven't broken more things [eg plates, glasses] and then today I've burnt my finger on my ghd staightners : (

El, fingers crossed your lo sleeps through soon. Sounds like you are at about the same stage as me with upping formula and weaning so maybe it will do the trick? Even just the odd night would be a bonus wouldn't it! x
Hope he's sleeping thru soon. Although Gracie doesn't want a night feed, she's been waking and coming into our bed for the last mth with a bad cold. Cos she can't breathe she can't settle and we can be awake for a while. Today it's hit me...I'm more tired now than when I was feeding her 3x a night!
Please send cold-zapping vibes my way and I'll send lullaby-waves to Oakley!
El - It must be awful hearing people going on about their lo's sleeping all night - I know we are lucky that Cole ususally does well at night and I try not to complain when he does wake up..even if I felt like a zombie on friday when he woke 6 times!
el, im the same, im bit envious of everyone gettin better sleep. ryan used to go straight back afternight feeds but now stirs all night and wants to sleep on my chest. he had a crappy night last night so i kicked oh onto couch and had him in bed wit me. after keeping him up all day today and drawing out bed time he has just gone to sleep, on his own in his cotbed snuggling a giraffe and i gave him formula for his last feed. some of u might have read about me tryin to stop bf but im such a loser at it i always give up.
have also stopped the food and am going to only give a little baby rice at 4 as i dont think he is digesting it properly and is constantly constipated. hope this all helps his night times. for my sake!!
Liz - I'm hoping it happens a few more times even if it's not every night.
Kia - I know how it feels when your lo throws you a curb ball. Up 6 times sounds awful. I think you just always think the grass is greener. - When Oakley was 2 weeks and was literally awake all night I use to think if only you'd sleep I don't mind you waking up for a feed but just sleep inbetween. - And now he does and I want more.
Ali - LOL it must be weird to look down at your belly see a burn and not feel it. But more to the point what was she doing ironing after she'd had a baba!?! I'm still not doing it now 15 weeks later!

As for ironing... who does ironing? Not me! I very rarely iron..and I make sure to buy work clothes that don't need ironing. I'm just waiting for Cole to get bigger and my mother to start harping ona bout how his clothes should be ironed... she has long since given up going on at me to iron tshirts. i thinkshe has an ironing fetish...she even irons my dads boxers!
My mate burnt herself about 18mth after having her lo, she was still numb - strange feeling!?
well my lo is a bit behind in everything as at the moment he can't see and until i know whether it is temp or permanent it makes it hard for me to get my head around, it used to upset me hearing how excited all other mums were when baby was copying faces, smiling in mirror and at them etc but i'm over it and he's just a lovely little boy and his smiles were all the more special when they appeared about 3 weeks ago. he doesn't roll yet and hasn't gone throught the night, i tend to have to get up once unless i'm really unlucky and then it's about 3 times! ff last thing seems to make a difference though! but i love hearing how everyone's doing and although each baby is different i think it lets you get a rough idea of when things start to happen and it tends to be more accurate than these endless books we get!
Bryn still hasn't rolled over - I know he will at some point but at the moment he is far happier sitting up in his chair or on my lap so I'm not going to push him.
Waiting4baby - Sorry to hear that.... when will you know whether it is permanent or not?
Em x
Waiting4baby - really hope it is just a temporary problem with your los sight. Have they given a reason as to why it has happened? xx
as for his smile yes i love it i have taken so many pictures, it's so nice to see the emotion now as in the beginning i used to say ' he doesn't smile but i know if he could right now, he would be!' if there was even a hint of enjoyment in his face whereas now, there's no question, he'll get away with everything with that smile me thinks, i'll have to control my meltdowns for when he tries to use them to his advantage later on in life heehee!
still not sleeping through though tsk, he loves me rolling him over, just so long as i roll him back, tummy time is not on his wish list and sitting up seems to be his mission at the moment.
Cole laughs sometimes now.. its a really funny noise!!
