Kirsty stayed in her cot ALL night lastnight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

We took the buggy out of her room before taking her up to bed last night and made sure she was able to look about and see it was gone, but without us mentioning it. No idea if that made a difference or if it was just coincidence. She woke up around 1am, DH went in and laid her down, he said she was very sleepy, he stayed there a minute or 2, then just edged out and came to bed.

She slept on until I got her up at 7am

She has an awful cough though, poor baby. Her nose is worse than a running tap so I’m hopeful this is the cold coming out of her now.

Thank goodness we lowered the cot base last week…. I went to get Kirsty just now as she wouldn’t settle for her nap…..

Of course, this is yet another obstacle in the way of daytime napping *sigh*

It saddened me to do it as it just confirms how fast Kirsty is growing, but we lowered the cot base this morning.

I put Kirsty up for a nap and realised she wasn’t planning napping in her cot so I went up to get her to take her out a walk… she was sitting up, feet hanging out through the bars, holding onto the top and thinking “hmmm wonder if I can pull up here”….

lil minx!!!

Urgh I’m about driven to distraction!!! Kirsty is good at going to sleep by herself in her cot, however she rolls onto her tummy and sticks her leg(s) through the bars and gets stuck, it hurts and she cries.

Kirsty has just drank 4oz (2oz BM & 2oz aptimal formula) from the Breastflow bottle  She just got up from her nap at 4pm and was hinting towards booby, so I knew I had 2oz of BM in the fridge, and mixed it up to4oz with the aptimal – she seems to be better with the aptimal than SMA as I’ve been using Aptimal in her food the last week. She guzzled it all! Clever girl! This is fab as I’m feeling ready to wean her from the breast but she just wasn’t for taking any bottles at all!

Also yesterday & today she has drank a good amount from her sippy cup!! Yesterday teatime she had a good amount of apple & orange juice (I hadn’t wanted to introduce juice so early but if it gets fluids into her, then so be it!), and again today after breakfast and with lunch she had more juice!!

And for the past week or so, she has been willing to go into her cot for an afternoon sleep!! Typically she will sleep 2 hours in her cot!! Such a change from screaming anytime we attempted to place her for a sleep in her cot!!

Such milestones!!
