This is our last hope of sleep and sanity ;)

Yeah its not easy mate but i bet AB wouldn't go back. My eldest was like AB's little boy until she was 4 1/2. Then the second arrived, and a bomb beside her bed wouldn't wake her.Quote:

Benjamin would just not fall asleep on his own, and would wake up every 40 minutes (sleep cycle) on the dot. This kid was more time accurate than an Olympic stop watch. This went on for about 4-5 months after trying a lot of things... If he had a continued sleep longer than an hour, it was like winnig lotto! Eventually we were on the brink insanity and attempted controlled crying. It worked... for a little while. Then the nightmare returned as he went back to the same routine. We eventually found out he was allergic to dairy, so obviously this has been making him uncomfortable for a long time and we didn't know... So we cut that out and hoped he would now sleep etc... It was not the case.
When he was about a year and a half old (this time last year), we decided it's time for sleep school, after procrastinating on it for a long time... I really hope where your family is going is better then what we went through.
We went to Tweddle sleep school in Footscray. Nice people, nice place but their practices were flawed... We were in this room, and the corridor next to our room had 4 other rooms. So at least 1 kid is crying their lungs out at any given time. So in turn this wakes up the other 4, and it was a viscous cycle for the whole 2 days. Not a single person in there got any sleep whatsoever, and more importantly the kids learnt sweet f*&% all about self settling and re-settling... On the 3rd day 3 families decided this is far worse than at home so we left as well.
Things are now better, but we are co-sleeping for second part of the night. So everyone gets 8-9 hours sleep at least, but we have to wake up sometime during night and go get him and bring him to bed. Co-sleeping was last resort, but it worked!
Hope things work out for you mate.
And then, once you get them to sleep all night, they turn into nasty teenagers and wont wake up...Quote:

There was no be quiet as the baby was sleeping and it worked for us.
Whenever they did wake up and try it on they were spoken to sternly and left to cry themselves to sleep.(Even as babies)
As I said we were lucky that they were both good kids as they took after their Dad LOL
I really wish you didn't mention that. That's where they are now. Tweedle in Footscray!!!Quote:

From what I gathered was they wanted the request to come from the doctor and not

Well well, the GQ heater duct and heater
module designer wasn't a complete
mongrel after all. I had to start stripping
the centre of the dash to retrieve a
silver ring and the inspection camera
hook. With the centre panel out I
was able to undo the bottom
plate off the heater.
The inspection camera revealed
that there is a sort of a catchment
area below the heater core.
I found the ring, the hook, a 12volt
plug, a plastic skeleton foot and
a heap of Beachport sand.
The entry into the catchment is a
bastard to negotiate.
The camera's magnet grabbed
the hook.
I made a vacuum
hose out of 3/8 petrol hose and
taped it to the camera. It easily
sucked up the sand. I added a
larger diameter end, and it
grabbed the plug.
I also made another hook
which grabbed the foot
and the ring.
It took me 7 hours but
it's done. YAY!
So do you think you need to call CSI about the spare foot lolQuote:

Sorry mate. That was our experience. It could be a good outcome though if they are quiet ... So if your family is one of few there. Then they can separate the families and have some distance between occupied rooms.Quote:

I'd be posting in the happy thread as well Mudnut, good job.
shit house mate. Just did skype with Leah and they are having a bad time.Quote:

if this doesn't work my next plan is LeAh stays at her parents house for a week and I'll sort it out with no love and let him cry it out each night until it's programmed in his head that no one is coming to sooth the princess ;)Quote:
