liz, phoebe has been in her own room since she was 6 weeks, i did exactly the same with oliver. she instantly slept a lot longer as soon as i put her in there, probably because we weren't disturbing her. i think it's better to do it whilst they're still quite young that way they don't really notice the change.
if you're worried you could always keep the moniter on.
i've also recently started putting her down for naps in her cot, rather than her bouncey chair in the living room.
ooh i bet your eager to find out for definate Liz.
Becki is at the opposite end of our room and sleeps 8:30 til 7:30. we are in the attic room so to put her in her own room would mean she is on the floor below
Oooooh liz what are you like i hope you get the result you want.... but no more for me lol...
Alls good here very hectic Lucy has had her first injections this morning she screamed bless her but seems to off settled although she had a reaction to the micropore bless her! Also tried her on normal formula again & well gp said to put her back onto Wysoy as she never kept a bottle down for 2 days... Apart from this all is well I guess... Just busy busy lol
I hope everyones ok sorry for the lack of personals but got to take Joel to nursery then i can do some paperwork
take care Joanne x

Just a quickie to check in and keep you updated! Went back to work on Monday so have been really busy and tired. It was hard leaving Caitlin but she seems to be fine with our nanny.
She had her 3 month check on Friday and everything is fine. She is now 13lb 10 1/2 oz. She is a really happy baby and has settled into a really nice day and night routine. I was very naughty and started her on some baby rice though. I just give her a little before she goes to bed and she seems to really enjoy it. Have had no adverse reactions so far so will kepp her on just rice until she is 4 months and then introduce some more foods. I only did it because she seemed really hungry and she never drinks lots of milk. It is so hot here that I amtrying to get her to drink water too but she's not impressed!
Hope everyone is well and will be back when time allows!
hi all! yeah, think its a good idea to move Harvey now, will speak to DH about it and its a good idea to leave the monitor on Karly! I think its me that is more upset about moving him but its for his own good,as Iv said he is getting used to it already!
Yeah I am eager to find out! no point in keep buying tests tho! too early I think, it will just cost me a fortune to keep buying them, but I do feel the same and not too sure that it would be such a bad thing to be honest ,
Poor lucy! nasty injections!¬ it breaks your heart doesnt it!? hope she is ok and not too grumpy foryou!
really proud of myself too lol sorted childcare tax out today yey!! (finaly got around to it) and like they say every little helps lol!
gonna go now, the neighbours are gonna think iv cracked up, im home alone and just watched big brother and luke jumped across the room, I was laughing so loud !! :P
oh i do go on!! sorry
soeak soon liz xx

Hope evreyone is doing well, Kirsteen I dont even want to think about when I have to get back to work....
Karl happy belated Birthday to Oliver, what a big boy now!!
Liz good luck, when are you planning on doing the test?
Joanne, those jabs are always awful, good thing is that they dont remember them for long.
Monkey hope you and becki are doing well.
All ok here, no change, Ella still feeding every 2 hours, we also have a routine, she wakes up at 6, goes to sleep at 8, wakes up 10 or 11, sleeps then for another hour and then awake till 5 pm and naps till bath time.
I am running out of ideas what to do with ella when I am at home alone, cant really do much at home as I have to be with her, and apart from walking around, playmat,mobile, signing and talking to her I am not too sure what else to do. Do u girls sit with your baby the whole time at home or do stuff around the house ?? and what happens to the baby?
Gosia, Kirsteen glad to hear all is well. Poor you having to go back to work.
Gosia i leave Becki on her mat sometimes and do some jobs or lately she likes the tv so she is allowed half hour in the morning and half hour in the evening of Tigger and Pooh or Bear in the big blue house on play disney channel. She will happily sit in her chair and watch me clean in the other rooms or will watch out the window in the lounge.
Gosia I work & run the house its hard i tend to spend lots of time with joel & lucy playing though & tend to do my housework when they are both settled after 10pm, so its a long day luckily for me lucy sleeps from 11 til 6 most nights. I also take them on walks which they both love..... So when do you go back to work then Gosia...
I really do need a holiday anyone got any suggestions lol
got to dash lucy kicking off!!!

just a quick one, wanted to just drop in hope everyone is doing well. Eisa still teeething nightmare with feeds, but i have started to wean him as he is nearly four months he is not keen on baby rice but loves porridge and rusks.... so weaning going well. i have also been giving him papaya, sweet potato, which he likes. will not have banana which is surprising...
karly the rice is taking some getting used to.
liz how are the streatch marks going has anything made any difference, have u tried the gram flour?
had eisa weighed on thursday 17lb 3 oz which i was happy with....
Going to see the photos at venture 2moro, will try my best not to make us bankrupt, dh not coming as he will not be able to say no, so i will just try to control myself.....
take care will log on again pref at a decent hour just trying to deal with eisa's teething.... lol long night ahead....

Liz that is unbelivable, I wouldnt have the energy to do half the things you do..... wow Going back to work at end of august, I have already had a few nights of crying as it feels so terrible to know i wont see my angel for the whole day.....
Monkey what chair do you put Becki on ? like a baby chair, does it have toy things on it?
Hi monkey, thank you for the help, these chairs are v expensive here, do you know up to what month they can use them and up to what weight, I dont want to spend money on it to find out that Ella can only use it for a month or so...
gosia bouncey chairs generally go up to about 20lbs or to when the baby can sit up unaided which is usually about 5-6months. i really reccomend them we have one upstairs and one downstairs they are honestly worth their weight in gold!
do you have eBay in south africa? maybe you could get one off there cheap?
sophie hope you had fun at venture today, did you get many pics
kirsteen, good to hear from you hun sounds like caitlin is doing really well, baby rice too what a big girl.
liz how is harvey getting on in his own room? i am so loving big brother, having a big catch up today as have it all on sky plus, can't believe they kicked dennis out i thought he was fab, good riddence to sylvia though, i hear she got 90% of the votes on friday..
it was olivers birthday party yesterday and it went really well. we hired a bouncey castle for the garden and had a bbq, it was a very hectic day but the kids enjoyed it and it didn't rain so i was pleased with that. my house is like a toy shop now though need to find somewhere to put it all!
phoebe is doing well, she it a lot better at bringing up wind now and so doesn't cry nearly as much as before and settles herself to sleep a lot better too, yippee! dunno what she weighs right now i'm getting her weighed on thursday.
