Oh and @genevieve_simperingham re school- she is fairly bonded with both her teachers, but is lacking in close friendships and has even been spending her lunch breaks playing alone many days. So I also appreciated your suggestion about play dates… this has not been possible with staying at my parents’ house but as soon as we get our own place…[Read more]

Hi there, I’d love a little help with my 6 year old please!
She is a very soft and sensitive soul and prone to feel absolutely everything (which is both lovely and incredibly hard). She tended to have quite a few melt downs in the past, but this year they have gone off the hook. We moved cities at the start of the year and she started primary…[Read more] -

Hi @genevieve_simperingham, Hi @mrodney,
Sorry it’s taken me a while to reply. What can I say- school holidays!
I’m pleased to report things have gotten much much better since I last posted. Yay for crying in arms! We now sleep mostly for 3 or even 4 hour stretches at night! And last night that even continued once we got to around that 5am…[Read more] -

Hi again, well we are very up and down at the moment! I still think baby is more settled from the crying in arms BUT we are still having a LOT of crying… about the same every night, without it decreasing much, which starts to make me doubt if it’s the right thing at times. Is there an amount of time that would be considered too long? It’s…[Read more]

Thank you all so much for the responses- it is so good to feel supported!
Tabitha- No not a new thing unfortunately and I have almost no allergens in my diet (vegetarian, dairy free, gluten free and soy free). I’m pretty sure it’s comfort thing rather than any physical discomfort.In fact… this article……[Read more]

Hi there, I’m back here with baby #2 (now 4 and a half months), who I assumed would sleep better than baby #1. I was so wrong! While #1 was very sensitive & never wanted to go to sleep (and still doesn’t at almost 6 yrs!), this one will pretty much only sleep attached to me or in the car and even then not for long without waking and only while…[Read more]
