Dinner tonight sounds great! I m hoping to post again soon - once i ve settled back to London routines. My mac n cheese recipe is quick and easy if u like.. http://bighungryfamily.blogspot.com/2011/06/macaroni-cheese.html you can change the cheese to what u have at home. Bon appetit x

Steak and chips sounds great. There is also this blog I started writting once I had my LO a few months ago. It includes quick and easy recipes as well as some BLW recipes. http://www.bighungryfamily.blogspot.com/ Hope you find it helpful. :) x

I have decided that it is probably a variety of different factors all affecting her at the moment... Teething, developmental leaps, growth spurts, heat, lighter evening etc. Will try and alleviate them one at a time and hope for the best! Thank you for your input! :)

Update on the situation: she has now graduated to nightmnare all the time... refusing to nap in the day and is still waking at night... Have no idea what to do! Feeling exhausted...

Hellosailor - It is pretty much exactly as you say - we used to get her to sleep on us for ages, then try and put her down and she would wake up and scream! I never fed her in the night (aside from the dreamfeed) during that time. Have only started feeding her at night for the last 2-3 nights as she woke up so frequently and nothing else seemed to work. (After we had 2-3 pretty good weeks). Interesting what you say about the wonderweeks. maybe She is hitting the 26 week development leap a little earlier (she is 22 weeks now)? Not sure! I do hope it passes fairly quick though (she hasn't had such a bad night since she was 2 weeks old!).

I am not sure it is teeth this time... SHe has been teething on and off for the past couple of months, but this time seems different. Last night she screamed (and I fed her) at 8.30, 9.45, 12, 3, 4.30 and this morning at 8. She never used to wake up crying in the morning. SHe did this mornign and after the feed she was back to her bubbly smiley self... Hellosailor - What I described in my first post as the first bout of difficulty with sleep a few weeks ago was at 18 weeks and EXACTLY as you describe. More difficult and clingy in the day and would wake up more often in the night - but I didnt feed her and she went back down. We ended up having to always hold and craddle her to sleep before attempting quietly to put her in her cot without waking, or she would scream again. It passed at around week 20 on its own and we now have this new thing! COuld it be the 6month growth spurt a little earlier?!

Hello all. I haven't often writen on this forum, but I am starting to hit a bit of a wall... My LO is 22 weeks old and in general has been a fairly easy baby. A few weeks ago she became more difficult with going to sleep (naps and bedtime) but that got much better again for a couple of weeks without much intervention... She normaly sleeps from 7.30ish to 7.30ish with a 10.30 dreamfeed (yes I know I have had it very easy!). For the past 3-4 nights she takes ages to go to sleep - it often takes a good hour or more. She then wakes up around 9.30 screaming, then again around 11 and again around 12-1 and wakes up much earlier in the morning (this morning was 5.30). When she does wake up in the night she is inconsolable and only feeding seems to sooth her... Can she be hungry hourly? Is it thirst,because of the heat? I don't know how much she is feeding, as I am still breastfeeding and can't really keep track. I am a little concerned that my milk might be running out, but she seems perfectly happy during the day, when she feeds every 3-3.5 hours and only because I offer - she hasn't needed to ask! In the daytime she is a happy, smiley, playfull baby, full of energy and for the last two days didn't cry once - until the nightmare evenings begin! I am very confused...

I found I was getting more and more frustrated watching this! I m pretty speechless at the ignorance really...
