Quote from: SA Chris on February 25, 2011, 09:27:24 amMore a question for the docs than the dads, but seeing as most on here are both..Kyle has MMR jab booked for this afternoon, but developed conjunctivitis on Tuesday had to stay at home Wednesday and has antibiotic drops from the doc. Eyes seem to have cleared up now, but still on the drops.Is this any reason to delay him getting the injections? I know it not a good idea to let him have innoculations unless he is healthy? Otherwise he is fine, apart from the usual snotty nose. Are we just being paranoid?Appreciated that this is just opinion and won't hold anyone to it.Thankscold tea bags to wipe the eye clean of crap , repeat until clears up, Ludo had it the other week

I like to think its just a phase, but then, everything is at this age isn't it!

Good or Bad, everything's just a phase.We weaned straight to solids at 6 months too, skipped all that applying gloop and mush to his face in the offchance he might actually swallow some of it, really worked for us.
FOod is just something to play with and explore at that stage.

Going to wean straight onto solids at 6 months so not really an option at present.I think you're right Chris, its not about the food, more about the comfort, self settling is the longer term answer, although we move house on Thursday so think we'll start that next week!

cheers we were waking up then refeeding before, but she started to settle (albeit for only 2 or 3 hours) so we stopped that. Maybe time to start that, and clusterfeeding again too.Definitely think you could be right on the dependency on a feed at night, she only settles when fed...Good link too.. think it's the long haulhmmm.
My daughter is a rubbish sleeper. She didn't sleep through until she was about 14 months, and even now (20 months) sleeping through is only about 8-10 hours rather than the recommended 12. For some reason she doesn't want as much sleep as other kids. 2-3 hours was a good stretch for her, and she normally ended up in our bed, just so we got some sleep. In the end we got fed up with being nice to her and got mean. Unfortunately, that meant I had to do all the work as mum meant food. After about 3 days of me putting her back to sleep all through the night, she eventually cracked and started sleeping much better. She hasn't had a night-time feed since. Admittedly, she's older than yours who will probably still want a feed, but I wish that I'd taken the tough approach earlier with mine.
