Naps - WWYD?

Typically Kirsty's day is:
6/6:30am: wake up
noon-ish: nap for 1.5hrs
7/7:30pm: bedtime

Usually she may take up to 20mins to fall asleep at naptime and pretty quick at bedtime, like 10mins or less.

Lately she is in her cot for an hour or more at "naptime" before she falls asleep, and it involves a lot of her throwing her nankie (comfort blanket) and dummy out as she knows I have to go back up and give them back (she wont fall asleep without them). She threw her dummy a while ago so I went in and just said "no dummy, you threw it away" and came away and left her for 5mins without. Went back and gave it back to her and she hasn't thrown it since. However she is still awake!

This has been going on for a while, initially I cut her nap back to 1.5hrs as it used to be 2hrs and that helped for a bit. but this is just a joke now. I'm done with fighting naptime. She can't cope without a nap though. If she doesn't nap, she's a terror by 3pm. WWYD? Push it forward and shorten again or just cut it out all together and try to muckle through with horrid days until she *hopefully* learns to cope??

I think we have said bubye to....

.... bedtime bottle. YEY but My bubby is growing up!

She hasn't had dairy since Tuesday and therefore no bottle at bedtime. She hasn't asked for it and we haven't offered. But I don't plan on offering it again. How would you deal with bottle requests if she happens to ask for it again when she is better??

If she is ok overnight tonight I'm going to reintroduce her cup of milk at brekkie tmor. Is 1 cup of milk per day enough? Approx 7oz? Or when else is best to offer another cup of milk?

Sicky Smell!!!

How can I get rid of sicky smell off my carpets?! Kirsty was sick in her room in 2 spots and also on the rug in the living room... it stinks!!!

I have tried fairy liquid & water... what else?

Just had the BIGGEST fright of my entire life

Kirsty started coughing about 10mins ago, and gagging, so I went up to see if I could re-settle her. As I opened the door she was on her hands/knees in her cot and started crying, there was what I thought was blood all over her sheet, and lumps of blood.... fecking panicked soooo much, hubby came running upstairs, kirsty screaming, pulled the sheet off her mattress and remembered she ate blueberries today.

She sicked up due to coughing, yet again. I'm so fed up of this, there HAS to be something the docs can do to help. I'm phoning first thing tmor to get her seen. Poor thing got such a fright with me yelling  

Never been so scared in all my life.

On no!!!!! stupid mummy :((

Kirsty has eaten 1 and a bit slices of toast and a few bites of banana, plus about half a cup of water - self fed - that was about half hour ago. She just came up to sit beside me and I could smell sick, thinking it must be on her jammies but it was on her hands!!!!!!! It's deffo from last night, I never thought to check her hands!!!!

Urgh!!! Can't believe I never washed her hands thoroughly before she ate!!!!!!!!!!! I've washed them now with anti-bac soap.

Given that she's touched her food/cup - is it possible to re-infect herself??

Poor baby :(

Kirsty threw up during dinner last night, quite a lot so I guess it emptied her tummy. She ate a slice of toast before bed (we weren't sure at that point that it was a bug, wondered if she choked and vomited), she took her bottle fine at bedtime, slept all night (her cough is back ), and woke up this morning with like a mouthful of sick on her jammies/matress.

I started being sick/diar around 5am so I knew then we had a bug. Stewart hasn't managed to get to work as we've had more snow, thankfully, so he is helping me. He offered her toast and a tiny bit milk at breakfast, she took the milk but no toast. She was sick a wee while later. We haven't offered any more food since but she just asked for a biscuit... What do you do? If they ask for food do you let them?

Not sure what to do about lunch She's had a tiny bit water just now and a biscuit, hopefully she keeps it down. SHe's just snuggled with dummy and nankie and watched tv all morning
