Room sharing update

It seems to have worked well! I've got the bedtime routine sorted - read them both a story on Jamie's bed, say goodnight to him and take Daisy to our room to feed her, then take her back in and put her in the cot - by which time, Jamie should be asleep.

We did have a bad week recently, where Daisy woke at around midnight, I went in and fed her as usual, and then she screamed blue murder when I tried to put her back down. Proper, hysterical screaming that no amount of controlled crying or shhh-patting would put an end to. We ended up having to carry Jamie into our room so he could sleep in our bed with Wayne, while I slept in his bed with Daisy. This went on for about 10 nights and we thought we were never going to be able to break the habit and get us all back in the right beds, but *fingers crossed* for the last 2 nights, she's only woken once at about 3am, and has settled quickly after a feed. Going from 7.30pm to 3am is the longest continual stretch she's slept for in...ooooh, about a year!! Long may it continue...who knows, maybe one day soon she'll actually sleep through the night!
