Thanks Naya, I am definitely starting too :-) yesterday we even overslept slightly but thankfully not enough to make my son late for school lol!
Hi, sorry it's been a while but it's been a busy summer with the kids off school. Bella did well for a while but then went backwards, so after two...
Hi, definitely sounds like you have been luckier with Bailey. Bella has been great the last few days, my husband has gone down at 6.15 and she has...
So it's been a few days, we completely blacked out the room on day 1 and she still woke at 5, the next evening we took her out for a later walk...
Not sure which is worse the barking or the lack of sleep! We tried doing the calm toilet break at 5am and putting her back to bed a few weeks ago...
