Sleep Study
| February 6, 2013 | Posted by Toddling Mad under A mum's life, Sleep |
Back in January we went to the out of hours Doctor with T overnight as she was struggling to breath in her sleep, her stomach was working hard and she was wheezing from the out of hours doctor we were taken by ambulance to hospital and there given a bed for the night to keep… more
How do you sleep?
| January 9, 2013 | Posted by Toddling Mad under Sleep |
How do you sleep it’s a good question isn’t it as a new mum you get asked all the time about your babies but as they get older it’s never really asked about you or them just assumed that you all sleep. I’m one of 2 in 3 people who have bad nights sleep, T… more
Sleep – or not as the case may be
| June 15, 2012 | Posted by Toddling Mad under Sleep |
It’s been a long while since I wrote about the reality of sleep in our house and we’re still not “sleeping through the night” in the way that everyone that asks means. However we are no longer sleeping for only 2 or 3 hours at a time instead we are doing longer and longer stretches.… more
4 hours
| August 17, 2011 | Posted by Toddling Mad under Parenting, Sleep |
Why can’t Tinks go 4 hours between feeds – I keep hearing that as she nears 6 months it will be longer between feeds – we don’t even get a stretch of 4 hours overnight 3 and a half on an evening is our max. During the day an hour and a half is normal… more

Little Tiger will be 2 in a less than 5 days – T was 5 months old on Tuesday and from reading of birth boards of a popular parenting forum as well as talking to my friends it would seem like we locally are in a minority. I’ve heard so many times goes to bed… more
Demise of the daytime nap

Is this it – the daytime nap for Little Tiger is coming to an end I think and fear at the same time. Over the last few weeks it has been harder and harder to get him to nap at any point in the day unless we are on the move or having a very… more
5am is so last week
| July 2, 2011 | Posted by Toddling Mad under Journal, Sleep |
Or so it would appear from Little Tiger’s behaviour the last few days. Yes we have an early riser – we’ve become used to 5am – 5:30am being the norm. Mr Toddlingintomadness gets up with him and they read books at the weekend after a while they go downstairs, have breakfast and watch TV until… more
Establishing a bedtime
| June 19, 2011 | Posted by Toddling Mad under Journal, Parenting, Sleep |
I’ve just been talking with a friend about bedtime for a toddler without the use for Crying it out or controlled crying which I wouldn’t dream of doing and disagree with due to all of the research coming out. Now Tinkerbell has set her own routine (for the moment) she falls asleep after a feed… more
