Went to a talk by a sleep therapist last night, and I feel so much better now. She said to look at your child as a whole, if they are happy and healthy you are doing a great job, and in the scheme of things sleep is only a minor part of the whole.

Re the night tantrums, apparently it's just a phase at this age and you just have to wait for it to be over - there is no strategy, just ride out the storm and comfort them once they let you.

She did also say though that at two their appetite drops off, so at dinner time avoid raw fruit and veg as they fill up on it, and then they are not hungry for the high carb and protien stuff they should be having to keep their tummy's full all night. Two year olds often start night waking again which is often put down to the 'terrible twos' but they are actually hungry.

Got some other strategies to try as well so got a big weekend planned !

Hey blossom - re. dressing, LOL, have a look at the thread i posted on the toddler branch about two months ago about exactly that topic!

M is a bit of a climber, I think, but then I see what our friends' 20 mth old is up to and I realise that she's actually not at all. The stuff he gets up to is crazy.

We've not had too much trouble with sleep lately, knock on wood. Especially considering we've had a 3 week trip to the UK.

Not too many tantrums here but I'm sure they will come.

Holly that was really useful, thanks for sharing. Bedtime is getting worse not better for us, and night waking too...but that could be partly to do with the fact that DS is now a big brother. We welcomed Hugo a week ago today. Harrison is coping remarkably well with all the changes but I think reality is kicking in for him now and he's a little put out.

My little boy is 2 tomorrow. Its gone soooo fast Slow down we man

He loves boots and even take's his gumboots to bed with him. Love's playing outside and getting into everything. Love's cars and anything boyish. And most of all loves his oldest sister and follow's her everywhere

A real hard case we boy. Will add a pic of him tomorrow.
