I really fancy these as I can't stand having the living room lights on because I hate the colour. A nice warm orange glow of an eve night would be nice, though.

It might also be handy for when Darwin moves into the nursery. In, like, a long time from now.

Do they turn on and off from a normal light switch?

Can Easybulb Plus be operated with regular wall switch?

Yes, Easybulb Plus can also be turn on/off using the wall switch. Easybulb will also work if the switch is the 3 way type.

Get them ordered!

Get him in his own room before he is 1, obviously do it when you are ready, but I'd really suggest it's easier before he is 1, than after.

Why would they have?

Didn't have problems with either of mine and they were both 2+

I even *SHOCK* slept with my kids

ashfish do those usb sockets have some energy leak if you don't put any cable in it?

Darwin sleeps in a co-sleeper (like a sidecar crib) through the night, then we usually have a cuddle in bed when Russell gets up for work. The one and only baby book I bought (only a couple of weeks ago) suggests id be a total bitch if I moved him out of my room, no, my bed, before he was seven. Also I should throw away my bed and sleep on the floor do he can't roll off, obviously.

It's all ridinculous. Do what works for you, your little ones, your space, time and resource.

Cool lights will help, though.

Pauline was absolutely useless at bedtime routines, and I ended up doing the bedtime putdown for 90% of the time. I had the best results with Seb and Raven, who both had their own room from early on. (although Raven regressed when she was about 30 months old and was really hard to put to bed for about 18 months, even now - at 7 years old - compared with her brothers at the same age, is by far the worst at bedtime, and staying in bed)

I was thinking more of the affect on the parents!

It took a couple of evenings and we've not had one single bad nights sleep in the 14 months since we did sleep training with Josie. Didn't believe anything could work so well. She loves bedtime now, do some stories, put her in the bed and she says night and sits there whispering to her toys before nodding off. Such a relief getting it sorted because it was starting to be a bit much, all three of us frazzled to fuck all the time.

Not sure exactly what you are after Mimi, but have you seen these?

After having tried it I'm a pretty big fan of the theory that you need to teach them to be able to get themselves off to sleep rather than having to creep out of the room once you've done whatever to get them asleep. Or even worse rocking them to sleep then trying to lay them down. Otherwise when they wake up the night (which they do, everyone does a couple of times a night even if they don;t remember it) they can find it hard to cope.

I love listening to my son talking to all his toys on the monitor for 20 minutes every night before he drops off

What, by bedsharing you mean?

Some of the biggest families I know are co-sleepers so they're obviously not having issues

What a selfish bitch you are. Stick your sexy times - your child is more important. What? Don't you have other rooms? Right then, go and have sex on your bathroom floor if you must.

You're taping all that for his 18th birthday, right?

I can't help but think that they are ever so slightly misnamed, given the level of explanation above.

Not that's not fair!

I didn't feel the need to 'train' my children, bed time takes 20 minutes and they sleep through unless they're ill. They all get there eventually irrespective of how you parent them

Good for you, we needed to do something though because due to my wife's MS the lack of sleep was really fucking her up. Really appreciate how you put 'train' in little quotes making the snide insinuation we did something bad/wrong/not as good as you.

Why are some people obsessed with having everything in their house connected to the internet?

Because it's cool, you pleb. Actual cool, not big beard and beer that smells of horses cool

I think, like breastfeeding, like so many things, it's an emotive subject and people should always do what is best for the kids AND the parents, and everyone has different needs.

MrsA has been talking to me about "The Internet of Things" and a hat this morning. I have tried to pay attention, I really have, but it is beyond me
