Ditto what Jules said.
You can also lookup Elizabeth Pantley (sp). She recommends a no cry sleep training method.

Welcome!! you sound alot like the rest of us! haha, dont worry you will soon realize that your child is (unfortanetely, lol) perfectly normal!
Jude is two months behind your child and he also picks up and drops words(Is ta and tata two words?). When we went to the pead recently he noted that J was babbling like thats all he needs to be doing.
As for sleeping through.. I'm not sure anyone has the perfect answer to that one, you just keep digging till you find a teqnique that works for you.

Hi there

Okay firstly well done on getting rid of the dummy. I still need to! Sadly you are going to have to get rid of the milk bottle too for her to stop wanting it.

You don't need to let her scream herself to sleep. I used to wait till he fussed for say 5 minutes then I would go into the room pick him up tell him I am here and leave again and i would let him fuss a teeny bit longer each time never so that he was screaming though. It took 3 nights and he started going to sleep by himself.

Don't stress about the teeth. The longer they take to come out the less chance there is of tooth decay especially if she is still having milk botttles at night.

Babbling is good. Again no stressing about talking. Usually you worry at age 3 if they are not talking that much and one would then have the hearing checked.

Sounds like she is doing really well! Well done.
