When?? People kept telling me 12 weeks, but we're past that and if anything it's getting worse!

They're all different, but it will get better! Take every opportunity you can to sleep yourself and accept every offer of help. Is she permanently hungry or just restless? Or does she just want cuddles?

Mainly wants cuddles. She'll sleep on me, but if I'm not moving around it doesn't last long. My baby wrap sling helps but I still don't get rest!

Perhaps you could sleep in a rocking chair or swinging hammock with her hehe desperate measures and all that.

Am amazed at the steam-rollering effect such a small thing can have on your whole life!

Still, one look at her and it's all worth it! clap





How long did it take you folks to get in to a routine?

We started a bedtime routine at about 8 weeks, and gradually have tweaked it until he is now sleeping around 7pm-6am. Every baby is different however so try and go with the flow as much as sleep deprivation allows!

I'm Seb's (above on the swings) mum.

Same, same.

First few weeks are on-demand, followed by consistant routine there onwards...

2 weeks to go today, nursery organised pram and all the other guff bought and built, paternity organised.

The new arrivals wardrobe is looking a bit cutesy for me though, where's the PH baby range eh? Where can a man find a baby-gro with Mini or a V8 on the front? hehe

How's that for starters?!

Definitely practise practise practise with your pram/car seat/rain covers etc. Everything is much harder with a wigglyimpatientm baby!

Congrats. Lovely names. Applied for passports (Irish of course smile ) for my cockney sons today. You will be amazed at how quickly the first 6 weeks goes.
