i started that abt 2 weeks ago and even through the bad days he has kind of stuck to that routine....if i put him down later he still wakes around 2....so i figure its better to put him down early. its good to have a bath associated with bed.....so i learnt!
he never liked the moses basket so we bought a small crib and he sleeps well in it.....i go down south tomorrow and im dreading a nite in the basket esp now i have a good routine going

It sounds like a good routine. Id like to get Darcey down earlier, but shes often wide awake in the evenings.
Saying that, shes been awake alot today so hope she will sleep well again tonight. x

well our trip down south was great, but he was held the whole time.....not so good now that we are home and he wants lifted al the time!

i put him in his cot last nite, just halved the size in cot by the bumper...use a hot water bottle to heat the mattress and put him down at 7.30....he slept till 1.30, took 3 oz and 5am he took 3 oz.....up again at 7.30 and he took 6 oz......now he is snoozing on my lap!

Oh you're so lucky. I would love Darcey to have a routine like that. She had 3 really good nights then last night she was awake and feeding every 2 hrs again!! Could it be a growth spurt? Im going to up her milk today to 120ml and see if she goes longer and do a bath bottle bed routine. Do you bath Conner every day?

Chris and I split up and he wants Harvey to live with him and not me. For those of you who have January 2012 FB page will know what torment going through at the moment. It's so scary

Sorry to hear that he's not content. I think its just their age because they are still too small to do much and cant really touch, grab what they want. Darcey gets bored really easily when put down in her chair or under her mat. She loves cuddles. I find it easier to get and about and lots of fresh air.

We did the bath bottle bed routine and worked a treat so will def be doing that again!!
