you know, just because I have a good sleeper, doesn't make me an expert on everyone else's babies. I'm always happy to share what we have done in case it helps, but just because I got the good end result doesn't mean that doing what I do will make every child sleep like this. I hate people who shove advice/opinions at you as if it will work for you like it did for them.

I let Daniel nap on me early on (not often but sometimes, especially when I was desperate for some sleep). He was in his cradle/crib in our room at first, then we had him in his cradle/crib in his own room for a while before transferring him to his crib/cot. None of that was intentional, just what we did because DH was a light sleeper and we used the rocking feature on his cradle at first to soothe him.
I did many things 'wrong' too and it didn't punish me in the end. It may not be a real cause and effect thing.... like what if people with babies who don't sleep well keep co-sleeping out of desperation to soothe their kids without losing too much sleep themselves? (I don't really know much about this topic, just a thought)

I sleep that heavy Lou.. It is kind of scary. I've hurt myself in my sleep by staying in an akward position (toe stuck at a 90 degree angle upwards into the mattress, pulled something in my hand before etc)

Wow maybe best for ste not to sleep in the bed then!! You don't want a proper cosleeper cot do you? S has half the night in that then half in the middle of the bed free I swap sides to feed him...

I do think the traumatic births that sammuel and Ben had also affected their sleeping in the beginning and the bad sleeping pattern just carried on... Although for Ben it obviously got even worse!!

Yeah Ste's like that sleeping too Lisa! You're probably right about the idea ghat a lot of co-sleepers are doing it BECAUSE the baby is a bad sleeper! It's certainly why I did it- I had no intention of co-sleeping and didn't really want to but it was the only way to sleep

You see here in the uk we are not supposed to move them to their own rooms until 6 months and i think that makes it awkward too as they are more aware then and don't like the change!!

 

[babyloulou]

Yes I really think the births had something to do with it too Suz! I think he'd only sleep on me in the beginning because of being stuck in a glass box in Neonatal by himself for 7 days before that!

I bought one of those co-sleepers from the NCT when Ben outgrew the Moses basket but it didn't fit our bed so I had to send it back! I don't think any would fit- we have a big thick oak bed with thick sections at the side x

Ben went straight down again tonight at 7:30 and has just woken up for a feed now - so he's done 4 hours with no wake ups!! Not bad for him!! :-D Hope he goes back to sleep after this feed......

 

[SBB]

Hope he's good all night!

Night girls :wave:

Night Suz (have your go on "Hanging" before you sleep!) x

Lou go to a dark room by yourself put the white noise on and go to sleep! Lay there and count sheep!

 

[babyloulou]

He's not finished feeding yet Case- it takes him agggggges!!!

 

[kcw81]

Oh that little rascal!

 

[babyloulou]

He's finished now. I've got him back in the cot but he's coughing ridiculously and is unsettled! His nose is blocked too! I can't believe he's ill again! I wonder if it's going to be his second bottom tooth?? He was under the weather all last week before the first one??

 

[SBB]

Hope Ben settled Lou?

Do you want me to make you a big wool B for Bens room?

I need to make some letters up for photographing anyway, so I can just make one in the colour you want... you don't have to buy it though... It's up to you!

I will post the colours anyway.

Jess, need to discuss blankets. I have a trade account for this wool: https://www.artesanoyarns.co.uk/ I have got the Superwash one for the letters. Thought it might be good for blankets as they can be washed...

The green and blue are brighter, the blue is more teal than it looks...

Suz, that wool is perfect! Love the colours!! Let me know how many blankets you want and what colour combinations and we can take it from there. Xx

 

[SBB]

Jess, maybe I could just send you the wool to do a striped one as a trial version to try out the wool and colours etc?

Can't remember how much wool you said you would need for a pram blanket? They are 50g balls... https://www.artesanoyarns.co.uk/Yarn Pages/dksuperwashmerino.html

I would need to get some labels sorted too... no idea where to even start on that!!

[SBB]

Lou I will start work on your green B tomorrow! You can be my first customer

I am going to sell them for £45 but I will need to trial the website and discount code function so I can do it for less for you
