Thank you to everyone who has shared their bedtime routines and bath aids with me. I have that foam thing but want something more hands free so will look at one of the others!
Sophie, I must say, I take my hat off to you going it alone
I think you are pretty amazing! I have to say though, every time I have thought about going the FF route, I then think about having to get out of bed to get a bottle ready and I soon change my mind! Saying that, being totally baby lead is bloody hard work so I am going to try and nudge him into a routine. I have been writing down when/how long he feeds for and his naps and hopefully at the end of the week a slight pattern will emerge that I can work with, as like you say, you get nowhere trying to fight it.
Dani, I love your night time routine! If Georgie ever did that I would think all my Christmases had come at once! You have done so well to have picked your BF back up to where you have it now! I know for a fact that without visiting my BF club and my OH being really supportive, I would have really struggled to keep going. I dodn't think men always understand just how important somethings can be
Shan, I love that you read to Elleah! I want to start doing that too, what do you read?
Pixelle, lovely to see you again
George has lots of those LaMaze toys too, his favourite is a big butterfly that we have hung from his play gym, he loves swiping it!
Bartness, I am so sorry to hear what a twunt your OH is being! I would have been so angry that he left Jaxon to cry while he slept. I hope you manage to get him to buck up his ideas
Gemma, I know exactly how you feel about having a baby attached to you all day and night. Its tiring and frustrating and I get so jealous of those who get their LO's into a routine and have free time. I also often think it is my fault he is so clingy as I have never left him to cry. I just can't though. I just keep telling myself that eventually it shall pass. I hope!
Pichi, thanks to you flashing your jumperoo on her and posting such a bargainous link, I may have to indulge ............
AFM: Well we went to our Under Ones group this morning and got totally soaked, but I like to go and meet other local mums. Today George noticed for the first time that there were other babies there and couldn't take his eyes off them. He did look mighty confused though
