Any advice for newbie parents?! RE sleeping

My mother said when DS was born, "you can't spoil a newborn", and I think she'd right. You can certainly spoil an older baby, but a 3 day old is still absolutely shocked by the changes birth brings, I reckon.

Haven't read all the posts - (so sorry if I repeat some!)
Congrats! Am feeling uber-broody again...just don't tell MrW yet! ;-)
We found that putting a T-shirt of mine, or my husband's helped -
Or sleeping with babies teddy for a night before putting it in the moses basket with them helped (did feel quite silly at the time, sleeping with a teddybear!).

We also found that routine is so important too! We have a dog, so my daughter's bedtime routine included jammies, bottle, gro-bag, walk (well she was in the pram, we were walking the dog!), then bed. Plenty of fresh-air during the day helped too!

Hope this helps!
