    I have a baby who won't stop grumbling :( Seems I'm not happier alone than with OH, and rely on parents longterm isn't an option so I don't really know what to do.

    Hi there

    Has anyone any gems of wisdom to share on getting their newborn off to sleep. I've been wandering up and down the hallway rocking baby to sleep but that sometimes takes an age and I'm wondering if I'm building a dependency on me. Any techniques you can share woul dbe gratefully received......

    Thanks, I'll give it a go. I'm just concerned abotu building a sleeping technique that relies on me but guess he is only 11 days old so will need comforting! just don't want to start down rocky road........
