Kindof, I haven't read back so I'm not sure what your question was (sorry) but I saw that you were mentioning bedtime routines. We started one with Caitlin when she was three weeks old, and she goes to bed really well now.

Ours is very similar to the one SJ does with Alfie. When she was as young as Elliot, we used to do a bath at 6:30pm (usually about 6:40 by the time we'd undressed her and run the bath), then bring her downstairs for a feed, then put her in the moses basket swaddled. We just used to pick her up when she cried or needed a feed. We'd then take the moses basket upstairs with us when we went to bed.

When she was in her cot in her own room (at just under 7 weeks old - gosh that sounds so young now), we changed it slightly. We do everything as before but feed her upstairs in our bedroom, with just a dim light on before putting her in her cot. I then went upstairs to BF her if she needed it,

Now, she doesn't need feeding in the night and very rarely wakes in the night too (except for a couple of weeks ago when we had a run of interrupted nights!). Sometimes she is wide awake when we put her down in her cot, other times she is nearly asleep, but even when she's wide awake, she usually goes to sleep in a few minutes.

If we ever have baby number 2, we'll definitely do a bedtime routine from the same age, as it has worked so well for us.

I totally agree. Bedtime routine for us is jim-jams, sleeping bag on, final BF in the nursing chair then up to bed with the seahorse on. He's usually in bed by 7:15, sometimes by 7 if he is sleepy. We've done this since he was 4 weeks old, and he is usually very good at bedtime. Generally he just wakes up once in the night, at about 4-5am then goes back off after a feed till about 8. Having said all that last night was totally different, he wouldn't settle and for the first time ever slept the whole night in my bed!

Just won a very snazzy fridge on Comet Clearance for our new kitchen which we are fitting this weekend.

Som- I totally agree with everyone who has said that very soon BFing will be second nature and you will whop your baps out all over the shop!

Who the hell wants to eat food that has been faffed around with as much as this michelin stuff though? I love good food but the thought that someone measured the cake mixture to the gram and sliced pinapple on a bacon slicer makes me want to throw it at the poncy chef's smug face :rotfl:
