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:

:rotfl: :rotfl:

its the names they give the dishes as well... just say what its is.

I agree. But what's with the foam they put on everything? Don't really get that! "Garlic foam" no thanks!

Our routine is a little different but similar concept - started at about 8 weeks and it's made a big difference. First off, he gets 2 cluster feeds at 6/6:15 and then at 7pm, so I know he knows that means it's wind-down time. Then after the feed is a bath (only every other night), and a short massage and change into PJs in very dimly litted room. He's then swaddled and taken into his room and put down. He has a habit of howling when he's being swaddled, but I can tell it's more out of habit because the second you walk into his bedroom (after doing up the swaddle on our bed) he most of the time conks out.

Our night wakings have been a bit random lately but he HAD been going to 3ish for a feed and then up again at 6:30/7. I realllllllllllly try hard not to get him up until 7 (like you SJ, I want that to be the "start") of the day, but some mornings he's just not having it and he winds up in our bed cuddling/sleep-feeding. Though the past week he's been waking up at 1, being shushed to sleep, up at 2-3 for food, then awake again at 4:30/5 and being shushed back, then awake at 6 howling for food. But he's been sick so hopefully we'll get back to normal soon.

SS, just looked up where you'll be...not sure what your plans are while you're over here, but if want to make a family-style day out-esque time of it, I'm sure DH would happily drive us all down to Ashdown Forest. If you're thinking more lunch or a few hours in a coffee shop with just the ladies, then it needs to be near a train station b/c I don't drive. But East Grinstead is easy enough to get to (as is Tunbridge Wells). Anyway, just a thought! You might be a builder called Dave
