I'm nearly 7 weeks into this adventure now DS is going pretty well, he's a very gentle kid. He struggled more with me not being able to pick him up post c/s for a while than he did with the Mummy sharing. I must admit he's watched more TV in the last couple of weeks than I'd like (while feeding), but it helps my stress levels too. So far so good, I must admit. DH was off work for the first month which helped heaps. I try to get out of the house every day to the park, or the shops or something so he can work some energy off, and I really make the most of the time DD is asleep to spend some real quality one on one time with him.

On another note, he's just decided to dump the day sleep (coincidental) which has meant for a very tired toddler and some whopper evening tanties. We do it hour by hour, minute by minute some days, but we're getting through. You'll be fine Jess, just be very forgiving on yourself and do what it takes to get through.
