MadB - Sometimes yes, often no. The best solution is to velcro him to us all day but it's just not feasable all the time and seems to be making things worse in that we can put him down less now than we used to be able to. He's generally a clingy baby who's quick to cry at the best of times. I think it's just worse atm cos both DH and myself are also sick. Add to that the helplessness a parent feels when they can't make things better with a magic bullet and the fact that it's all new for us and you have a guilt-ridden, lost mummy! Oh, and have I mentioned his sleep is fine, we can put him down in his cot with not a worry at all? Ta for replying!
