It is a hard question to answer and I think it changes all the time.

Matthew is almost 5 months old now and I feel I know his cries and his looks most of the time. Sometimes I have no idea what he wants!

As with bonding, might as well answer this too, I think it took until about 6 weeks before that happened. It differs for each mum and bub of course.

Have I helped in any way? Hope so!
