LOL Blackbird... I'll be raiding the Baily's bottle I think... perfect weather for it. I'm sounding like a real alco but I'd only have about 3 drinks a week.
I've also been mulling over the wisdom of just telling people that your baby is sleeping 'through' too. What if another sleep deprived mum tentatively asks you... and you tell her that you baby is sleeping through ... doesn't that just perpetuate the problem of unrealistic expectations? Wouldn't it be better just to tell the truth but add "oh and I've heard it's more normal for a baby to wake up throughout the night for a feed etc than to sleep through anyhow?" Dont you think honesty is the best policy? And regarding informing checkout chicks etc then who cares what they think anyhow? It's so easy to change the subject anyhow if you're worried that your baby is going to be labelled as "bad". I think trying to spread the word regarding REALISTIC expectations will help all mums and I'm more than happy for complete strangers to think I have a willful, wicked baby for 10 seconds if it'll help all the other mums that speak to that ill-informed person in the future....phew! does that make any sense? LOL
