I understand why a lot of people like to stick to a routine with babies but then I find it can backfire if you are too much of a stickler if you ever need to go somewhere, especially if it is unplanned. It can then become a stressful occasion. Good luck anyway!
I totally agree - I am flexible when it comes to going out etc...BUT I am very strict when per say, Grandparents come to visit after she has gone to bed, and would like me to get her up...LOL SORRY, but NO WAY!!

We took Paige to an afternoon wedding when she was almost 2 weeks old...she was fine.
I think we will do a trial run on Friday night...we can take her bassinette as I just realised it unclicks from the stand ...probably bring her home just before she is due for her 11-12pm feed.
Seeing I am the one who feeds and settles her 24/7...I am more worried about MY sleep...LOL

Thank you for the replies everyone...i should chill.
