Kelly - that is great, well done Tara! Adam is not quite there yet, just getting onto to his side and staying there for a while - when I see him doing this, I flip him over so that he knows how it feels!

Grub - I didn't worry about routines with Adam, just went on trying to read all his signs,demand feeding etc. But pretty much at the 12 week mark, he seemed to decide on his own routine which was down for the night between 7pm and 8pm, and 5 feeds during the day (7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm). so i have fitted in with he what he wants, and at night time at 7pm, I pop him in the bath, put his pj's on and give him his last bottle, then straight in bed. He also has a little sea-horse/night light thing that plays soft music and glows when you press his tummy, and this has turned into a real sleep cue for him. It works for day-time naps too!

This does vary a bit depending on the day and if anything has thrown the routine, but he gets back on track pretty well. I went back to my running club training night last night, and got home at 8pm to find DH and Adam asleep on the couch, a lonely, full milk bottle sitting on the coffee table grrrrrr. So I had to wake Adam up, give him his bottle and then bed, so it was quite late. However, it really doesn't seem to bother Adam too much, and I'm just to darn grateful to DH for letting me have some mummy time that I don't say anything!

At the end of the day, I'm using this 'routine' that Adam has set as a guide, and don't get bogged down if the plan doesn't work. That way there is far less stress and pressure on me, and I am trying to just go with the flow.

It sounds like you are doing a fabulous job, so just keep on keeping on!

AFM: No major news, Adam doing well, having a big arvo sleep at the mo, and I've started back at uni today......feeling very overwhelmed but hopefully I will feel better once I get my head around tings.

Hi to everyone!!!!!
