Hi girls,

I am now jumping in here as Thomas (aka Pup) was 1 month on Saturday. My how the time has flown.

I hear you all on the non routine thing. Pup is a bit all over the place, but not so much with feed times as settled times. I know (and I think he does too!) that after about 1 hr awake, he is tired enough to go back to sleep. But if we have people here (which has been most days if you include my mum), then he doesn't settle really well at all during the day beteen 1pm and 6pm. So I can have him awake for all that time, by which he is EXHAUSTED and really difficult to settle.

We are getting about 6 hrs out of him a night, although last night we only got 4.5hrs, but not oo bad. Thomas also has no concept of a dummy and only sucks it if you keep it pressed into his mouth - then what's the point??!!!

Well, best go and have a shower whilst I can. The lad is asleep!

Talk soon and catch up with you all.
