Kate I hear you, I am SO over summer. I am hanging to be able to put a jumper on!! I wouldn't worry too much about the rocking, I'd say what she is saying is for babies that have trouble settling. When I was rocking Coco they told me to rock for 40 minutes as it gets them over the 30 minute REM sleep and into deep sleep, so she must've meant that not realising Jasmine isa GOOD sleeper!
Rach, glad you're enjoying motherhood so much!! I am loving having a newborn again, and doing all the things with her that I did with Tilly. I really loved things like mothers group, gymbaroo, music class etc, and will be doing as many baby activities as possible with Coco. It's such a great way to meet other mums too.
I've already clicked with a few mums at mothers group which is exciting, MUCH better than my experience with tilly's group!!
Coco had her first ever long daytime sleep this morning, nearly 3 hours!!!!!!!! She's had a half hour one since and is now having another nap. So exciting, although I wont be home every day to do that. Of course I didn't have a sleep as it was from 8.30 am, about the only time I do feel slightly human!!
hope everyone's having a good day, think Im going to get the air con going, it's abit hot in here! ox
