Kel, I bet you have more of a routine than you realise. I have a baby-led routine too and it rocks, keeps us both happy! OK, so I did start guiding it at first but it suits both of us and always has. TBH I'd go mad with a "at x o'clock you MUST do this" and the like, but we have a general rhythm to the day and it works for us.

I'd be substituting the hair for a cuddly, be it a toy or a blanket. And keeping my hair pulled back! DS has figured out how to take out most of my hair things so I have to keep my head back from him sometimes. She'll get the hang of the cuddly soon enough, not like my Liebling - Jem is so clever with things like comforters, DS has only just got the point of Herr Hare and he's been sleeping with him since 6w old! He cuddles him to sleep every night (I forced him to for long enough!), he has his last BF with him, he plays with him when he's upset and it calms DS really well, but he has only just realised that Herr Hare can be held at night... I tell you, he's very clever but oh so very stupid too when it comes to calming down and resting. He went to sleep without Herr Hare tonight, hope he'll be OK!

Haha, nearly missed it, but it's time for Kirsten's birthday for real! Happy birthday chikadee, have a great one.
