Hi ladies,

thanks for the feedback and im feeling better now that i know im not alone! - Ella settled better last night but was up again at 3am and stayed awake and niggly until i fed her again at 5.30am then she fell asleep on the boob and let me actually put her down in her bassinette (a rare achievement!) and slept til 8.30am.

I know it takes time to get them into a routine im just telling myself that the first 6-10 weeks are the hardest and they are still learning (like we are) and adjusting to life "on the outside"!

Jo - im tossing up between the Baby Bjorn carrier and the hug-a-bub as i think this will really help her as she loves being close to either me or DH - thanks for letting me know that so far the BB is working great guns for Caleb!
