Hi everyone, grrr i hate it when BB doesnt send me email notifications, i forget to check on here and end up having to read back a few days.

Well so far so good, Caleb goes to bed at 7.30pm, had a dreamfeed at 10.30, sleeps till 5am, has a feed then and wakes up at 7.30am so we are at least getting a good nights sleep.

My dad is coming over next week to meet Caleb, im soooo excited, i cant wait!

For those with dummy use, if your little one needs to suckle then i say let them, until they are three months old they dont form attachments to it and they need the suckling time. However, once they are asleep and they spit it out DO NOT put it back in, If you put it back in then you are creating a prop.
They dont know how to settle themselves at such a young age, they werent born knowing how to put themselves to sleep so they use the dummy to soothe themselves. the other idea about pulling it out is a good idea too. We use the dummy when Caleb needs to suckle himself to sleep but this doesnt always happen, usually when hes overtired and just needs that extra comfort to fall into sleep, then he spits it out and contently sleeps for two hours (during his day naps. We dont need it to send him off to sleep at night) We dont need to use it any other times so the dummy actually never leaves his bedroom... its used very minimally.

However each to their own! I know what works for my little man and you all know what works for your bubbies

Has anyone else tried baby massage? Caleb LOVES it and the nights i do it he just sleeps and sleeps. He has his dinner, an evening bath and a massage and then off to bed, its a great time to spend quality time wiht your little one and they love the touch of their mummy and the eye contact. I find this is the time Caleb "talks" the most. It can be a really special time. maybe the dads could use this time to give you mummies a rest and bubby will love it.
I know when Craig gives Caleb a bath, Caleb just looks up at him like hes saying "oh your the best dad in the world, i luuuuuurve my baths" its so cute

anyone elses babies outgrowing their baby bath? Caleb kicks around and if he stretches out he hits his head at the top, we are having to move to the big bath in the main bathroom now!
I cant beleive my boy will be 8 weeks on Saturday! I remember being only 8 weeks pregnant.... oh a lifetime ago!
