Hi girls - just want to say congrats to all the new bubs and none of you are bad mums!

Matthew spent the first 48-72 hours of his life crying, DH stayed up with him all the time and just cuddled him. I Know its exhausting but its like they need the reassurance the time to adjust to this big scary world.

If you are after a sling, I recommend the hug-a-bub which Kelly sells through Bellyelly. They are amazing and can be used from birth. Bubs lies right next to mums/dads heartbeat so is very reassuring for them. I used to wear this with Matthew in it and have a snooze .

Ever since Matthew has been born I have not had a proper sleep. Even now he sleeps through, I think being mummy's we are subconciously thinking about them and listening out for them. You do get used to surviving on less than you are used to. But it does get better.
