Naomi - Aiden is 9 weeks, 2 days today, so will weigh him and see where he is at.Will post later.
Charly - congrats on the bras! Its so had to get nice maternity bras isnt it?
Tina - i hope everything works out. I know it must be hard to stay positive and I hope everything is ok, the word MILD is promising.
Nellnell - we also dont use a monitor, and Aiden is in his own room. We got a bassinete off ebay. I need to make the move to the cot, but, am abit worried.

Aiden doesnt really sleep during the day, hasnt for ages. Will cat nap on and off, and thats about it. Personally, i dont agree with putting them to sleep by allowing them to cry, i feel like it creates a sense of insecurity for them. Maybe, it will prove me wrong, but, so far, he either goes straight to sleep in the evening after his last feed about 9, or will grizzle, so i pick him up again, another little cuddle, and back down. Generally, 9 times outta 10 ,it works. I cuddle just long enough that he settles and calm, but, not so long that he falls asleep in my arms. Sometimes, i go to bed and will wake say, 20min later, and i can still hear him nattering away to himself, but, he seems happy, so, i dont bother.

So, yeah, doesnt sleep much during the day, but, sleeps pretty well at night, does a 6ish hour stint, a feed, and then another 3 -4 hour sleep.

Speaking of which - he is awake now!

Tina - let us know how you go. Thinking of you
