Adele- I hope Simon works things out with the PND, try to look after yourself also as you could also end up feeling depressed trying to do everything alone. Have you got any family that maybe could come over for the night and give you the night off to just get a decent nights sleep?

Ashleigh is taking longer each night to settle, I've read in a few books with most babies they get more unsettled each week and then it peaks at 6 weeks and then starts to decrease again. So far this seems to be the case with Ashleigh. Last night I decided to go to sleep at 8:30 but Ashleigh had other plans. She was on the boob often, finally after a good feed at 11:45 she slept til 4:40 then again til 8:15.

I've decided in the day to just give up trying to get her to sleep in her bassinet. She will fall asleep in her bouncer and I used to try to transfer her to the bassinet but she'd wake up and not go back to sleep. So I'm just going to let her sleep wherever she wants. I only tried otherwise cause all the "advice" about them getting into bad habits but I think most important thing is that she gets some sleep and then if she's not so overtired she may settle better at night.
