tilda, what a shame matilda is so unsettled. i have this book called baby on board and the author reckons bubs are often unsettled if they are overstimulated. so, that could be them being too overhandled by visitors or being exposed to too much excitement duringthe day. he suggests keeping things simple and keeping them in a quiet, dark space inthe afternoons if the are getting wound up so all the adreneline leaves their body. im not really explaining it well but you get the gist. he also says newborns arestill learning and it will get better! good luck, hun. x

to thegirls with unsettled bubs during theday- jack is the same. im not too worried as hes in a good pattern at night, he wakes at 2am and 5am after going down at 9.30pm. not sure how else toget him to day sleep as im only bfing and have enough milk to feed triplets! any tips from anyone else?

andie- very jealous of jacobs long sleep!

atm-sorry for the typos. im on this dumb pen keyboard and i cant use it!

not sure what you all do at night but ive got a new routine that works for us. we put him in our bed after his bath, dh reads to him, i feed him, wrap him then pat his bum til he shuts his eyes, usually round 9.30. then pop him in the bassinet. hear him stirring at 2am, take him to my bed for a bf lying down, then pop him back. same at 5am. i dont change or burp him and that way he doesnt really wake! dh then chnges him at 6. two of my friends recommended it and now we all get a much better sleep. i use natures friend so dont need to burp...
