HPL even though your sleeping situation seems like a dream to many others I think that any change in your regular sleeping pattern is goign to be disruptive no matter what it is. You'll soon get in a rhythm with bub and it'll be easier.

Cas what type of sling do you have? I've got about 3 and they are all the regular looking sling but I find them a bit bulky? dh has used it a few times now and bub sleeps well in it, I'm not sure if I'll use it but I do want to try it before dh goes back to work as it could be a great thing to get things done (like post on BB) during nap time lol

AFM today I went out for 2 hours without bub and got home and cried I didn't realise how much I'd miss him!!! he was asleep the whole time though in dh's arms. I went out for a massage and a chiro adjustment and now I feel great. I tried to document bubs sleeping times today as I'm concerned that he isn't sleeping properly during the day? I did start a thread on this but will ask in here too. How long is ok for a NB to be awake at any given time? I think DS is awake for a few hours in the morning and a few hours at night. The night one I don't mind cause I figure it's tiring him out for a big feed then a big sleep in bed but in the mornign I think it might set him up to be a little restless if I miss his tired signs and don't put him down... Am I making any sense?
