O.K so I am with Jackson all day, Brad comes home and the smiles start - jackson is 15 days old here and just loves spending time with Brad - they giggle and smile together as Jackson bobs his head up and down and pushes up on Brads chest. We are following the sleep, eat, play routine recomended by the midwives in my new mothers group, we had heard of this before from a book called babywise, however when the midwives recommended the same pattern we thought why not - it has been a lifesaver. Jackson eats, has waketime/playtime and when he starts to show tired signs its down for sleep. It promotes healthy sleep patterns and he is now in a 3 hour cycle during the day and at night we leave him to wake on his own which has been giving us 4 to 5 hours sleep at a time which is good for my mental health! He does not really like sleeping in the cot during the day and I am working on settling him in there and so is Brad, it takes persistance as we both just want to pick him up, but after a few minutes he settles and the crying stops. I don't know why this happens only during the day, as at night he goes right down without a fuss. Brad has two weeks off over Christmas which we are all happy about and looking forward to some lovely day trips now the weather is so nice down here, will be sure to post photos.
