Goodness brooke - here's hoping justice is done in the sentencing.
I think it was nutella that was talking about co-sleeping - I was very nervous about doing it as they say you're not meant to do it if you're overweight but I've never understood why - it's not as if my excess fat is randomly roaming the bed looking for innocent babies to smother; it is all attached to my bones and I am in full control of it! I wondered if it was because there'd be more "roll together" on the mattress but we have a memory foam mattress so don't have any. We took to it afte accidentally falling asleep together and both parties having a lovely restful time, in a position like the recovery position (for me) and with him turned towards me with his little face propped upwards on my boob (a position he found by himself). From that position it's hard to see how he can come to any harm. That got us through the first few weeks; now he's just turned 9 weeks, he still loves to snuggle up but is also quite happy in the carrycot (on the floor next to my side of the bed).
We had a good night - I put him down post feed at 11.40 and i'm not sure when he dropped off as i fell asleep before him but he woke up at 2:10, got a bottle and slept till 6am, got some breastfeeding till 6.30 and slept till 7.45, then I got up and left him with his daddy for the two of them to sleep a bit more. When he woke up he didn't scream and cry, he just made squally sounds. It's like he's growing up already!
