I feel like I've missed out a bit on all the mother-and-baby groups this time round, haven't had time to go really with 2 under 3, or even time to go to hv clinic more than 2 or 3 times; but the plus side is I haven't felt the pressure this time to 'do things right', we are just pottering along as best suits us. Which means, no weaning yet, we'll give it till around 6 months as milk is easier (am now getting the benefits of oversupply as expressing lots at work is easy, makes the early weeks of pain worth it!); she sleeps as and when she gets tired; in the evenings she's still with us about half the time; and we co-sleep lots so I barely notice the night feeds.
So much for my big plans for sleep routines before she was born, we're doing almost completely the opposite! Though I do try to lay her down without sleep cues when she's tired.
We'll do BLW if she will have it as that'll be much easier for us than making up purees, but I have nothing against purees in principle. And I cannot keep track of the order you're supposed to do things in, so we'll just start with a bit of fruit and veg and take it from there.
I just figure one way or another she's going to end up eating food and sleeping through eventually, she won't be exclusively breastfed and waking for feeds when she's 13.
But I just noticed how much of this is about making my life easier - oh dear, I am clearly a very lazy mummy!! but so far she seems to be thriving on it!
