I'll start by saying I overthrow everything and get a bit anxious about 'getting it right'.
Also Dc1 was quite difficult with sleep. Not anymore though he's 2 and goes to bed very nicely at about 8pm and deeps though til 6.30 ish though this is actually drifting later!
This is about Ds2 though, 6 months old, better at sleeping. So far his dad gives him a bottle downstairs, he falls asleep either on the bottle and then put in his sleepyhead, or put in sleepyhead, given dummy, nods off. He's been staying in the living room, with lamps on (so dim ish) TV on, us talking. He tends to wake when I take him upstairs, I feed him and put him in the sleepyhead in the cot next to my bed.
He rolled out of the sleepyhead last night onto the floor (it was on the floor) and again onto the bed next to me in the night. Around this age Ds1 was rolling onto his front to sleep.
So, Ds1 is at mil tonight so I'm putting Ds2 to bed in his cot, without the sleepyhead.
It's very quiet up here though and I wonder if it may be too many changes in one go? Upstairs, no sleepyhead, quiet.
