Challenges and Successes

This week has been pretty tough on the babyometer scale as Cedric and I attempt to correct our accidental bad habits in parenting. There have however been many successes alongside the challenges

Successes -
Matthew is now taking a bottle no problem

Matthew is sleeping in his own room in the cot and not having any time in our bed

Matthew put himself to sleep last night (only 40mins of crying :o) this should decrease)

Matthew put himself to sleep in the pram (where he naps during the day) (only 60 mins of crying!..should decrease)

Matthew is enjoying his first tastes of food, and I'm enjoying buying and pureeing the veg.

Challenges -
Hopefully he'll sleep tonight himself in less than 40mins

Hopefully he'll not wake for a feed and need more controlled crying (last night Nelson Mandela helped to dampen Matthew's cries - I'm reading his autobiog')

Hopefully we'll get him into a good night time feeding routine as at the minute we're not sure at what time to make the last feed, and when exactly to put him down. ie should it be around 6pm or 8pm??
