Jack is 5 weeks old now. Our days with Jack are still a bit of a mismatch. No two days are the same but I can see a pattern for naps starting to form. One thing I have been solid on is that I don’t feed less than 3 hours apart. The break between feeds…
Self soothing is a skill that most babies already have, it just gets lost along the way or becomes harder for them to master. I have found that I have had to use the dummy a lot more than I intended too with Jack. During the night particularly. He has been waking my other boys…
Jack is 6 weeks old now. I’ve never been one to say ‘time has gone by so fast!’ as to be honest, I feel every single day. However, writing ‘6 weeks old’ does actually feel a little unbelievable this time round. Around 6 weeks old, you should start to notice that naps are starting to…

4 months old today. We have been going through a rocky patch. The little man has eczema and a form of dermatitis. It took a long while to find someone who could confirm this for me, and most importantly, help me with it. My other boys had a mild case of eczema, but the regime…
6 months has now passed since Jack come to be with us. What a sweet little man he is. So where are we now with sleep? Having my two other boys I am so VERY grateful that Jack sleeps well. With all the moving parts of our lives, I can’t tell you how valuable it is…
