No advices because I'm dad since too few time (last September) but I can tell you I had the same feelings (I'm not mature enough, what about my free time, did I take the good decision ?), and wondered if I could be happy with no sleep, tons of sh.t on the hands and a son who will hate me by the age of 15, won't like go, and will stop school to become a professional soccer player.

The answer is definitely yes ! I have never been so much happy before :)

Congrats kirby.

my own advice would be not to take advice too seriously.

Routine.. what we did:

To save sanity at night.

From day one always follow a routine for putting to bed

1] play with infant 7:30 pm
2] last feed 7:45
3] bath 8 pm
4] bed/lights off 8:30 - say goodnight and leave..
5] baby sleeps 8:32

within days of birth we were only seeing one wakeup during the night (always around 1 am) and an early morning.

Small children feel at their most secure with this type of routine. This must be done every night without fail..starting at hospital. Our eldest is now 14.. the routine has changed a little but as soon as her head hits the pillow after her bath..she is out cold!!!


good for you if it works, but i don't think there is a magic recipe so that your child will sleep at night ...
if you think there is one you might end up thinking you are doing something wrong if it fails.
Just wait and see kirby all families are different

:shock: :bow: :bow: (i guess you get that a lot)
how did you even had time and energy for setting up something like OGS + going to work topazg?? are your days 24 hours like the rest of us ?

Having a routine as soon as possible is good. Even a couple months old baby will respond to having a consistent bath time, lights out, etc. It's just that the child will decide whether the routine sticks and whether she will go to sleep on schedule.

And my toddler is the slightly less than one in 365 Christmas Day child.

I wouldn't change anything, but I hope y'all don't miss Christmas Eve dinner like I did.

Just to be clear, the baby hasn't been born yet, correct?

A friend just had her baby girl, after 25 weeks!
I sometimes wish for that kind of delivery time, nothing I do seems to be right these days, and no food I cook is worth eating...
Uh, OK yo'd rather eat this canned tuna than the lasagna I spent 5 hrs making, mhm that's cool

Someone's turning down LASAGNE? That's a severe mental ailment, thank goodness it's temporary.

Congrats to Kirby and all the others who got kids recently / will get some soon ^^
