I'm so pleased that you have had all that wonderful support for the past 6 weeks. I can't imagine how full on it must be having 5 children in the house, Wow, you're amazing. What a cheeky monkey not wanting to sleep in that lovely cradle Mama set up for him. He does sound a lot like my Felix. His first 10 weeks he spent sleeping on me! It was so exhausting, but nothing was going to convince him to sleep in the little moses basket we had for him. But pleased to say, from 10 weeks onwards something changed and he slept like a dream. Keep the faith hun, he will find a rhythm in time xoxoAll For Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151973819133926868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-37406513135024465242013-01-14T22:34:32.146+11:002013-01-14T22:34:32.146+11:00I sincerely wish you luck.
