Hi, i'm looking for a bit of advice from you very knowledgable people! My 5week old fell into a fantastic routine very easily after he was born... From about 3 weeks old he'd cluster feed (he's fully bf) till midnight, then sleep really well, waking for a feed at 4am and again at 8am. He self settles too so I know I'm really lucky!
However since staying at the in-laws for Xmas, its all gone to pot. They spent all day Xmas eve cuddling DS and whenever he woke they shushed him back to sleep. I should have been firmer in getting them to put him down for one second but they wanted cuddles as they don't see him too often. So he basically slept all day and was up all night, and has continued doing that for the last three days! Thanks so much stupid in-laws, its muggins here who has to deal with the fallout! (I know I'm being harsh but hey, I've been up all night - again!).
Does anyone have any tips for a knackered first time mum, to get him back where he was? Thank you!!
