Making the bed

For the past few weeks the only way we've managed to get the wee man to sleep is by allowing ourselves to be his mattress. With Sharon having returned to Australia, and Ernie edging closer to the six week mark, it's time to start establishing routines (or at least trying).

We're starting to lay him in his basket during the day in the hope he feels more comfortable at night. We're also beginning to leave him for 5-10 mins when he cries, rather than rushing to his instant aid. It's heart-breaking hearing his wails but he needs to learn to settle himself.
