After 6 weeks of nappy changing and not much by way of response this last week has been a revelation. A whole raft of smiles, cooing, gurgling and still the odd crying spell. Maddie does seem to have got into a bit of a routine which is working well – bed at 8pm, one feed in the night around 3-4am and then up in the morning around 7am which is cool.
Just need to get rid of what we have termed grouchy hour which is normally timed for when I get back from work just in time for me to deal with. Still we have discovered that she loves music and on most occasions this soothes her instantly. She also seems to be taking an interest in the mobile on her cot which is nice.
