Robot baby

30 November! That makes Leon a Month old. And I managed to get up, feed him, shower, wash him, massage him, dress him, sign for a package (the re-usable nappies have arrived!) and make my breakfast whilst listening to a Gary Newman interview (Leon was in the bouncer and seemed strangely into the Electronic Music - could this have anything to do with being born to Kraftwerk?).To my amazement it was only 10am, it's usually at least midday! Last night he took from 7.30pm to 11pm to settle, he was wide awake, fed, changed, not interested in the dummy and the only thing that would keep him quiet even if it didn't make him sleepy was bouncing in the bouncer courtesy of Toby's foot.By 10pm we decided that as he was fed at 7pm it would be worth trying another feed and then seeing if he would settle and it did. I just needed to spend 20mins sitting next to him as he lay in the cot, replacing the dummy until he was asleep, then moving the dummy from under his cheek :) and just waiting until he was well and truly snoring away which was about 11pm. Now I say that's not bad. He slept until 4am, fed an hour (incl. a change and a couple of burps) and then woke again at just before 9am which means somehow I managed to do all in the first paragraph in about an hour! Not bad eh.The health visitor should be arriving soon so he will be weighed again.
