Word, dude.

How long before you cracked the nights?

Two weeks give or take. There are two things I can say: firstly, keep said Bandit up late for a feed till say 12 - 1am. Bandit is then knackered and may sleep a little more, giving you hopefully until 6am or 7am. Suited me. There is also a French product which is a little like Readybrek (- a kind of finely milled porridge.) It is formulated for hungry-arse Bandits like yours and is designed to keep them full, aka quiet, until Breakfast. I never tried the second idea but I came close: I used to take Tinkle on trips round the M25 at 3am - she'd pass out and I'd get a freshly cooked fry-up (and some peace) at a motorway service station.

Our babies used to suck in their sleep, we knew what they were dreaming about. :)

Heehehe, little greedies.

You have all my sympathy. I got so sleep-deprived that the first 6-8 weeks is all a bit of a blur now!

My little munchkin makes sucked, clicking noises in his sleep then chuckles, just in case there's any doubt where his dreams are :)
