Dave Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Worth its own thread because I know the vast majority of people on here find such things highly tedious. So anyway, growth spurts. FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Nah, it just fucks up the ridiculously little rhythm you're managed to get going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Nah, it just fucks up the ridiculously little rhythm you're managed to get going. Routines soon develop into new routines, mate. Their sleep patterns change and you have to work around them. It takes some getting used too, and when you do, they change. It's all so good though.

Dave Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 He's started smiling though, which melts my heart. Makes all the stressing worthwhile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Just to reassure you, my little fuckers have a combined age of 8 (eldest 6, youngest 2) and the little fuckers are still mastering the whole sleeping thing. Thankfully my Mrs is ok with getting up every night with one/both of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 He's started smiling though, which melts my heart. Makes all the stressing worthwhile. Wait until the personality really starts to develop. It's magic Dave, best thing in the world. Plenty of good stuff to come. Just remember that with sleeping patterns, they seem to train you as much as you train them. You have the power!

Dave Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 He's really not that bad for five weeks old tbh, it's just two steps forward one step back all the time. You think you're making progress then something knocks it back. Lightyears from just a month ago though, back then it felt really daunting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakie Doke Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Haha the first giggle at something you do is great I'll never forget that. Was in the kitchen, bent down to pick up an empty box and hit my head on the cabinet. Heard a little giggle from the corner. All my friends were there, I've never felt so humiliated.

Yorkie Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Still so fucking chuffed for you, Dave. It's a million miles away for me but I can't wait to have my own kid(s). I bet the good things are incomparable to owt else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Never bothered me. It's not exactly enjoyable...but being my own kids, I'm ok with it. Another person's kid would be revolting (nannies have to put up with that crap) This is exactly me. It's your own, don't care. Someone else's?

Belfast Mags Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I'm just about to hit 5 years of straight shit wiping just as our first was potty trained, the second one came along. Not sure which is worse, trying to wipe a ballsack or mopping out a girlie front bottom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Mags Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Nice. Tell you what though, Cheeky Wipes are the future. Anything that comes out my children's arse and gets wiped away, is going in the bin, convince me Dave, I need convincing on this reusable thing of which you speak.

Dave Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 The bulk of it you lob in the bog (or bin if you're using disposable nappies). The wipes themselves go into a laundry bin with lid ahead of washing. Simple as that really. I suppose it might change when he gets on solids and the poo gets more stinky but for now at least, they're great and no waste. Same principle applies with the nappies too basically. We still use disposables at the minute but only for convenience really, we're gradually moving to washable full time. She's already bought a shitload so we have to.
