Early mornings

So this morning Teddy woke me up at 5.45am! And he had no interest in going back to sleep! He was up ready for a good old chat! Moo was asleep still-as Moo stirred I remembered this trick I read in the amazing book Three in a bed: The Benefits of Sleeping with Your Baby by Deborah Jackson. 

This book enabled me to eventually co-sleep guilt free with Moo, in those early days when all I needed was reasurence that when my baby needed a cuddle ALL NIGHT it was ok and normal! But that's another post to write.

So in some tribes she studied, the mothers would sing or talk quietly and discreetly into the child's ear to keep them distracted or calm.

Well guess what it worked-I sung into Teddys ear, he instantly was engaged and we quietly snuck out. Teddy is still happily gurgling and Moo is snoring away contently! Me I'm going to have some decaf coffee (Ha!) to keep my eyes open until Moo goes to Rugby tots!
