Well somehow we seem to have produced a model baby. She smiles, constantly and at everybody, she sleeps for 12 hours, she eats anything with no fuss, she only poos on the pot and only occasionally a wet nappy. How much nature, how much nurture? We have been relaxed for sure, which has surprised us both. Alice apparently never realised I had so much patience. She has had a lot of attention, me working from home, Gma and Jackie, Alice has long holidays, plus we are both there first thing in the morning. Ah,mornings; best time of the day. We are both morning people so 6.00 is fine, usually Mabel is awake but is happy to mull over life in her bed while I make tea and bottle and Alice has a shower. Big smiles for us both as she is picked up out of bed, pot then bottle. We have around 45mins all in bed together at the start of the day; is that the magic formula?
Actually I think it is that 21st century curse, stress. We have done all we can to be aware of stress points and avoid them. This is easier with our experience, (called age), and the time we have available; time is always a cause of stress, well lack of time.
Maybe she is just made that way, hope so and hope it lasts forever.
