does this make me a bad mum or is it normal?!


so luisa is starting to spend more time awake during the daytime now and sleeping (once she settles!) for a good 9 hours at night waking for a feed half way through but going straight back down..

firstly wen she wakes at say 6am.. (she often doesnt settle till 1am.. ) she is often wide awake and full of smiles..
she wont go back in her basket as its light but if i swaddle her and put her in our bed she will lay there quite happy..

it takes about half an hour but she does fall back to sleep.. she doesnt cry or anything so long as she has her dummy..

she will then sleep till about 9-10am..

so she had a feed at 10.30 ish and has a nap in her bouncer till about 11.10.. now she is awake but quite happy giggling away to herself and her animals above her swinging bouncer (which is swinging)

ive been doing the washing up and bits and just stopped to send an email.. and i was thinking...


am i a bad mum leaving her to entertain herself? i do talk to her and try to play but not all day...

and is it wrong to put her down to sleep wen she is wide awake?


sorry for the essay girls just was bothering me

its fine hun, as long as she's happy! they've got to have a bit of time to themselves. trust me, when she gets older and you cant even do the washing up you'll be glad of it lol!!
