In the beginning, Daddy bought a book called The Contented Little Baby. It's supposed to help put Hugh in a sleep routine allowing Mummy & Daddy to sleep better at night as well. The night part wasn't so hard, what's difficult was keeping little bub awake during the day! We'd sing 5 Little Monkeys, play the Wiggles DVD, hold him upright, bounce him up and down; anything we could think of but if His Highness wants to sleep, he'd do it anyway.
So, in the end we gave up and pretty much let our instincts guide us - both Hugh's and ours. Some days work out better than others but Hugh seems happier now unless colic strikes again. Of course, there are still days when chaos reign like here... the little cheeky bugger beaming away... at midnight :)
