Today we have an old trick we have retuned to that gets Baby F to fall asleep. Cuddle with her, she loves the body heat. This fancy technique worked for the first 3 weeks and all of a sudden stopped working. My hubby took care of F this morning while I caught up on some much needed sleep. When I woke up, he shared his experience with me that happens to me more often than not. After struggling for 30 mins he finally succeeded to have F fall asleep cuddled up on his chest. YEAY a sleeping baby! There was only one problem, hubby now needs to pee - badly. However the thought of risking waking his sleeping baby was not an option! My hubby, like a good father, chose to fight it! He eventually fell asleep himself only to dream he was taking a leak. He woke up with a vivid fear of having soiled himself and our couch - luckily it was just a dream. Once awake, my good hubby fought the urge to pee for another 20 mins until baby F woke up on her own terms and a rested Mummy was able to take over.
We pretty much learned that you can do anything while wearing the baby - even go to the bathroom. I drew the line when Denis wanted to BBQ....
