Hail the Aussie Grandparent contingent has now arrived, and boy have they given some fantastic tips for calming and settling the wee one. There's nothing like throwing a bit of experience on the subject - and we're sure when the UK Grandparent contingent arrives next week we'll get even more good ideas.
Things that we've learned so far:
1. When he wakes up screaming don't feed straight away and bounce him round for a bit
2. After a feed he falls asleep better when we put him in the carseat which has a rocker than by me holding him as it encourges him to want more and more feeds ... hence porker problem
3. Using a bib stops him sicking up on his clothes and saves some washing
4. A well rested child is a happy child and now he's caught up on some much needed sleep is alot calmer.
5. There's only one bottle teat that he can handle at the moment and it's better that someone other than me feeds the bottle as he confuses me with a giant milk bottle anyway.
6. He's now starting to focus on colour and movement and recognise voices and we need to spend more time stimulating him and his interest in the world.
Here's some pic's of Raylee and Barry's first 24 hours.
