That way we could keep our entire day on track and not have it adjusted according to how his night went. What I can say about the above regime and from my own very limited experience is that within reason you can pick and choose the bits that work for you.

For example, when R was still recovering from her C-section and was absolutely drained, it made no sense for her to be hindering her recovery, getting up during the night and lumping baby over to the changing table for a new nappy and to do a drawn out feed. Sleep-starved nights, inconsolable crying, feeding on demand – stories that make the prospect of bringing a tiny baby home for the first time daunting for any proud new parent. One thing I do remember from all those years ago is that my uncle and aunt never seemed to have any issues getting my cousins to bed. He really was the quintessential ‘good baby’ I don’t think it would have mattered if he was demand or routine.
