Hooray, my copy of Wonder Weeks arrived the other day (thanks Amazon!)… Reading through the first half, I realised I should of bought this book alot earlier 😛 but nevertheless, the chapters for the 37 week stormy period was pretty much spot on and again I find myself nodding at how this book explains what is going on in my little coconut’s head.
I tend not to be a book person – my idea of a book is the tv guide or a photographic essay – and when it comes to raising a baby, I don’t like to consult a book – but this one, I like. It doesn’t TELL me what to do (or at least, I don’t read it that way), it just offers a perspective on development and reactions. we haven’t changed his routine as we don’t think the routine is the issue, we’re just going with it. (Jasper did sleep through over the weekend, btw! enough to restore my sleep bank a smidgen)
