If my mum is reading this (hi Mum!) she'll be rubbing her hands and mouthing I told you so at the screen, no doubt.īut we live and learn. And if I could turn back the clock now, I'd buy a moses basket for Daph when she was first born, which I would put in the Chicco Next 2 Me at night time.
But if I'm honest, I think a MOSES BASKET would have done much the same job. And it was useful in that we had it on the sofa with us a few times when Daph was napping. Of course, I went straight on Amazon after she'd left and bought us one (blame the new mum hormones - I was sucking up advice left right and centre like a very dry sponge). She said every mum and dad she saw nowadays had 'one of those cushion things, so you can have the baby sleeping next to you during the day'. It was the lactation consultant we saw when Daph was about five days old who first told me about the Sleepyhead. And I suppose it has been useful, but it's come at a price. The irony is that I think I wrote about this 'wonder product' in a post when Daph was tiny, calling it one of my most useful purchases. But my biggest regret, purchase wise, has to be the damn Sleepyhead. There are plenty of things that I can't imagine doing without - my Perfect Prep machine, for example, has been a lifesaver - but then there are other things, such as the Bumbo seat, which, while useful at the time, definitely wasn't an essential. I remember moaning about her point of view in one of my pregnancy updates, but now, I'm starting to come around to it. My mum had a point when she said there's a lot of baby 'stuff' available today that her generation coped perfectly well without. I'm not saying this product doesn't help others, just that we didn't need it and we are finding it incredibly hard to wean our baby off it, hence the title. This is a personal blog and I like to be honest about my experiences. Not sure why they chose to link to my blog post out of the blue, but I'd just like to say that the following is NOT meant to be an impartial review of the product, but just our personal experience of using it. *Hello everyone visiting from The Gentle Sleep Book FB page (there have been thousands of you!).
