I'm so glad my girl goes down within 5 to 10 min of being left there without complaining almost all the time for the last 11.5 months and sleeps 11 hours. She loves her sleep and isn't dependent on anything.
Man I'm jealous. We tried this many times with my daughter and each time she'd scream and cry and get so worked up that she'd vomit everywhere. Even as a newborn god help you if you wanted her to sleep on her own, she'd just cry endlessly unless you let her sleep on your lap. After that point you'd have to cross your fingers transferring her into a crib or we'd get the whole ordeal all over again. I don't think she quite had colic but holy shit we were not prepared for that much crying all the time.
My girlfriend generally goes to bed at the same time as her so it works out, I guess. I stay up later as I do a bit of work or play a game or whatever, and then crawl into bed (usually moving a perpendicular daughter off my pillow in the process).
Hehe, good timing, I was talking about doing that. Co-sleeping is an interesting topic, it wasn't something we considered doing before bubs was born but it just feels so natural. It's also a fairly new, and predominantly western practice according to articles like this:

My son is 8 months now, next week he is getting his scalp pulled down and a plastic surgeon and a neurosurgeon will spend 6 hours cutting open his skull (the entire top), taking it off, cutting it into pieces and then reconstructing it properly.
Fun times.
He has craniosynotosis. Basically, the soft spot closed prematurely. Need to make a new one. He will be out of commission for a month.What the... what happened??

Here's the little guy. Not excited at all. I will give updates!

nice thread!
our little lady has arrived the 13 of may.
she's beautiful, very very "cool" and also very big
mummy is at home with her alla the day, i'm out working, but in the evening we have a special moment because he usually like to sleep well settled, completely abandoned, on my chest, form 21 to 24/1.00 am, every night , while mummy is resting.
then he eats from her mummy around 3 or 4 AM, and then in the morning, past 8 am generally, and her mummy take care of her.
things are working out very well for now.
I never never felt anything comparable to listening to that little human being while she sleeps, or watching while she's hangin' out in the garden with her mummy, in my entire existence.
just typing it makes me cry
sorry for surely not perfect english

Anything like that can be a godsend. We had one of these:
and we'd have gone insane without it due to how damn fussy our daughter was with sleeping. I hope our second (due June 28th) actually develops some sleep habits.

Nice one! But I'd put mine up against that. Limited Edition Bugaboo Chameleon in all-black:

Looked like a mafia staff-car with the bassinet on, but she's recently grown into the chair instead.
Sorry, is your baby a girl or boy? I assume girl, but in the middle of your story you list the baby as a 'he'.
I genuily wanted to know ( although I did assume he would most likely mean a girl) however just in case - I do apologies to the poster if I came across as being rude/pendatic.
I like the ones that fold up with the flick of a switch.
Congrats! My daughter slept through the night her first night home from the hospital and ever since. My son took about a week to start sleeping through the night.
I thought this was normal until all of my friends complained about never getting any sleep. I thought they were exaggerating. Turns out I was extremely lucky, so now I brag about it every chance I get.
Gratz Teflar!
Sounds like you need the Origami!

Here's something I'm wondering about eating out with your toddler.
So one of the cool things now that our girl is now at least 1 is that we can feed her almost anything which means going out to eat is easier since we can just order something and give it to her. The thing though is she really wants to eat stuff on her own instead of us feeding her so that of course leads to it being a bit more messy with her dropping food in the process.
As a result, we both feel obligated to tip more than we normally do because we're creating more of a mess, especially all over the floor. Is that normal? Do other parents here do that too?

It was a success. He's just swollen and will be for the next month or so.
Hard to look at older photos of him, I feel like he'll never look like that again.

Man that is heart breaking! Poor kid. I'm sure he's going to grow up to be a strong tough little guy, best of luck to you and your wife to stay strong for your son.
... On a lighter note, I learned a great way to calm my baby when she's crying. I was playing Donkey Kong Country Returns the other night, and when she started fussing I started holding her near the TV and started dancing around to the world map music, and she stopped! So now it's like magic, when she's fussy I just turn up the TV to the DKCR music and kinda dance around with her in my arms and it calms her down. Hilarious!
Hah!
Donkey Kong Country is awesome...I need to try this. I bet the water level music would work, too!
I started a thread a year or so ago about how I wanted to bring up my kid on the NES, then advance him through the generations every few months or so...rather than just plop an iPad in his hands like a lot of people I know do...it was met with a lot of skepticism. But I still want to do it.

So my wife and I have been talking about this. Our son goes to bed at 8pm and sleeps till about 7 to 7:30. It used to be 8, but I've stopped counting on that. She tells me that some kids sleep from 7 to 7. How is the early to bed early to rise working out?
