one step forward…
…and two steps back – and he can’t even walk yet! Just when i thought we had cracked the daytime sleeping, the whole thing has gone tits up again and we are back to the glorious 45 minute naps. I mean, the boy is literally like clockwork, waking up 45 mins after he fell asleep and usually in a foul mood! I’m sure I read somewhere that it’s to do with their brain developing, they have these periods of ‘regression’ which is weird and it has to be said rather annoying, as I’d sort of got used to having a couple of hours a day to myself. On the plus side though (and I’m almost scared to write this in case I jinx myself) night times have improved A LOT – last night he slept from 6.30pm – 7.30am and only woke once, a miracle! But then maybe that was because his naps were rubbish yesterday? Who knows…but if any new mums are reading this through bleary eyes after another sleepless night, I just thought it might help you to know that some day soon you will get a decent night’s kip, even when you least expect it. Long may it continue…I’ve got a fair bit of shuteye to catch up on!

About Claire
Hello! I’m Claire and welcome to MumUnplugged! I started this blog in 2008 following the birth of my son; I was bored on maternity leave from my job as a magazine editor, and besides feeling a pathological urge to just write something, I wanted to put my own experiences as a first time mum out there for others to share. I’m just a normal mum like any other – I have good days and bad days, days when I feel confident in my ability to raise this little human I created and others when I wonder why on earth I ever thought I could handle it! The most important thing I’ve learned from becoming a mum is that there’s nothing like advice from other mums who’ve been in your shoes – and I hope that by reading my experiences and those of others, visitors to MumUnplugged will find inspiration, advice and support for their journey through motherhood. Through my career in publishing I’ve also developed a passion for trend-spotting and tracking down the latest products so you’ll also find lots of news, reviews, fashion, topical features and much more. I really hope you enjoy the site – don’t forget to check out our forums (coming soon!) and keep your eyes peeled for great competitions and giveaways. If there’s anything you’d like to see on MumUnplugged then I’d love to hear from you – email mumunplugged@googlemail.com, follow me on Twitter, check out the Facebook page - or just leave me a comment!
