My baby is now almost 8 weeks old.
6 weeks of very little sleep and having baby sleep only on my chest even at night took its toll on me mentally and physically.
Health Visitor Ada made extra visits to check in on me (not just baby) and gave me advice on how to overcome it and showed me in practice so I knew it could be done.
After her 6 week visit I felt renewed, determined I was going to give it a go. Ada promised it would only take a day or 2 to sort so I enlisted the help of my sister to take turns in putting my little one back in the baby basket once soothed. This was as often as every 20 mins and I'm delighted to report Ada was right. 1 day later my baby was sleeping for 4 hours at a time and I had my first night's decent sleep in weeks.
I can't thank Ada enough for her continued support, I look forward to her every visit
