    Do not allow any baby rearing books onto the house as they will rule you. Go with your instincts and enjoy it.
    The craic is unreal even though you'd be fit to kill them sometimes.

    Can I offer one piece of advice from one busy person to another look after your wife because its unbelievable what work they do.

    I took every Thursday off after am milking for the first 2 mts and brought mammy and baby out to lunch. I did this with each child. She has told me since how much she enjoyed those days away. The lads on the farm knew I was going and there was never a problem

    Many congrats

    We used to call that contented little baby book, the f**ked up little baby book. Not fit to be used as kindling.

    What ever suits you lads. Both mine have slept soundly through the night from about 8-10 weeks of age. What ever you do, make sure it suits both of you. Agree Gina Ford doesn't suit everyone. Neither does grass measuring ;)

    Tis a feel your way along job. The single suckling is a great job for us dad's, spares a lot of scrubbing buckets :-)

    Never a truer word said. Baby only needs Mammy for the first 6 months. Daddy's job for that time is to care for Mammy.
