7/365


In an attempt to get you to sleep for at least some of the night and day in your cot next to our bed (instead of IN our bed) we have introduced a cuddly toy. I tuck it between us when you feed, hoping that you will associate it with comfort and safety. When you drift off I gently extract my arm, which you so love to cling to, and replace it with your teddy. I feel conflicted about this. All three of us sleep so badly when you are in our bed, so I know it is the sensible option, but at the same time I know that the time where you will look to me for so much comfort and safety is fleeting.
