OH MY GOD. SUCCESS, SUCCESS, SUCCESS. My husband put him down on Saturday at 9am and he SLEPT FOR TWO HOURS. I was so happy and yet so worried that I couldn't do it. Failed to get back after 45 mins on Saturday afternoon but then on Sunday, I tried and I got him to sleep for TWO HOURS at 9am and then TWO HOURS at 1pm. He grizzled every 45 minutes but nothing serious and I didn't have to go in. Yesterday was tricky due to swimming lessons (

NO DUMMIES, no radio, no pram, no rocking. Aha hahahahahah. I am so happy. He was such a happy little baby yesterday. I am FINALLY starting to enjoy my maternity leave because my baby is happy. He still screams occasionally when I put him down but I usually only have to pick him up once or twice.
He also found his thumb which has helped enormously.
Thanks for your help!
