About

So about me. I’m a first time mum in my thirties and live with my partner and son in the UK. Our son was born at home in early 2010 and is the sweetest, smiliest, loveliest boy – I feel totally blessed. I’m currently doing my best to balance working full-time with spending time with Bub. I like knitting/crochet, chocolate and yoga. I’m into women’s issues, green issues and left/liberal politics.

Why <b>Don’t wake the baby!</b>? Sleep, or the lack of it, has been the main theme running through my first year of life with Bub. We’ve struggled so much, read so much and tried so many approaches that I sometimes feel I deserve an A-level in baby sleep (probably at grade F – good effort but must try harder…) But anyway, we’ve had some successes and some setbacks and I’ve enjoyed sharing them on this blog. And we’re definitely not there yet. So whilst this blog isn’t only about sleep it does form quite a bit part of our adventure through parenting.
