Started reading the Baby Whisperer today
Having read all of 5 pages of Gina Ford before becoming so scared to my very core that i needed to take a cold shower, i thought i would follow my wife's advice and try The Baby Whisperer - variously described as "Gina-lite" and "Blatantly sensible"
So i am now all of 2 chapters in - thanks, i think i have done well - and got to say that so far, it all makes an awful lot of sense to me
I am quite worried that maybe i am thinking it will be too easy. I mean, i am a fairly relaxed and sensible person, my wife is extraordinrily so and so with the benefit of calm reflection 6 wks before the storm, it is quite easy to think "This should be ok". But of course, as we discussed in the car this morning, how will we feel when it is 4am and we haven't slept at all and have a baby that has just been screaming constantly for 24 hrs. Calm, rational and logical like i am now? Err, perhaps not
So, i guess that is the big challenge facing me right now. Whilst i like to think that i will be calm, sensible and supportive and that between us, we will divide and conquer, find a sensible balance and ensure that together we solve all the challenges we face, god knows what the reality will be...
Although, lets be honest, we probably do know what the answer will be. And it isn't what i am thinking right now...
