Our little man outgrew his bassinet at 13 weeks old, so we decided to put him in his porta cot at night instead of moving him to his own room just yet.

He loved his new found freedom and wiggled like there was no tomorrow (as he does)

This is him at 10pm                     and                              then at 8am!

We’ve come a long way from when we first brought him home. I remember first putting him in his bassinet and not being able to even sleep with my back to him. the only way I could sleep was if I was facing him and had checked he was breathing just before I put my head down (I often checked multiple times). Up until he was 6 weeks old, everytime I woke up, I thought I had fallen asleep with him on me and freaking out thinking I had smothered him in my blankets. I would be searching through my blankets and then realise that I had actually woken up because he was crying in the bassinet. As time went on though I became more relaxed and comfortable with knowing that he was okay in there and sleeping got a lot easier (especially when he started sleeping through the night)
