Peepo

Here's a little baby. one, two, three
Sits on the sofa - what does he see?
(in homage to the Ahlbergs and in memory of Janet)

What's new?

It’s February 20 and you are now 18 and a bit weeks old. You mummy has started to give you bottles during the day – you take two now – as well as feeding you herself three times. You have a bath every evening, then a last feed before bed at around 7.30. Then you sleep through until about 7 in the morning. You quite like your sleep, it seems, as you also have several naps in the day. I wonder what you dream about?

You still get very mippy in the evenings and being carried around by Mummy in the sling is the only thing that you really like then.


You can suck your thumb now – and you do when you are going off to sleep.

Mummy is a bit upset that you have got baby eczema – and when she and Daddy took you swimming for the first time last week the chlorine made it worse – but she’s got some special cream from the doctor and says it’s already looking much better.

You’ve had your second lot of jabs (and they made you yell really loudly).

You can be very charming when you are in the mood and Mummy says you enjoy Jolly Babies sessions more than you did at first.
