One of the first things I wanted to sort out when I was pregnant is where baby Everly was going to sleep. I obviously have a nursery for her, but for the first few months, it is advised to have baby in the same room*. I knew as a first-time mummy that I would want…
[dropcap]H[/dropcap]aving a newborn colicky baby means every single minute counts. Most mornings in the early days I often had to remind myself to brush my teeth (I know, seriously) and putting on a full face just didn’t happen.
