‘We had planned to have our baby on a strict routine, in his own nursery, and practice controlled crying from birth. After Babiesknow we changed and we are so happy to say that we have lots of time in bed with our baby, we follow his lead, and we are all ok with the new family rhythm. I’m so pleased – this time is so precious and can never be replaced.’
