Aw I can’t wait! I’ve had a bath and feeding routine in the evening since I got him because we have more time then! Yeah I’m extremely grateful for all the advice, especially when I know so little so far. I’m learning lots everyday! Do you keep yours indoors aswell then? And you don’t...

I’ve got no idea if this is related to me or not.. I’ve literally got no idea where you’re conversations has gone ‍♀️ Ps, if it is me, it’s she

Thank you for the comment They are wonder, I’m just concerned about my little one because he’s sleeping ALL the time. He’s only really awake when I bath him, as soon as he goes back he goes back to sleep. Would you say that bathing and feeding is better in the morning?

Can completely understand your concerns. As previously mentioned, I’ve done lots of research prior to purchasing and found lots of conflicting advice hence posting on here. I was after some friendly, judge free advice as a first time owner. Thanks all for the help, I will adjust living...
