The baby sleep cycle is becoming more apparent now, the precise opposite of PP's, including waking at about two or three a.m., presumably for the equivalent of a feed.
Seems to me that humans have a significant evolutionary disadvantage in having such helpless infants, which need feeding so frequently. How did our ancestors roaming the savannah cope with noisy, waking infants at night? Did cro-magnon and neanderthal humans follow Gina Ford or Tracy Hogg when Bringing Up Baby?
Vexed questions. I prefer the littoral theory of human evolution. See http://www.sondela.co.uk/ and http://johnhawks.net/weblog/topics/pseudoscience/aquatic_ape_theory.html a truly fascinating site, with a beautifully clear description and analysis of the acquatic theory.

Bringing up Baby
Am gradually reading up on the theory of Bringing Up Baby - not this one www.imdb.com/title/tt0029947/ but this one http://www.contentedbaby.com/ and this one http://www.babywhisperer.com/
Despite what seems to be a right-way-wrong-way contest between the two, they seem similar to me. Or am I being too male about it? Basically, they both say something like "There are three secrets to having a happy baby and happy parents: routine, routine, routine."
Tricky, huh?
