Just wanting to write a quick updated on my new baby cousin Nikita! She is growing so fast and has put on weight. She is breastfeeding so well and is only waking up twice during the night for a feed once at just past midnight and again at 4am. Helen is happy with this as she gets long sleep periods between feeds and has a genrally normal nights sleep.
I have been talking to Helen about her pre-pregnancy lifestyle and she said she think it played a huge role in her pregnancy and the temperament of her baby. Nikita is a very quiet baby, doesn’t cry much at all and is very alert for a newborn. Helen stuck to a healthy eating diet while pregnant and maintained her fitness with swimming and light exercise. She had a long labour (24.5 hours) however coped really well and she doesn’t think she could have done that unless she stayed fit and healthy.
Can’t wait to see little Nikita again soon. not long now until her christening!!! 
Can’t wait.
