I have the opposite problem to the young mum posting further down. I came out of retirement to have my son Taine who is nearly 12 weeks old. He was born a month before my 46th birthday.
I also have two daughters, one 19 and one 12, so its been a long time since I had a newborn and while some things you never forget ( like the delivery !) it's amazing how many baby caring techniques I have forgotten. Maybe it's because these first few months are so foggy from lack of sleep.
Anyway, I'm enjoying everyones posts and if there are any other 'oldies' out there I'd love to hear from them so I don't feel like such a freak!
