The worst night since Emma's birth. It went a bit like this.

7pm The snow elf is fed and in bed. Mum and Dad settle down to yummy tuna pasta suprise.
7.15 Snow Elf starts crying.
7.30 Pick up Snow Elf and cuddle her.
7.30 - 10pm Cuddle SE. Rock SE. Jiggle SE. Tuna pasta suprise goes cold. Whisper soothing words to SE. Walk around flat with SE in arms. Breastfeed SE. Lie in bed with SE. All useless.
10pm-10.30pm SE sleeps, fitfully.
10.30pm - 1am Repeat of 7.30pm - 10pm scenario, plus tears (Mum's) and handwringing and Calpol.
1am-4am SE falls asleep in Mum and Dad's bed, on Dad's chest.
4am - 6am Repeat of 7.30pm and 10.30pm scenarios.
6am SE and Dad fall asleep in spare bed.
7am Time to get up.
