Welcome to vets.
Just wondnering, is there any particular area which you are looking for tips in? Or just general>

[Shane<3]

basically just generaly stuffs.
im curently breast feeding her with a bottle (if that makes sense)
i keep getting told i should be moving her into more of a routine, but i kinda thought she was in one, although it doesnt match my sleep pattern.
idk...

tbh, babies find there own routine, i really don't like it when people force a routine upon there child.
She's 2weeks old so please don't fret about her not being in a routine, she'll find her own one and you have to adjust to her routine.

This first few weeks are all about getting to know each other, bonding and resting as and when possible.
Make sure you take time out to see your friends, or get your friends to come over. Because i've found being a parent to be very lonely, even though i have family around me. So every so often, go out, do things you used to do before she was born.

Erm...my minds a bit blank right now, but when i'm less tired, i'll prolly reply again.

and charcoal, that really helps thanks, im currently trying the whole, when she's sleeping, so am i, thing, and it seems to be helping, im less exhausted than i was, but i am still at the stage where i didnt realsie you could be this tired.
