New born babies have only a few things that they really like to do; sleep, poo, wee, stare and eat. Some of these things that they love doing are also accompanied by the scream on the Banshee (those are: poo, wee, eat).

The worst scream that Little P does is his “I’m really hungry” scream.

Thanks to our experiences over the past (let me check the new counter) 19 days we have started to predict when the screaming is going to start. Not that we can actually stop him screaming, of course.

So we cradle him in our arms, give him a little hug and gently swing him back and forth until Mrs C is ready to dish out the rations and the screaming slowly but surely turns into snuffling.

Yes, Little P makes noises like a boar snuffling for truffles when he’s snuffling for a nipple.

Now, they don’t mention that in the books.
