[buggy1]

Yeah we did that 4-7.30, that;s the only way she'd go back to sleep!

 

[BevG]

lol it was an accident, i fedlying down as she wanted to comfort suck and i fell asleep but i always set up lying down feeding the same as if i cosleep so it was ok just a bit odd when i woke up at first

I had a terrible night last night. Was just settling down for an early night at about 9 when DS was sick all over his bed and himself. Seren woke up while I was sorting him out and he kept being sick over and over. OH was on nights so I was trying to juggle both of them not very successfully, they were both screaming, mess everywhere and I was already shattered from the night before. Ended up calling OH at work, luckily he only works five mins away and they allowed him to pop home to help me out for an hour thank god. He got LO off to sleep and helped me clear up before going back. Had DS in with me all night to keep an eye on him. Between LO waking for feeds and DS waking to be ill I hardly got any sleep at all am so tired today, just praying for a decent night tonight as on my own again and in desperate need of sleep! Xxx

Oh gosh I'd love to swap! Normally when my lo does that I get a solid 5/6 hours then 3/4 after at night! My lo has been asleep since 4, I'm dreading her not going down after her next feed and grizzling for hours xxxx

 

[Katied1]

He normally sleeps for 4/5 hours first sleep anyway but he's just decided to drift off which isn't good! X

Harrison has had 2 half an hour naps all day, the last being at 12pm, and he's gone swimming today! He was absolutely shattered by the time I put him to bed, but still fighting sleep obviously :/

Hoping he goes a while now, not just for my benefit but I genuinely think he needs the sleep x

 

[Kelly450]

I find that if J only sleeps for an hour or so in the day, his night is worse x

Yup we're struggling here after Jack hardly slept today x

 

[sophie_jane]

We'll, after s tiresome evening of crying and nit settling for sleep, E gas just done a 7 hour stint between feeds, 5 or which were spent asleep. Haven't been so happy to see 2am in a long while ha ha. Maybe this is her slowly returning to normal?!

 

[Ammdaz]

I'm so tired I could cry Seren went down at 8 and was awake for a feed just before 12 which isn't too bad but over an hour and a half later and we're still up she just won't settle properly and after last night I'm really struggling had to change her sleeping bag twice and her sleepsuit once due to sick. We're now feeding again and she's dozed off, really hope she will sleep for a while now. Hope everyone else is having a better night.

Ammdaz hope your having a snooze by now!

We seem to be getting less and less sleep each day. She won't nap in the day, and tonight she's been waking every half hour or so. She's going to be extra grumpy in the morning

When I went to feed her she was sideways in her cot...sideways?! She's that much of a wriggler. No chance of keeping any blankets on her at all over the swaddle so now I'm worried she's going to get cold at night!

Feedings also getting worse, she's slipping the latch again so not feeding effectively at all. Just having a bit of a nightmare at the moment!

 

[sophie_jane]

Have you thought of using sleeping bags, spin? E's also a wriggler and they've been invaluable.
Fed E at 2 but she was wide awake still at 4;40 making loads of noise for poor OH. Not sure why she didn't drop off after her feed, but rather that than the crying!

 

[SpinSugar]

I have thought about it Sophie, but in all honesty I'm scared to stop swaddling. She will lie in her back and self settle once swaddled but the few times she's broken free she won't settle or sleep for any length of time.
However our nights are so rubbish at the mo I might try it anyway!

 

[Katied1]

How about a grobag spin? X

 

[Pippacarney]

lo went straight down at 9.30, up at 2 which is awesome, but only had half her feed, and up again at 4 , this keeps happening! Any tips to help? She's drifted off again after only half a feed xxx
