I hope it is that simple for you! I understand the apprehension about the tummy sleeping. The first few times I allowed my DS to do it, I was in there checking on him all the time. I hope you got some sleep yourself last night so you can have a better day today.
Thanks all. Today was SO much rosier after a decent sleep! It's amazing how much you appreciate the simple things like a shower by yourself or 6 whole hours of sleep when you've been deprived!
Fx for tonight!
So pleased to hear!
Must have been a delightful day today with a well rested boy and a mum who is catching up!
Well done you and I will most certainly be crossing fingers for you. x
Yay, 6 hours is simply delightful, sending you (and DS) sleepy vibes for tonight x
So pleased to hear it. My friend had similar experience with her bub- now 7mths. He was miserable on his back- cried heaps- but slept on his tummy. My 5mth DD now rolls herself onto her tummy every time I put her on her back so I now sometimes put her down this way. Hope u have another solid sleep tonight! You deserve it :)

Hi lovey,I dont have any advice i just had relief when i read this,oh i just cant believe it i am currently going through exactly the same thing,i couldnt have written it better myself every night i promise myself i will try not to get like that with DD but i do,my DS is also 5 months and he also sleeps bad during the day and even worse at night some nights hes up every hour,ive been helpless and not knowing what to do i cant even work out the problem because DD was always and still is a good sleeper.Last night he was up not as much as usual but i put him down at half 7 he was awake at 8.20 then amazingly not till half 11!thats been thelongest in i dont know how long,its so hard isnt it,i feel the same my little guy is just gorgeous and i dont want to wish this time away either as hes our last but im just knackered,being up all night and then going all day is a killer,DD doesnt day sleep anymore either,i also have the same problem with DH he gets up early for work so hes the one who gets the sleep ins on weekends.sorry im just raving about me here i just wanted to say it helped me hearing im not alone and i dont know what to do either,if i could work out why DS isnt sleeping maybe,hes alot clinger than DD ever was maybe thats it,the other night i thought is there a sleep school i can go to even nothing makes sense with no sleep hey?Hugs to you i know where your at,glad you had some descent sleep and hope it keeps up!
Aww big hugs Hun. It sucks hey?! Hoping you get some decent sleep very very soon.
Well, tummy-sleeping has helped... to some extent. The previous nights since my last post were goodish with only two wake-ups. Last night was revolting, mainly because at 3am he decided it was party time and nothing I did would get him back to sleep. Then just as I finally got him down at 4.30, DD woke SCREAMING... wait for it... because her toes were sticking out the end of her sheets. Grrrrr. DH woke me up again at 5.30 as he left for work, DD had cold toes again at 6ish and then both were up for the day at 7.
Sorry.... know you all don't need a blow-by-blow run-down, but I've gotta debrief and DH is sick of hearing it!
Also no difference on the naps, regardless of position. Speaking of which, he's awake again after exactly 30 mins. There goes my down-time!
:rofl: You have to laugh at stuff like that though!
When DS stays out at my parents' place he sleeps in a queen-size bed. a few times now he's woken them screaming in the night because he "got lost" and couldn't find his pillows. poor love.
