Hello

Last night the kids' godparents came for tea. God mum was talking about this friend who has weaned her DS down to one night feed so that she can sleep at night. I night-weaned DD at 6mths and she just woke more and then I couldn't use the boob to settle her.

Someone asked me today how many times DS2 is waking and I don't even know. He wakes some time between 10pm and midnight and is awake for generally an hour or two, before I either succeed in getting him back to sleep in his cot or give up and take him into bed. If he's in his cot, he sleeps for maybe another hour or two and we repeat the cycle. Once he ends up in our bed, I have no idea how often he wakes, none at all.

The big kids aren't too bad any more. Ds1 is better than the big girl... But wakes at like 5 or 6am. Big girl still wakes overnight, most nights.

I hate this club - the children who don't sleep club. But I belong here. I hope my membership is revoked soon... Really soon.
