DS (nearly 10 weeks) is not a good sleeper- I classify a good night as 3 hourly and even then he very rarely (like never!) settles after 4am or 5am. Problem is he just had a week of not settling after 2am ish. This has seriously stuffed up my body clock and now I am WIDE AWAKE in the middle of the night and not even feeling sleepy until 5 am- just the time he is generally waking up with wind. Last night I could not go back to sleep after the 1am feed even though DS slept soundly until 4am. I tried relaxation music, counting sheep, counting backwards, breathing techniques, reading, hot chocolate. I am going insane. What I need is for him to do a long sleep even if it is the early part of the evening- not these piddly 3 hours. Dreamfeed does not seem to work. My DH helps out a lot but if I don't get some decent sleep at night soon I am going to self combust!!!! I get to nap sometimes during the day but even then most times I am finding it very hard to actually fall asleep. I have never experienced insomnia before- have always been an excellent sleeper- so you can imagine how I am not coping!
Anyone else had this drama? What did you do to help you sleep again? ps- DS is breastfed.
