    Aww olive, big hugs and sympathy .

    What happens if your DH gets up to her instead? Could he offer her water or resettle her for you?

    sometimes i think the past 6 months have just been one big wonder week!

    wish i could offer some advice or hope, but i'm just trailing along a few months behind

    i hope things settle for you really soon & that you're getting lots of support

    Olive, I'm in the same boat here. We were having good day sleeps to make up for the bad nights, but day sleeps have turned to crap too . Let's hope it ends for both of us... soon!

    Olive, DD always wakes AT LEAST 3 times a night (and that's between about 9pm and 6am) I never knew I could survive on such broken sleep but I actually feel ok lately, she has trained me well, lol.

    olive, 10-13 months was just one big sleep deprived haze to me, I have to say but things improved really rapidly from there. Hang in there

    Keep that mantra going, hun "This too shall pass"

    DD's 46 week one went on for what seemed like months ( it was at least a month or so) and then we got there and out of it just before she turned one. We've had a good three weeks (it's taken most of that time for her sleep to finally get back on track though!) and I think she's getting ready for week 55 now...

    Hang in there, lots of gentle hugs and sleepy vibes for your LO

    My DS is the same, and a few weeks ago I was feeling really good despite the months of broken sleep... However, recently it has caught up to me again . Really struggling these days. Hope you keep feeling good.

    I found that DD1 had this period during which she learnt to crawl, stand up, cruise and walk. It is a huge time of development and learning, and their little brains are working in overdrive. Hang in there Olive. It'll end. Sending you big hugs though while it's happening. It's not fun at all xx
