good morning all
after my 14th consecutive night of up every 2 hourness,I started to think about the so called "witching month" meaning the 4th month.My lo has been sleeping well pretty much from the day we bought him home,but suddenly,just when I thought all was going so well,he is having very restless nights with bouts of screaming,fussing and even singing!(just to balance things out I guess!)I have been up almost every 2 hours every night and have literally tried everything from sleeping with him,dummies,infants friend,swaddling,not swaddling,rocking, patting.....-nothing is making any difference and the only way he calms down is to be fed-even though it may have only been an hour!!I am starting to feel really down due to lack of sleep and last night cried with him as I am so tired.
Has anyone else been through or is going through a similar phase?Is there an end in sight sometime soon or do I just need to get over it and accept that this is probably how its going to be for the next few months?
Your shared experiences would be much appreciated and I guess I would also take some comfort in knowing that I am not alone.
