Well I have just done what I swore not to, what I have counselled my friends against, what all my reading and experience tells me is the wrong thing to do...I gave DS formula to make him go to sleep... AND IT WORKED

We had a bad night - feeding 3 hourly, up at 6am, feeding 1/2 - 2 hourly - two tiny naps - I just didn't have it in me to keep going. I tried lying in bed with him - he thought it was great fun - tried rocking, patting, leaving him in his cot....

and then I made a 90ml bottle of formula and gave it to him and he went to sleep

I feel terrible - I just keep remembering someone saying to me "of course they sleep, its like concrete in their tummies"

He starts daycare in two weeks and will HAVE to have some formula then...I can't believe I gave in - I feel so selfish...

Thanks for listening
