I am so tired as I write this....apologies if it makes absolutely no sense. I am soooo close to putting DS on formula - to try and get him to SLEEP!!! I know this is not a good approach and may not work but I have no idea what else to do... I just YELLED at him to GO TO SLEEP and now I am crying because I feel awful. He is sooooo tired and whiney and grumpy but is refusing to sleep. I get him to sleep in my arms, put him down, crawl into my own bed (I only had 4 hours last night) then 5 mins later he is awake and whining in his cot.

He used to go down awake and self settle day and night - but this is now not happening. He has bf every 2 hours for the last few days and my boobs are really sore and feel so empty (even tho I know they are not)...

(I just got him from his cot and put him on his playmat and he wanted ANOTHER feed - it has only been 45 mins)

We have started solids in the last few days but it has made no difference to his bf demands. I am so tired I feel sick.

Can someone please help me not give up....or give in...I don't want to stop bf, but need sleep
