Hi Liz, I'm a SAHM and have a little monkey who doesn't sleep very well. He has a 2 hour sleep in the middle of the day and then wakes at least once overnight. We'd been giving him a bottle to get him back to sleep but for the last 7 nights we've been able to get him back to sleep without it and he's slept through 5 nights in a row this week, so fingers crossed he's almost there! I know I could not cope with a fulltime job and having such disturbed sleep so I have no idea how working mums do it. I'm even more weary now that I'm pregnant again so it's a mystery to me how I could work, look after the house, make dinner, do the washing, give enough time to Ewan etc and hold down a 9-5 job. We are lucky that I can choose to stay at home because I just can't let Ewan cry himself back to sleep in the night, we did try but it broke our heart so we ditched it! Hats off to all those working mums who manage - you must be Superwomen!
