I'm a SAHM and I'll still do anything for sleep! DD tends to not go back to sleep when she has had her feed during the night, usually somewhere btw 2.30am - 4am, she babbles and grunts and won't settle. I have tried ignoring her, patting her back etc... but the cheeky monkey won't have a bar of it. By then I have my eyes popping out of my head, and plus DH has to get up for work about 6am, so I feel bad if she won't settle, so I put her in bed with us! She'll sleep really well with us. I'd be a mess if I was working my usual fulltime hrs of 6am - 3pm. During the day I am trying to get her into a 'routine' (for a better word). I think I was missing her queues and then she was overtired and wouldn't sleep for more than 1 hour. I caught her early this morning, she has been asleep since 9am and am hoping she'll stay asleep for another hour or so!
