It would have been more helpful if the Dr looked at ways you could get more sleep. IMHO it is pointless to wait until the baby gives you a 10 hour stretch...it just sets you up for disappointment.

Why not co-sleep, or try and have an arvo nap, or you could do what we do in our house and alternate who gets up with DD, or demand a 'sleep in' day to catch up.

It is better for everyone to work with what you got. And you have a gorgeous, healthy NORMAL baby, who needs comfort and re-assurance in the night. Normal, normal, normal.
