    have you got the cot next to the bed yet?

    I found that even though we co-slept, DD slept better by herself - she was always kicking crap out of me. In the cot she could throw herself around happily.

    You can still have sneaky cuddles in the night when you feed, I know we do And you can always roll over and have a peek.

    Best of luck

    Girl - catch your sleep up in the day. Doze on the couch, bare minimum housework, easy meals. The whole house is sick and you need to do a go-slow until this passes.

    Hugs Dee! Could you stretch out the day feeds a little bit to more like 3 hourly? I used to feed DD 1.5-2 hourly in the day but I found she wasn't having full feeds and was having a bit of reflux from having a feed on a full tummy, which made her restless at night.

    I also moved her to a cot next to our bed, and that seemed to help. The first night she went in there she slept for 5 hours straight. She is still right there for cuddles and night feeds etc, but I sleep so much better in between awakenings.

    GL hun. You may need to rewind your life back to those early days and sleep, sleep, sleep...whenever and however you can.
