Morning ladies! I just wanted to say that I wish I had found people happy to talk about this kind of stuff 3 years ago. I can really relate to the discussions you have had about alert babiesand frequent overnight feeding as DD1 was exactly the same. I also found the busy/quiet day seemed to make no difference either.
Interestingly she has heaps of trouble winding down and the quietness of bed seems to make a big difference as it all seems to come out!!!! DD has started some yoga at kinder and not sure whether it is just a developmental maturity or a combo of both but that seems to have helped too. Also we have a deal that if she goes to bed in her own bed and sleeps for as long as she can (really means no fuss/carrying on as much as possible but without saying it) then on aFriday she can choose either to jump in with us or have one of us in with her for the night.
We have had a few great nights after being up from 2am Tuesday until 5am. Somehow they know that I work Wed-Friday! Thank goodness for coffee!
Wishing you lots of sleepy vibes. I think you all rock for being so open about it. xxx
