Willow it's so nice to hear from someone who understands!! Omg our boys must have been twins in a past life LOL! I must ask... Has your boy slept through yet... Or how is he sleeping now?! (I can't see how old he is if u have on sig as I'm on iPhone). Thanks for sharing and it is reassuring when you hear someone has been there, done that when I really don't know any baby like mine!

Hi Danni, DS is 22 months and has slept through once. Slept through being he slept I think 11pm - 5am it was only a couple of months ago, and he slept I still woke every 2 hours The longest stretch he's done since then is about 5 hours and that's only been maybe 3 times, and again I think I only slept the 5hrs once out of that. When he was going down late, between 11pm and 2am, I started to make sure I woke him at the same time every morning, which is 7.30am. It nearly killed me on my days off, as I could've laid in bed for the extra hour or so but it did bring his bedtime back to a more reasonable hour. That way at least I got an hour as 2 of baby free time and got the kitchen cleaned or just vege while he was doing his first hour or 2 sleep.
Some days are worse than others. I'm never good getting up but some days once I get going I'm ok. All in all I think I'm pretty hard to live with most of the time DS is still BF and I get the old "you need to wean him then he'll sleep better" advice, but I actually don't believe that nor I am ready to stop BF. Most of the time that is the fastest way to resettle him and as long as I have to get up and go to work I've got no interest in abandoning BFing and arguing with him for an hour or more each wake up before he goes back to sleep.
