Dear Yael,
Oh I feel for you!! Yes it is just so exhausting when they aren't good sleepers. My first little angel used to wake every half hour from the age of (cant remember exactly) 5 months through to 7 months and I bought a hammock (Amby Nature's Nest) that made all the difference. She was the sort of baby that needed to be rocked or walked to sleep though and that worked. When I say worked, I used to get more like 2 hours in a row overnight, which to me was heaven.

I did go nuts though, until I found the fab books mentioned above (Elizabeth Pantley - No cry sleep solution; and a fab book by Dr. William and Martha Sears - I think it is called The night time parenting book). The good news was that when my first little one started to walk and use up lots more energy during the day she suddenly started sleeping for longer and longer until she slept all night from about 14 months. I never did any sort of cc or any real training methods, just kept feeding her when she woke and sometimes co-sleeping.

My second bub is in bed with us every night (and most day sleeps) and doesnt like the hammock much, but I guess I dont care as much this time as I know eventually it will come to an end and they will sleep by themelves all to soon.

So try to get some rest when bubs is sleeping, make sure you have quick snacks around for yourself to refuel and FORGET the housework until you feel better. Take Care,
Ange
