What am I doing wrong?

[paradise lost]

Hey Ryn,

I can't help i'm afraid as DD is also doing some crazy erratic thing with her sleep patterns but i wanted to tell you that when i was a baby i was a NIGHTMARE and didn't sleep well until i was like, 6 or something, BUT my mum told me that she felt it was my intellect (child-genius, but where is it now?) making me so thirsty to learn. I still find it difficult to "switch off" now.

I was a straight-A student and i gave them the least worry as a teenager as i was so level-headed, and they always maintained the sleeplessness was worth this. So, no comfort for just now but i'm sure these things do balance out in the end....

for you

Hana, I slept through from 8 weeks, slept until 8am every morning as a baby and toddler, was a child genius (although a B student at 16), would buy my mum chocolates/flowers when she was feeling fed up with the world, never went off the rails... my sister gave my mother 13 months of sleepless nights, is highly intelligent and was completely off the rails most of her senior school life - my mother still worries about her; she's now 24.

Still, who ever heard of a 15 year old needing rocking, jigging and singing to sleep, then crawling into their mother's bed the second they wake up? A big plus is that while DS doesn't sleep through I don't have to sleep with DH!

Needing a big feed every 2 hours overnight... well, he is due a growth spurt!
