    I know the feeling. My DD has started waking up to 6 times a night after it only being once for months. I have no idea why and I'm buggered and sooooo over it. I thought by now we'd be close to sleeping through the night again. And yep I've had the tears of frustration and sleep deprivation, alot lately and it's getting to me.
    It's not easy being a mumma. We do the best we can. We're all doing a great job.

    Christ babe, we've all been there!!!

    I too would be shutting up shop on the boobs, unless it is something you wish to keep up. If you do, how about a "night time" bra?? As in when mummy has it on, the boobs are asleep?? I know it will be hard, but stopping the night feeds cold turkey will work eventually. My cousin put that yucky nail polish to stop you biting your nails on her boobs at night, and her daughter stopped quick smart!! They only taste nice at feed time!!

    For DS maybe an all in one sleep suit will keep him warm?? They come in big sizes now. Dont know how he could toilet in it though!!

    prob not much help, so have a hug instead!!

    I know how you feel, have been going through night waking with my DD on and off for a few months now. Not proud to say it just about did my head in last night, I was just so sick of getting up all night and really resenting the fact that even though my 6 month old was fast asleep, here I was anyway at 3am, eyes hanging out of my head.

    It's hard to take, you'd think at 2 or 3 sleeping issues would be over, and they were for a very, very long time for us. She slept through the night (13 blissful hours) from 8 months and then suddenly started waking again about 6 months ago. Like you, it's not every night, not even every week, but I never know when it's going to happen.

    I feel your pain...I feel like I will never sleep again.
