Christy - yeah Aidyn used to wake up at like 4am have a feed and then be full of beans, squealing and want to play. I used to just put him in the bouncer and lie down on the couch next to him and try to doze...
But now he seems to have learnt the difference between day night - if he wakes up before 5.30(when the sky is still dark) he will usually go back to sleep.
I'm so sorry that you're not getting much sleep atm, it must be hard when Matilda is going to bed at 6pm and then waking at 3am, as it would hardly be practical for you or Pete to crash that early as well... BTW it sounds like Pete is a lovely DH helping you out with those night shifts! Not that I'm saying that he shouldn't, I just wish my DP would have taken a page from his book... he used to b*tch & moan really badly whenever I asked him for help in the wee hours.
I [-o< that you have had a better day today and managed to get a few naps in. I hope you're not worrying about anything like housework and stuff atm, as that is unimportant. Sleep is the best thing for you right now, so whenever Matilda naps, you should try and take it really easy too...
Big :hugs: for you...

Great to hear that your breasfeeding is going really well Rose!!! And it sounds like Amelia is getting into a nice routine!

Kelly, in one of your recent posts you mentioned that Asha was drinking less at certain times, well the same is for Aidyn atm. For the past week or so he is only drinking about half of his first morning bottle (no more than 120, out of 200ml) which I fing very strange as he goes 8 hours through the night with no food, I would expect him to be hungrier when he wakes up!?!
