Isn't this sleeping thing hard with our babies, he was getting good, sleeping anywhere from 5-7 hours (start of feed to start of next), and it was more the 6 or 7 hour range, now we are lucky to get 3-4 hours, back to being sleep deprived. Must be part of a growth spurt thing hey? During the day he is feeding as early as every 2 hours too. He soooo does not sleep during the day much, Nana was here yesterday and could not believe that he could stay awake all day and only cat nap for minutes. Even at night after a feed it is taking me so long now to get him back to sleep that I get so desperate of sleep and I shuv the dummy in his mouth and turn off the light. I hate using the dummy as I find he does not get in a deep sleep and wakes up earlier then I want him too, geezzzz the joys of motherhood, no god dam day is the same. Nana and I even took him for a long walk yesterday and nope still wide awake when we returned. Last time this bloomey worked, grrr..... But the good news is, is that Wade and I were just so tired and went to lay down today as a family in the big boys bed as Wade calls it and yep lachie cried, I picked him up and nursed him with a shhhhhhhhh shhhhhhhh for about 30secs and out like a light. We all had a good 2 hours and Lachie is still asleep, yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!!! I just hate to hear him cry, he gets so hysterical, he wouldn't even attach onto my boob yesterday he was soooo upset. My friend told me that she read in a book that boys you should try not to let boys cry too long they tend to be more violent and agressive in their older life, what tha.... she can't remember where she read it.
