Why dont these babies just sleep?? I dont get it. Ella's feeling much better these days. But she's still feeding so much during the night. I weighed her and she lost weight but she refuses to eat during the day. Waking every 2hrs for a feed and then takes about 30-60mins to get back to sleep - with rocking, patting singing. (otherwise she cries and cries). I'm exhausted. DH is waking up and helping at 3am and 6am and he has to go to work!
I dont know what's gone wrong or how to switch her feeding to the day. When i put her to bed at 7 she wakes up 2-3 times before i go to bed then every 2hrs after that (sometimes every hour). I use to just pop the dummy back in but now that just wont do...
Sorry i'm just rambling... i've gotta get ready for a meeting at work now. Hope i dont fall asleep.
Hi have just stumbled across this thread my DS was born 08/11/2006.
Luua we've had the same probs with Jake and I was beside myself with exhaustion. We fixed it in on enight but it may not appeal as we used controlled crying.
Personally I don't like it but it was a last resort next to being admited to hospital with a breakdown. My Dr put me on sleeping tabs for a week and my DH did the nights. We went from waking 2-3hrs for feeds (BF) to now sleeping through until 5am at the earliest.
