aw Christy sounds like you have had a crap day - hope it got better.

Ann - I cut Jake down to 2 night feeds at the beginning of June but if he didn't feed he'd only settle on me. I was a mess bcos I was only getting sleep in 1-2 hour blocks before getting up and feeding or cuddling to sleep. So went to child health to get a referral to Riverton (a specialist sleep place) and they told me I had PND was a risk to myself and my child and needed to be admitted to Belmont (which is a specialist PND clinic). I knew I wasn't depressed, but I also know I wasn't far off it but I needed sleep - I was sleep deprived. So went to my GP the next day (27th June) and he told me exactly that - I wasn't depressed, but I wasn't far off it. So he prescribed sleeping tablets for a week and drew me up a plan to do controlled crying. His theory was that Jake was just used to the comfort but didn't need the feeds or the comforting based on his solids intake and his behaviour in general. I did not want to do CC. The plan involved my DH doing the nights so that jake wouldn't see me and would (eventually) settle. The first night he woke for 11 feed and Darren said he was pretty adamant he wanted me (read screamed) but eventualy settles. Woke again at 3 and settled in 30 mins, woke again at 7 for his bfast booob. The next night woke once at 3 and DH settled him in a few mins - he rolls him on is side away from you, pats him on the bottom and tells him he's a good boy. The days since have been pretty much the same except he's been stirring around 4-5 for a pat and then goes back down until 7.

Lucky for us his theory was right. If you have a GP you trust it might help to see them - my GP has known me since a little girl.

Hope this helps!
