Kaz - Oh Oh **put both my hands in the air** Alex sure is waking during the night - Lets see - DH put him to bed about 9pm - Alex woke at 11.30pm, then again at 2am (when I was going to bed) and he's up at 6-7am. He gets breakfast in bed (I lay with him and feed him, while I wake up). He usually wakes sometime between 1.30 and 6am and as I'm sleeping on a matress in his room, I can resettle him pretty quickly, by reassuring him I'm still here - otherwise once he gets his steam up, he takes hours to settle.
Kaz- DD wakes up ALL THE TIME. We mostly cosleep to get more sleep. If she sleeps for 3hrs in a row it's a good night!! I thought by 1 yr she would be sleeping through, WRONG. Nowhere near it. Usually 3-4 wakeups a night
Last nights effort was: Fed at 7:30pm and into bed - asleep by 8pm (not too bad considering the other night he stayed up partying until nearly 11pm ), fed at 10:30pm, 2am, 2:45am, 5:30am and then he wouldn't go back down so got up with DP. I dozed in 20min bursts until about 7am. Then he went back down at 7:30am for 2 hours but I was awake by then
That's pretty typical. He is still waking 2-3 hourly on average. Not sure how much more of this I can do. We don't co-sleep - tried it earlier but it didn't work for us So I'm up for 10-15mins each feed. Feels like I have a newborn still. Actually I'm pretty sure he slept longer when he was a newborn.
Sounds like a typical night here. I have to either feed or rock DD back to sleep, she doesn't self-settle. DD was a fantastic sleeper as a newborn compared to now! OMG I remember 6hr stretches, BLISS!!
how do you cope on so little sleep (or such broken bits of sleep) Heaven? You've had pretty consistent sleep issues with DD from memory - is it catching up with you now 12 months down the track? Everyone I know IRL has a better (mostly awesome) little sleeper and they don't get it.
So I'm up for 10-15mins each feed. Feels like I have a newborn still. Actually I'm pretty sure he slept longer when he was a newborn.
