DS is 5 months old and since about 2 months has been up every 1-2hrs at night (usually to bf) and napping for 30-45min about 3-4 times a day. I rock him to sleep in my arms (then put him in the cot swaddled) or sling for naps & sometimes i spend longer trying to get him to sleep than he actually sleeps and he's usually still tired and grumpy after waking up but he won't be resettled. This also means that I have no opportunity to catch up on sleep myself.
I feel like I do nothing apart from try to get him to sleep since he can only manage to stay awake & happy for about an hour. I am starting to resent him and I'm becoming increasingly irritated & irrational. I don't want to be like this. Please help!
