I just want to say a very heartfelt thank you, to all the other mums out there with babies who are waking frequently (and you have my sympathy). After reading many of the threads on here I don't feel so alone. I don't really have anyone to talk to about this but my partner and while he is very supportive I don't think he truly comprehends how soul destroying it can be! I mentioned the other day how I swear in my head at my lovely little boy, when he has woken for the 3rd time in 3 hours and he sounded aghast! I don't know if other people do this but it helps me let off a bit of steam before taking a few deep breaths and feeding back to sleep.
I was lucky, I had a wonderful 3 weeks where he slept through, until sleep regression hit. It was so much easier to cope during the day when he slept at night. Especially if he had a screamy day.
During the day he usually only naps for 1/2 hr at a time and only on me. So v little chance to get anything done.
It's so good to know that other babies do this too, or variations of this. So thanks again folks. May our babies all start sleeping for longer soon. Hang on in there. I'll be reading regularly, it will remind me this is normal, give me something to read when he refuses to settle in the night and make me realise that some poor souls have it worse and I should think myself lucky.
