My DS is 18 weeks old now and the sleep deprivation is really starting to kick in and I'm desperate for some hope that things will get better.
He goes to bed fine around 7pm (he's often so tired he goes right to sleep but on the boob) but wakes really frequently during the night. If it's a good night, he'll sleep three hours from when I put him down but from 10pm onwards he wakes every two hours.
At least two or three nights a week, he wakes every single hour from when he goes to bed until I get him up at 7am.
I don't feed him every time he wakes, I try to stretch it to every three or four hours during the night, but whether I feed him or not, he wakes anyway.
I've tried feeding him every time he wakes, same thing. I've tried sleeping in the other room so he can't smell me, same thing.
Is there any hope that he'll go more than two hours at a time so I can finally get some sleep???
