I am being driven mad by a constantly hungry baby, how ever much I feed him he still wants more - he is packing on the weight so I don't think its a problem with the quality of the milk. Last night he woke at 12.45 and still has not gone back to sleep. My other half WILL NOT get up in the night as he has started a new job and needs to be wide awake (wish I had the choice!).
My health visitor has advised me to feed him and then put him back to bed and leave him to cry himself to sleep - How ever long it takes. I don't think she has any idea of his determination! He won't have a dummy.
Should he be in a routine by this age? Any suggestions would be appreciated, even though I already have a ds I feel like I've never done this before, I gave up breast feeding the first time round because of all this crap and really didnt want to give up this time but I feel like a dead man walking, I can't even trust myself to drive as I am sooooooooooooo tired
Thanks if you even read this far - I know I sound self indulgent and misserable
