DS is 7 months & hasn't been sleeping well for a while. DP is away with work a lot at the moment and I'm back at work part time, so the nights are sometimes tough on my own, especially knowing I've got to get up for work. For example he was up a few times in the night last night, then wide awake at 5am - I was knackered and tried and tried to get him back to sleep - and did eventually at about 7.30, but somewhere around 6.30 I was nearing the end of my tether.... :( I really could have just yelled at him - I didn't, but may have pummelled a pillow in frustration So how do you get through those exhausting early hours without snapping? He is such a gorgeous, happy, chilled little baby the rest of the time, I love him so much, and I just feel dreadful that I can sometimes get so close to screaming at him :(
Any tips on holding it together in those wee small hours...?
