I just need someone to tell me this is normal and it'll all settle in time.
DD is now 5 months and waking maybe 4 times a night, but often the 12am and 3/4am wakes leave her very much "awake". She'll feed and start to drift off on boob but as soon as she's put down again (cot or bed with me) she wakes right up and starts chatting/mooching/shouting.
Co-sleeping and holding her hand usually eventually settles her but we're up 60-90 mins for those periods and I'm a wee bit knackered.
Am I doing anything wrong or should I just ride it out with BF/co sleeping/whatever it takes?
Naps are great in the day- she'll go in to cot for 30-45 mins, sometimes an hour, for two naps while I'm at work. Then she'll have a good 90mins to an hour in the sling when I'm home, and then a 6.30-7pm bedtime.
Just the wakeful nights. Sigh. Anyone else at this craic?
