Sleepless rant!!!

My little boy had his 8 week vaccinations today (I've not slept yet - so still feels like today!) & he is so unsettled.

He was absolutely fine after he had them & was fine all evening until about 10.30pm. Since then he has not wanted to be put down 😴 he's had Calpol & his temp is only a little higher than normal.

He's only taken 1oz of his bottle (usually takes about 3ozs at this sort of time (11.30pm ish) but not always; sometimes more, sometimes less)

I don't know how to settle him; he's usually so good at going in to his crib after a feed, burp etc.

😴 I can't stay awake holding him all night (I'm currently sat cross-legged on the bed with him in my legs, using 1 knee as a pillow & legs over the opposite thigh as it's the only position he's seemingly comfy in) as I have a 2.5year old to look after too so can't sleep during the day (unless I can persuade her to have a nap too! not bloody likely )

Not sure what I'm hoping to achieve by this post, I just need to vent to someone as DP is blissfully unaware & snoring away beside me 😠

Wake your partner up if he's still not settled by say 2 or 3 a.m. Even if he has a job to go to. You need sleep too.
