My baby is malfunctioning

[AveAtqueVale]

He's my third, so I'm well aware baby sleep is an eternally mutable thing, but having always been a relatively 'good' sleeper, for the last two nights he has woken every 20-30 minutes and now seems to be starting said nonsense again tonight.

He's a bit snotty, has started solids recently and I think he's teething so I'm assuming it's down to some combination of all the above but I am so bloody tired 😩.

Absolutely no point to this post but I wanted to rant...

Good luck for the night. As he's your third you know that even if tonight is hell on earth with 30 minute wake ups all night......this too will pass. Sort out what box set you will watch. Make sure partner and you know what shifts you are on to share the load. (With my partner that would be me doing all night and him sleeping but then getting up with the other kids in the morning). Good luck

Yes DH is on duty this evening so I can get a few hours now once I've eaten, then I'll do the rest of the night and he can get up with all three of them tomorrow morning. Thankfully he has AL this week 🙏🏻, and the baby is not as boob-obsessed as DS1 and 2 were so should be happy to be rocked/ cuddled back to sleep by DH for the first few hours at least.

I think I've been spoiled this time tbh- DS1 would only sleep on me and in 45-minute snatches for the first four months of his life, and after that only improved to 2 hour stretches until he was 1 😑. But I was ten years younger 😂.

Oh God those 10 years definitely do make a difference. 🤣
