Yeah hello I'm awake! Just waiting for my 7 week old to drop back off to sleep after a feed 😊

My 2.5 year old will only sleep next to me with a hand down my top. 5.5 months pregnant and struggling to find a position which gives him access to my boobs to keep him happy, and is comfortable for me at the same time!

My sleeping patterns are very skewed. Needing to reset them but I'm going to pay for it tomorrow!

I feel your pain, trying not to fall asleep with a LO is torture.

I am basically nocturnal! I never sleep at night, just nap during the day.
I am hoping to start a new job this week, working nights, and I can't wait, it will suit me down to the ground!
I have always been a 🌃 🦉, I would much rather stay up all night than get up early!

I’ve got sleep stage fright- I stayed awake past the golden hour and now I’m worrying that I have to go to work in 4 hours

doubleshotespresso · 16/01/2019 02:59

I'm
Usually awake in small hours only time I get any peace except my brain never seems to stop whirring these days. It is exhausting and I still wake st 5.24 every morning inexplicably

9.5 month old refusing to sleep. She'll drop off for 20mins or so then wake up and cry. Had this for couple weeks around Xmas but thought we'd come through it. Daytime naps have gone to pot too.
Hope some of us manage to get some sleep very soon!

Rkay2 · 16/01/2019 03:02

My almost 11 month old woke up. And then I needed the loo. He’s back asleep. Loo run done.

I always struggle falling back asleep!

Rkay2 · 16/01/2019 03:02

Can baby be put down safely even if next to you?

Mississippilessly · 16/01/2019 03:02
