My DS is nearly 15mths and insists on waking at 4am every day. It's been going on for about 3 months and I can't say I was chuffed about it before but I'm now 6/7 weeks pg and completely exhausted. With DS I remember having a nap at lunchtime, coming in from work having something to eat and sleeping the clock round as I was so tired but obviously I can't do that this time.
He is on the go constantly apart from 2x hour naps. I sleep when he does during the day but it just makes me groggy and i'm living with a pretty constant headache, really short temper etc.
He goes to bed at 6.45. (This is self dictated btw). For just over a week, on MN advice, I tried keeping him up until 7.30-8 but all I got was a whinging, over tired baby who still got up at 4 and therefore had even less sleep per night so have gone back to how he wants it. The room is right temp, dark etc so WHY DOES HE GET UP A BLOODY 4AM . He is whingey until 1st nap time but refuses to go back to sleep until about 9am
Any advice, tips, similar situations stories all gratefully received. I'm really struggling
