I am currently surviving on around 4 hours sleep a night. I don't know exactly why but dd2 is extremely squirmy at night. She scratches and hits her face, screams, cries, writhes around, often resulting in a trump.
She does settle well for the first 2-3 hours from around 7pm in her cot. I don't bf feed her to sleep but she does need rocking/walking round to sleep.
But once she wakes after that she will only manage an hours sleep altogether at the most. I feed her again and try to make it a good feed, so if she drops off after a couple of minutes I try to stir her a little to continue.
After about half an hour the squirming starts and will continue all night. She will calm down sometimes with a dummy and rocking but we co sleep once she has woken and she mostly wants to feed. She will fall asleep again but only if she is using me as a dummy.
But then it's like she is having tummy ache from feeding on and off a lot. She won't stay asleep, although she clearly wants to.
I am very tempted to move to ff just to see if this constant comfort sucking will stop.
