Bear with it?

I have no success story im afraid, DS fed at least every two hours for about a week and a half. When he wasn't feeding he was crying or fighting sleep...

But last night he slept four hours between feeds and this morning he woke up as my lovely baby again.

I'm really hoping we've turned a corner- but I did think he had broken me- yesterday I was feeling sick about the night because all I wanted to do was sleep and he wouldn't let me!

I'm really sorry I hope you get it sorted soon. It will end I promise. ( I REALLY hope that he's good tonight and doesn't go back to very two hours!)

I think this is totally normal for a 4 months old and will pass - I know easy for me to say and tough for you to have to endure.

Josie ignore my slightly smug first post- he woke every two hours from midnight last night
I think it will pass but obviously not just yet in my house either...
How was last night for you?

It will pass but it is awful - can you go to bed at the same time as the DCs for a few nights (pref with a flask of tea and a tray of snacks). Ready meals, min housework, call in all favours, sleep whenever poss, lots of carbs and choc. Hope you doing ok. X

DS suffered with this really badly. You have my sympathy. For me it was harder than looking after a newborn. I'm afraid you do just have to get through it. I found that being very strict with bedtime helpful - for me, if not him! DS went to bed at 7 and I went about half eight. It lasted well over a month I'm afraid. BUT then he got over it and has gone 7-7 since 6 months. Good luck!
