Sleep issues - for mum!

[almmummy]

So I am struggling to get back to sleep after night feeds. I was fine for the first few months but the mumsomnia is kicking in - I seem to remember this happening with DD around the four-month-old stage. Has anybody experienced similar? I was wondering if this is the time your body becomes so accustomed to waking up/short stints of sleep that you actually NEED less. Hope not - I love what sleep I can snatch! Let me know your experiences - ta!

I was like this with dd1. Was crap!! Funnily enough it never happened with dd2 lol.

Ds slept uncharacteristically well last night, 7 - 2 (I was awake by 12.45 waiting for him to wake up) fed him, put back in cot and stayed wide a bloody wake til he woke up at 4.10. He fed/dozed til 5. Ugh.

Why does it happen??? Seems so cruel to be awake when baby is actually asleep. Although I guess it is arguably worse when you are on your knees desperate for sleep and they won't sleep.
