I HAD A NAP! Woohoo! 1.5 hours. I think all I need is more sleep. I have a yummy mummy meeting tomorrow. I've made brownies and one of the other girls has made pavlova and all our babies are three months old so it should be fun.
Kyz I think our sleep problem is that J needs to be on the breast to go to sleep so when he wakes for whatever reason or at nap/bedtime he can't sleep without it bloody men eh? Horsey he will take a dummy but he's not keen so it won't keep him asleep. I think he needs new sleep associations so I was considering playing the cot mobile when he was feeding to sleep so he learns to associate it with bed time. The only problem is I use that to occupy him when I'm in the shower. VQ I'll sort something out, I don't remember it being this tough with the first two and DS2 didn't sleep through the night reliably until last year when he turned six! I'm going to give pick up put down a try but I need to be in a good enough state of mind to be able to handle it. More naps please.
ATTENTION PEOPLE WITH BABIES SLEEPING WELL please don't think you shouldn't mention it because of those of us having problems. We're all fighting different battles with weight gain, sleeping, feeding, reflux, illness. I can moan till the cows come home about not sleeping but on the other hand J is gaining weight well and has only had a cold so far. From my point of view I'm just glad to hear that some peoples' babies are sleeping through. It gives me hope! Plus experience tells me it will happen in time and my mum tells me it's karma for me not sleeping as a baby.
Kyz it isn't twice as hard with two. Experience counts for a lot and it's much easier to get on with it. The night I had J the MW asked whether she should change his first nappy (I had had a general anaesthetic so I couldn't do it) and DH said, "No it's okay I'll do it." The MW made this face
