I am so tired even 8 months in

[niceone1]

Um, that's it really. My little girl is the best thing that ever happened to me. But she is not a good sleeper and I am so tired I don't feel like myself any more. I think my husband is fed up of me. Has anyone else beenn in the same boat?

yes, our dd didn't sleep through till she was 14 months old. Ended up doing controlled crying in the end. Baby number 2 due in April, I must be mad! will learn from our mistakes though. The only advice I can give you is to sleep when she does even if it's just a short rest during the day. I hope thing get better for you

niceone I really feel for you, DS had a horrific period of starting the day at 4-5am and I was a ZOMBIE.

Didn't want to play with him, didn't want to do anything, sometimes I didn't even like him much. Actually felt as if I was getting depressed.

In the end we consulted a sleep expert and he was sleeping through within the month. It cost but was really worth it. Can give details if you're interested.

PLEASE give details, I am that zombie at the moment, my DS has stopped sleeping through the night, wakes up at 2-3 then up for good at 5-6!!HELP!!!

in about four years you will probably start to feel like a human being again unless you have more dcs, in which case it might take longer!!

but the good news is that over the next year or so the exhaustion will start to feel like the norm and you won't notice it any more...it will be a nice surprise in a few years when you suddenly realise "hey, hasn't life got easier recently!" and it dawns on you that you've been a zombie without knowing it, but now you are a real life person again!!

at least that's how it was for me...and when i mentioned it other mothers they agreed...
