after almost 13 straight days of DD 5 months previously BF to sleep, settling herself using PU/PD and going from multiple wakings to 1/2 max, last night was AWFUL.
She woke at 10.30 so gave her dreamfeed, she didn't go back to sleep straight away but was happy enough so I left her chuntering and 5 mins later was asleep. We went to bed (all in same room) then at 1am DH's work phone went off, VERY LOUD, he continued to have a LOUD conversation re some work situation which totally woke her up. Then followed lots of faffing around by him for the next 2 hours, going to office back again, another call etc. DD was totally awake, fed her 3 times +, wouldn't settle got totally overtired, her poor arm and leg twitching like mad, eventually at 4.30 fell asleep on me in our bed (which we were trying to avoid since PU/PD).
We now have been up since 8am we usually get up at 6.30-7.... so what do I do now re naps for today? obviously she and me are shattered.... but I need her to sleep tonight.... and will she still self settle in cot after her 3 hours back in mommys bed????....
aarrrrggh help please....
