don't know how this is possible but dc3 needs much less sleep than I do!
Older 2 dcs slept normally (as in woke in night for feeding/when ill etc but generally slept at night and had some form of nap). Dc3 (10 months) just doesn't seem to need much sleep!
Typical day is up at 7am ish, awake all day with 1 or 2 brief (ie 15 mins ish) naps, usually this brief shut eye is multi tasked with a breast feed, so will snooze while feeding and wake up as soon as I move when finished.
Will fall asleep usually sometime between 9 and 10pm at night.
Wakes up at 2am and 5am every night (I stopped the night feeds a couple of weeks ago but still get wake ups at exactly the same times regardless!!) then wake up for the day again at 7am.
If for any reason bedtime us earlier than 9pm (occasionally there will be no 15min snooze in the day and so falls asleep at 7 or 8pm) then we are up raring to start the day no later than 5am!
There is no indication that any more sleep is needed at all! No grumpiness, no yawning, etc, all thetime she is awake she is cheerful, grinning and very active.
I go to bed as soon as she does at night and yet I am still exhausted every day. How is this possible when she isn't?!
