sleep is for the weak.

[misdee]

no it isnt!!

decided to try and tackle dd3 problem with wanting breastfeeding at around 11.30pm everynight.

so i am going in every few minutes to pat her back and go shush.

isnt working yet....

[yawns]

Persevere misdee!

It'll be worth it in the end.

oh, the crying isnt as long now, just a few wimpers.

i want to go to sleep, but she is in my room.

nope, she wasw lulling into a flase sense of secruity.

she may be asleep now

How's it going?

well she woke up as soon as i went in and started crying, so i just lay in my bed going shush shush and she stopped and went to sleep. she woke at 6am for a feed.

well done misdee, thats cool

it'll be cooler when i can get into my own bed without her waking up.

she slept from 8pm till 6am!

omgoodness!

misdee that's brilliant!!

i know. i should've got an early night, but i stayed up till almost 1am expecting her to start crying.

Well when she has done it 3 times that will be her pattern apparently so a late night won't matter.

I had one too, went out with dh for a meal. Lovely, until the mobile rang halfway through!!!

isnt the 3rd night meant to be the hardest?

Love thread title. seems to be ds2's motto.

i am going to bed early tonight, and hoping she sleeps through. i want to be one of those mums who looks lovely andrefreshed in the mornings, instead of yawning my way to the school gate after being kept up all night.

extended it to the early morning wakings, sospent from 5.30 this morning patting her back, gently telling her its still night time, to shushing until 7am when my alarm went off.

so she is now having a 3hour nap! shite.

Why arent children programmable lol

surpisingly she has gone off to sleep no problem.
