Hi all, so tired and feeling sorry for myself! Ds is 8mo and has never been good sleeper. Got gradually worse from 4 months and now wakes about 5-20 times a night, only 1-2 times for milk (formula fed). Mostly he is rolling onto his tummy and wakes up crying (a horrific wail which always sets my heart hammering!), sometimes he just cries for no obvious reason. Have never taught him to self-settle as if I put him down awake he rolls over and starts crying. Has been doing so for four months! He wakes every couple of hours in the night, then about every half hour from about 4am until I give up at 6 and decide it's morning. Normally try and bring him into bed with us but he just kicks, pulls our clothes and hair, tries to stick his fingers in my nose!, fusses, groans, rolls over, cries, etc etc.
Don't think there is anything for it but to hope he gets better eventually?! Just having a moan really as the last few nights I'm so overtired that now I can't sleep!! Haven't slept for more than a couple of hours since Friday night (haven't slept more than a few hours in a row for well over a year as also had horrible pregnancy insomnia!!).
Someone tell me it gets better and my boy will suddenly start sleeping 12 hours soon... !!
