So 11mo was doing so well. Not quite sleeping through but so much better. Now it's all gone to shit again. Started with his naps - he will only have 1 nap since earlier this week despite all the usual tricks to settle him. Then last night he woke up every 2 hours. Tonight he slept for 3 hours and has now been awake for 3. And you can guarantee no matter what time he finally drops off he will be up for the day at 6am. I'm so fucked off, tomorrow is my first entire baby-free day and have some lovely plans. Now instead of enjoying it I'm going to be a fucking zombie all day. I feel like cancelling. I'm just ranting really. I guess this is another phase to ride out (or he's coming down with something and I will feel like the world's worst mother tomorrow for complaining when he wakes up ill). Fuck.

Awww!

It’s awful :( I am the same with my 13 month old. His sleep is all over the place - no idea what he is doing. Just spent 45 mins trying to get him to nap having been awake 6 times last night. He did t nap and is up and doesn’t seem sleepy anymore?!

He has a cold - as per usual and is probably teething. My last BH was four days of him being hard work and this one looks the same.

I hope you have a good day, what do you have planned? Maybe it will be what you need?

I will spend the day with a 3 year old and 13mo mostly on my own as DH works shifts as a doctor. Oh the joys!

Thanks chosen - yeah I am still going today but I'm absolutely shattered. Will be buying a large coffee en route! It's so frustrating this whole sleep things isn't it? Every time I think we are getting somewhere, he reverts back to eternal wakefulness. I can't get him to nap this morning (was hoping he'd have one before I left) so I guess I will be in for another shit storm when I get home this evening. Gah. Hope your day goes ok and you get more sleep soon!

@Katnissk how did it go?

How are you getting on with sleep now? We are the same - no change. Awake loads in the night and very grumpy in the day.

I suspect much of the same tonight. We go through phases of really bad and then a week of not so bad (two wake ups).

Hope you had a nice kid free day - that is the main benefit I get from working having a day off haha?!

:)

Hi chosen - may day out was really good in the end despite the tiredness! And DH managed to get DS to nap beautifully in my absence so maybe I should go out every weekend!!
Night times haven't been too bad either - although I think he is coming down with something after all as he was off his food yesterday and feels quite warm this morning (just going to take his temperature now).
It must be so hard with 2! We want to try for another next year which part of me thinks is madness while the other part thinks let's just do it and get the chaos over with! Hope you got some more sleep last night!
