Just a rant really. But advice always welcome
My oldest who now sleeps well used to wake every 1-2.5hours until I stopped nursing her at just over 15 months. Usually I got a few hours of broken sleep. But I was a ftm so knew no different and had no other real responsibilities other than a house and animals and all sleep training or cio was wasted on her.
Along came number two, who woke every 3 hours until she was about a month old, then she did an 8 hour stint woke and fed, then back for three hours. Until she was 3 months old and we took her to France. She started waking every two ish-3 hours. Which wasn't so bad. She kept this up when we got back home. Now we're back in France and we're waking every freaking hour again at 7months
I know this won't last for ever, I know it's only a phase. But I can't freaking function.
Our oldest doesn't nap ever, and hasn't since I was pregnant again. And the youngest is now turning into a very distracted day time sleeper and will only go down if all is silent (except white noise) and dimly lit. So when dd1 comes charging in with her "whispering" the whole nap has gone to pot!
I can't do any form of sleep training because the cottage we have until hour new house is ready is too small and even the smallest noise wakes dd1. So I'm up at the slightest noise.
Doesn't help I'm a bit of insomniac so by the time I finally get to sleep I've got to be up again.
Half tempted to wean her but then here goes mum guilt that I didn't feed her as long as I did her sister.
Blaah
Anyway. After two hours awake shes finally gone back to sleep, so here's to getting 40 minutes before it's day time for everybody..... 😴
