My baby is 14 weeks, and is an OK sleeper, still waking 2 or three times a night. He was for the first 10 weeks just waking once a night at 4, and I got used to it. Then he started waking at 1 ad 6 again last week and I've been really angry and upset about it, crying when he wakes up and getting upset with him and then with me. Was to begin with trying just to send him back to sleep somehow without feeding, but after a few nights of success, each night turned into a battle ground and much screaming ensued. So I've tried accepting it the last couple of nights and just fed him and put him back to bed and he's happy and settles easily.
But the problem is that now I can't sleep! I've never had insomia before in my life, but I went to bed tonight at nine and I still haven't slept. I was still awake when my baby woke at 1am, and he's been back to sleep now for 45 mins and I'm still awake.
