Apologies to anyone who's read my similar post on the breasfeeding thread...but I'm at that stage of sleep deprivation and despair where I start wondering whether my child/me aren't completely delinquent compared to everyone else's little angels (and it is NO help knowing I went through this with dd1, incidentally, as I'm currently convinced I'll be stuck in this loop for 5 years or so). Dd2, now a geriatric 3.5 weeks (so surely, my bonkers brain feels, capable of sleeping through the night, feeding herself and saying the alphabet) snoozes away during the day (she's waking up more - particularly when spritely older sister 'plays' with her, but she's still pretty somnulant, especially with the weather we've been having)...but night-times are just awful. She wailed last night for over two hours. Sometimes she's hungry - although it takes her ages to realise this and chow down on the nipple I've been dangling in her gob for several minutes by then. Sometimes it's wind. and at other times...I'm buggered if I know.
Any ideas? And please, please, please just reassure me that this is perfectly ordinary behaviour and that other babies do it, because I'm getting to the end of my tether!
