Hi Ladies
I dont expect any responses, I just need to get it all out.
Tyler is 7.5 months old and has never been a good sleeper, but he had started to sleep through which was amazing. Then, last week it all went wrong. He learnt to crawl, has a cold and started nursery all within one week. Since then he wakes once a night which I could sort of cope with, but now i'm back in work.
Last night he went to bed at 7, then was awake at 10 until 11, then up again at 2.45 until 4.30 and up for the day at 6. Each time he wasn't crying just talking, babbling to himself which then descends into louder and louder until he cries. When I go into see him he's either sat upp straight just smiling, or trying to crawl in his gro bag. He just wont settle, its as if he isn't tired. He is also a nightmare eater and will only take a few teaspoons at a time. In nursery he will eat quite well.
I'm a terrible mum, I had 4 hours sleep last night and was a zombie in work. I love my son to bits but feel as if we're floundering and no idea what we're doing. I also have PND which means i get good and bad days, the lack of sleep and a stinking cold just make it all worse.
Just needed to vent.

dont worry about being a zombie at work, they will understand. im sure your son will settle again soon xx
Hoping that this is just a little blip for you too and that your baba goes back to sleeping through again soon x
Thank you for your responses, last night was slightly better in the fact that he went down at 7 and then woke at 5am. Although he was zonked from nursery. I went to bed to 8 last night to try and get some sleep, but next door drilling kind of put a stop to that !! I am trying to get him to sleep abit later (15 mins a night) to see if he will sleep longer in the morning.

Love to you both x
ps you are so not a bad mummy - you desreve and medal for the first 12 weeks - you need to give yourself a break as Tyler clearly loves you and you him - surely that is all that matters x
