Am I the only one...?
...who still has to get up in the night with their lo?
I've been looking through the April forum and a lot of their lo's are sleeping through too.
I feed Riley once in the night now but he still wakes at least once more screaming. It's so hard getting him back to sleep sometimes, I think he suffers with reflux and when he has these crying fits I just have to sit there with him crying (and me crying sometimes) until he calms down. I often have to get the hairdryer to calm him down and if that doesn't work I just have to put him back in his cot, go back to bed and stick my head under the pillow. It's so tiring and oh has never gotten up in the night with him, in fact he doesn't even wake up.
I'm starting to think I will never get a good nights sleep again, well at least not for a while.

It is hard and you will get a good night sleep soon. Its a shame your oh is not helping. It maybe that he could actually help in settling him!! Its funny to think there must be hundreds of Mum's up during the night at the same time!!x
I'd sit down and explain to him just how tired your getting and that you need his support.
Goodluck hun, we'll all get there eventually xx
You need to talk to oh, my oh doesn't actually get up to sort Amelia out but he will ask if I need anything so I guess the thought is there.
It is so draining night after night...especially if they then take time to settle. hang in there girls. x
I've been giving Riley gaviscon and I think its making a difference. The past two nights he's only woke once at around 2.30-3 then gone back down pretty well until 6.30. I hope I'm not jinxing it now!
I don't like to bother my oh in the night as he has to work and bring the money in blah blah and if he didn't get his sleep he would be very mardy the next day!
Thanks for the re-assurance xxx
Fingers crossed that it won't be long for you all..

Sorry kinda went off the point there. dont worry about los sleeping through yet, they're all still very young, and some still very tiny. How much does Riley weigh now? he was a small baby wasnt he??

He does go longer at night now though, on average its 6hrs but he has done 7 a few times and even 8hrs once!
But we are always up at least once still. He is 16wks and weighed 10lb 9oz 2 weeks ago.
