I am currently sat on my sofa at 5:30am with a very lively baby in his chair next to me, he's kicking and gurgling away as happy as larry. I on the other hand am ready for a straight jacket, this being the 4th consecutive night like this.
He was born at 31 weeks and is now over 3 months (7 weeks corrected). I appear to have failed to get him into anything even close to a routine. He still sleeps off and on all day and I'm sure this is the problem, but what do I do? Am I supposed to wake him up during the day? He is breastfeeding and falls asleep at every feed. It is rare for him to be awake for more than an hour during the day. I'm at a loss as to what to do, just completely knackered, got school run in a few hours and just want to sleep for a hundred years...
