Not sure why I'm posting as not really looking for advice, just feeling really down about sleep. DD now 9 weeks old and a few weeks ago was starting to sleep 3.5 hours at night, which I thought was great. Then she got a cold, then the hot weather started, then she had her jabs and is now.really unsettled.
Sleeps in the evening from pretty early - sometimes as early as 5 downstairs on our laps, then I take her up to bed around 9 and the past couple of nights she is unsettled till around 2- feeds a bit, drops off but will only stay settled sleeping on or sometimes next to me- not in sidecar crib. Sometimes I finally get her settled but now she only sleeps maybe 2 hours before waking again.
She naps in the day but nearly always on me, sometimes I can put her down for a bit but then usually wakes after 20 mins.
So fed up as it seemed to be going well and now feel like it has all gone wrong. DS shouting at me this morning as I had to stop playing with him to settle her for nap.
DH and I sleeping separately ATM except weekends by mutual agreement so he can get sleep and he is great but she is EBF so can't do much.
Please cheer me up! Sorry for epic post but v cathartic.
