hi guys...
I pretty much just needing to have a little vent! I have been so run down the last 2 weeks im living on about 6 hours sleep a nite.Bubs is 5 months an is constantly waking threw the night . so i am feeling very sleep deprived. I dont have any friends with babies so i realy dont have anyone to talk to or hang out with so its mostly just me and bubs. My partner works 6 days a week so i cant realy get much of a break away from bubs. She will have maybe 1 sleep during the day for about 45 min and i am realy starting to get frustrated at her! i get no time to my self wot so ever.
The only family support i have is my sister and she already has 3 kids of her own!!! I realy dont know how single mums do it!:thumbsup: to you all!
Im not depressed, i just realy need a break and need to get out!!

I so know where you're coming from! My DD is 6 months and does the same thing...will your partner get up in the night at all? I've found this to be my saviour at times. Also just getting out of the house for walks or to playgroup or whatever helps to break up the day.:)

I hope this helps

Hi, I know how you feel. When Liv was 12 wks she started waking constantly through the night. I don't think I got more then 2 straight hrs of sleep through the night for about 3 1/2 months, well actually until now. My Dh would not get up to her, so I was on my own. Luckily she did sleep during the day, so I did get bit of a break there.
With a lot of perserverence and hard work we are finally back on track. I read lots of books, tried different things until I found what worked. But in all honesty, it will probably change again next week. I never knew they changed there habits so often. Remember too, it takes about 5 days to form or break a habit.
I hope you get some :sleeping: soon, let me know if you need any more help. I'm sure I can offer some words of wisdom if I havent already. :)
