I am so grateful, the Schatz offered to let me sleep in the guest room and he would take care of the squink until his 3:00 am feed... what a glorious gift. Now I am spoiled though.
I looked for advice on-line... I try to follow it, and sleeping when baby sleeps is just not doable, I go back to work in a week... I am not sure what else to do.
The only thing that looks like it was helpful, is swaddling.
Advice welcome and wanted. Wait, made that good advice...
Now, if he could just do this at night...
Co-sleeping and nursing on-demand lying down gained me a lot more sleep than anything else. You might like reading Elizabeth Pantley's book The No-Cry Sleep Solution. You aren't alone and it does get better.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a mom, but I do read a lot! I was reading an article the other day about how white noise (a fan, vacuum, even special CDs) can help soothe babies because it reminds them of what it sounded like in the womb. Hope that's good advice.
