Yes, those are my exact thoughts when i'm going a lil crazy at 3am or 5am or 7am..Gabe has been really waking through the nights past week. He used to sleep at 10pm, but we decided it was too late for a wee baby, so we brought it forward to 8-8.30pm...thing is he got up at 3am to feed, then at 5.15am, then at 7.15am-8am...that's too many right for a 3 month old? i though they were supposed to get up like maybe just once for a feed...so naturally sleep deprived Mummy went nuts..i mean i sleep at 11pm after all the puping, eating dinner, wash up n stuff, then i take like about 45mins-1 hour to fall asleep, so u can imagine...i mean i am fine with the one time 3am feed then till morning, but again at 5am at such short intervals? And worst part is he drinks a puny 40-50ml only...So yes i get pissed...i don't do well without enuff sleep..
I think i read like thousands of pages of info on the net...i tried a last feed at 11pm in hope he'll last till like 6am...nope, he got up at 3.30am, then didn't really wanna sleep, till i rocked him awhile longer..then got up at 7.15am!!! this time he didn't want to sleep..period...he used to wake at 9am...
Experts say we shouldn't rock baby, just let them fall asleep on their own...err....not with Gabe, he'll cry n cry, n we're afraid he'll turn blue or worse...
"When baby sleeps, mummy should sleep too"...this is what experts say too for mothers to get enough rest during the noon times...blah....Gabe sleeps for like 30mins in the afternoons..and it takes me 45 mins toput him to sleep...whatever free time i have, i pump milk...even if i don't by time i can fall asleep, he'll be awake by then....aaarrgghhhh!!!
So you see why i thought of Ebay???....yes i know...this is motherhood, but really i can't wait till he skips the 3am feed...please....please...
