I've found the sleep solution...

...Acceptance (sorry if I got you all excited) bet this thread gets 100's of views.

Join me if you can accept that babies wake in the night and some babies wake a lot in the night.

Join me if you've tried every trick in the book and all that is left is to admit defeat and stop fighting nature.

Join me if you get an hours sleep and look at the clock pleased you got more than 5 minutes.

Join me if your mantra is "this too shall pass"

Join me if you have found peace (most of the time) with the way it is.

I will join you.

My boy still wakes once or twice in the night and I am happy with that. He usually settles quick and I'm coping ok on the broken sleep so in happy to wait it out.

My HV suggested otherwise and after a sleepless night and paddys and tantrums - just from me! - we stuck with what we know works for us.
(she said he should be sleeping through, to take his dummy away and let him cry it out - it lasted less than one night!)

Just noticed your LO is just one day yonger than mine.

I'm joining you...

LO is a terrible sleeper and I actually gave up expecting her to sleep when she was about 7 weeks...we co-sleep and during the day she naps on me - happy baby, happy mommy!

To be fair i'm an awful sleeper so I think she just follows me.

Welcome Mrs Random. Cute that our little ones are one day apart!

Welcome ImmysMom acceptance came early for us too. X

I'm joining you too! Apart from co-sleeping, it's the only thing that worked in the early days especially. I found it a lot easier to cope once I just accepted it. x

I'll join you too.

My twins boys are one week shy of 6 months, and they still don't sleep through the night. Not showing any signs of sleeping through any time soon either. And they hardly nap during the day. Half the time, when they wake in the night, they don't want to go back to sleep. I don't know how any of us are surviving. lol.

This too shall pass.

I am joining you to, mine has never slept through the night and I don't think he ever intends to!

Here here

Nearly 10mths of no sleep! Still wakes for cuddles in the night - I know longer mind them as I realise I enjoy the bonding and he'll soon not want them any more.

We co-sleep as we found this is the ONLY thing that will help lo sleep through the night. She is struggling with naps lately but I am starting to think my lo just needs her mummy to comfort her - so my decision is stuff the housework, I will sit on my ass all day and let my lo sleeps on me if she wants to
