I posted earlier about lo having a cold on top of shocking sleep problems that have been going on for 7 weeks.
I only had just under an hours sleep last night on top of 2-3 hrs broken sleep for 7 weeks and collapsed this morning while holding him. I've been feeling faint all afternoon and like i'm not really here.
I know if we have a night like last night im just not going to cope through the entire night without passing out again. Dh will help as much as possible but he can only do so much with a really busy job to do (he usually does bedtime til 11 then I take over) but lo has been crying nonstop all that period so I can't sleep anyway.
I feel like it will get to the point that ill have to just leave him crying and I feel sick about it. But what do you do when they just won't stop, nothing you do helps and your endangering your own health and being able to look after lo during the day.
Co-sleeping isn't an option, it just doesn't work for us. Im tempted to try and sleep on the nursery floor so at least I can leave my hand out for lo to know im there but I just can't manage to walk, rock, hold, shush and have him scream, claw and rip at my throat all night again.
Just want to cry its all so hideous.....he's in complete hysterics already as he's so overtired.
