Our first was a rubbish sleeper and with a newborn it's all starting over again...<br /> <br />We had early mornings (5am and earlier) for a long long time with the eldest but we recently had a lot of success with a sleep training clock, I would fully recommend it. We didn't expect our stubborn toddler to pay any attention to it but it does actually work...for the time being at least!Jenniferhttp://jenniferslittleworld.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865943628515255112.post-70453373685220872352011-07-30T22:32:23.475+01:002011-07-30T22:32:23.475+01:00Hi mum2babyinsomniac!

My little girl is 9 months old and also a baby insomniac, hence the name! I also spoke to a sleep expert who came with a plan to sleep train her which worked but only by taking her to the level that most newborn babies are capable of (waking every 3-4 hrs), this is still better than not sleep at all but now I am wishing for that magical day where she sleeps a full night.

I am on my third non-sleeping-through-the-night-at-6-mths baby so clearly, it's either me Doing It All Wrong or this is just what babies are supposed to do. <br /><br />We just do whatever it takes to get the most sleep - see above re 'Doing It All Wrong' (in my case - sleeping next to me, and feed whenever he murmurs). If I don't have to get out of bed, it's a winner! I couldn't be arsed to do any kind of sleep training with my second -he is a much better sleeper. Hmmm...<br /><br />Sometimes, I think about the fact I am actually functioning on this little sleep and am in awe of what I might actually be able to do when sleep is resumed. We'll be freakin' superwomen!eskacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701096255335673135noreply@blogger.com
