Re: sleepless

 How long has he been doing it for? My daughter did it for about a month I think.... I was feeling pretty sleep deprived and desperate, but then she just stopped....

Re: sleepless

its been happening for about 2-3mnths now, i thought its just something he is going through but guess not as its on going. my partner works so its starting to have an affect on the relationship also as he is always tired and crabby and has a go at me 4 it!

Re: sleepless

 Well, it's probably preaching what you already know, but sounds like you need to have the both of you (which is you and your partner) shift that behaviour pattern. Even though he works, you're going to need the both ofyou to work at it with your child to make it happen. Something like both committing to having a week of feeling ridiculously sleep deprived, and really tired with the end product of having a child back in a good sleeping pattern.

good luck, let us know how you're getting on.

sleep deprivation is awful, i sympathise. Try and keep things in perspective though. Loosing my perspective on how the situation actually was, was my biggest mistake in bad 'sleeping' periods.
