River started off quite a good sleeper, sleeping for 3hrs most nights. However over the last 2 weeks or so things have changed and I feel like a zombie. I thought as the weeks rolled by his sleeping would get better not worse.
About 3 weeks ago i started a simple routine, either a shower with dad or wash face and hands then change nappy, put pj's on then into me in my room to feed, then put in the basinet and this was all usually done by about 10:30pm. We tried to do this most nights but sometimes if jamie was working late we might stay up a little later so Jamie could see him. I noticed on these nights it would take River even longer to get to sleep. However it was working mostly he would sleep for 2-3hrs sometimes 4 but the last 2 weeks or so it's changed drastically.
River now sleeps for abut 3hrs to start with then wakes about every hour to hour and a half after that and its driving me nuts. When he wakes it takes at least an hour to feed him to get him back to sleep so i'm pretty much running on 5 and a half to 6hrs of sleep. I know everyone says to sleep when he's sleeping but he usually only has one good nap a day and in that time i'm either eating or cleaning or doing washing.
I'm in desperate need of some help!
