Ugh Mamas!
I'm going crazy here and need some advice or at least some commisserating!
My co-sleeping DS is 14mos and is waking earlier and earlier every day and it is killing me. This kid slept till somewhere between 6:30 -7:30 all summer. Heaven!
He has always woken around 4am for a nurse, but used to go back to sleep. NOW he still wakes at that time, nurses and goes back to the lightest sleep ever. If he hears a bird fart outside the window he pops up, babbling or sometimes crying - either way wanting to nurse again. I comply while he nurses, kneads, pinches, and gently kicks my stomach rythmically. My back is screaming, my arm is asleep, but I cannot pop him off and roll over or else he'll wake back up as he's not truly asleep.
No matter how long I lay there still and letting him nurse, listening for the sleep breathing sounds, the minute I move he awakens and then we start it all over again!
HEEEELLLLP! It makes for a grumpy baby and mama. Not good.
