DH and I are terrible sleepers. 4 girls 1 boy here. I am trying to correct this before we sway blue.
thank you!!!
when I do the custom plans, it's surprising because I would say a good 1/4 of the blue swayers work nights.
I'm hoping this has helped my sway!
I am a BIG sleeper, slept for 12 hours regularly prior to DS1, after DS1 I knew I wanted more children, took multivitamins to get my body back on track then waited until he was sleeping through before ttc again, DS2 arrived. This time I conceived within a year of DS2 being born, he has been a BAD sleeper, less than 6 hours consecutive sleep a night for months, hope it will help!
OMG, both our boys started sleeping through the night a couple of weeks ago and I was absolutely ecstatic! Bit of a bummer now actually, but I can't remember how I even coped at work, and my mood has improved dramatically, so am in two minds about this...
I love sleeping, so hopefully it doesn't sway too much :worry:
I think this no sleep has taken 5 years off my life and that's no joke.
Im so bitterly jealous of people and their sleep and when I hear people complaining that they are tired and don't have kids it just makes me sick .
No sleep doesn't bother me. I mean, I take caffeine like Its going out of style, have big bagged red eyes, and no energy but if it means my boy still needs me and all I have to do is feed him at night to ease him, that's okay with me. It will be a sad day when he sleeps through. Mama won't be needed as much. These moments I cherish because no matter what they never last. Wahhhh.
Becca you have a gorgeous family! My DS 2 is named Liam. This is off topic but do you breastfeed? I've tried drinking coffee to help with no sleep but it seems to make him gassy.
Thank you :DQuote:

Apples are said to give off more energy than caffeine. I love my Red delicious. Maybe give that a go! But don't think you can eat the peels which I'm pretty sure is where the energy lies. So maybe after LE.
I also like waking up in the night with them - within reason!! ;)
I have BF five and caffeine has never seemed to keep any of them awake. I haven't noticed gassiness from it either - the one thing that ever seemed to bother any of my kids were legumes - lentils, peas, and peanut butter.
