Gee Cloe thats awful that you cry yourself to sleep,im sorry that its that hard for you.I also want to tell you that it wont be this hard forever,your baby will eventually start to sleep better, i promise you that, as i have been in your shoes.



Must be very hard on your own though,you are doing a fantastic job also as i have told Erin.Im glad that you have us mums to give you some one to talk to at your lonely times if your friends have stoped coming over.you are also doing a great Job and should be very proud of your self. I hope that your baby will start to sleep real soon..:-)

WOW. Just as i read ur post it was 4.14 am here. I also cant sleep because my oldest woke up with backpains and my youngest cant get to sleep. Its their first day back at school in a couple of hours after being on holiday and I have given up on the idea of getting any sleep tonight. Just thought id share because it seems spookily coincidental. But then I suppose theres more of us in the same boat than we realize.

thank you Ann and Tanya, i appreciate you taking the time to talk with me, its nice not to feel so alone, its the next day now and i managed to get a solid 3 hours sleep last night, lol, that was more then i was expecting.my oldest is being very helpful today, the middle is still sick, but the baby is having a good day. daddy is on his way home to bed, he was up all night at work and may have to go back tonight, he is really great though, he'll take the sick one to bed with him and let her watch movies on his lap top. things always seem better in the morning, so, once again, thank you

Hey there Erin, what a great mum you are,it must be very hard on your own,your kids may not appreciate it now but one day they will and will thank you very everything you have done...



Its hard i know i also have had many a sleepless night,but it does pass and you will start to get sleep so just keep that in the back of your mind on these stressfull nights...you are an inspiration and are doing really well..Happy birthday to your daughter 2...Hope tomorrow night is better for you..:-)

Dear Erin, I know it can be very hard, but always remember and believe this will end! There will come a time in life when your chilrdren don't need you so much anymore, not so physically I mean. My kids are six, four and two yo and I haven't slept in about five years. But now, I don't have to get up as much anymore. Your daughter won't mind her cake being half ready as long as she feels loved and special. And breastfeeding is the best you can give a child, but you know it won't last forever. So try to sleep, put your worries aside and believe you are a great mom, your kids love you and I promise, all this will pass. Good luck!
