vent - was 16 weeks not sleeping again

[teapot]

Well Moo boy is now 19 weeks old, and 3 weeks on from the not sleeping
post - guess what - he's not sleeping again.

He has started to pee himself twice a night, this wakes him up, he
wants to comfort feed, so he pees himself again, it's a circle. I use
cloth normally but have tried disposables incase they give us a longer
night - nope!

We co sleep but his cot is next to the bed (one side taken off) so
that he has more room to kick around if he wants. It's amazing how
one so small can take up so much bed space. He rotates so that his
head is near me, I move away so I don't suffocate him, he rotates.....
this method ensurs him the whole bed by about 4am.

He had a couple of days about a week ago where he slept a bit better
but I am really battling against teeth, cold, pee and to top it all my
bloke has the loudest cold you can imagine - he's been in another room
the last 2 nights and Moo still jumps when he sneezes.

I don't feel that great myself but you can't lie around on the sofa if
your boobs are going to explode and someone small is gooing at you
hopefully

Don't think it woruld work - Moo has a short atention span for rooms
and we have no TV in the house (tV licence people don't belive us and
keep sending us threatening letters!)

Ahh, well, cant last forever.

To add insult to injury now my cough has developed I pee myself
everytime I have a coughing fit.

joy
