I don't even know where to start with last night. My anxiety got really bad and by 12 I still couldn't sleep. Ended up having some sort anxiety attack, I've never had one before so I have no idea if it was even that, but something happened. Lots of tears. Was exhausted. Now Zaid is a great sleeper. Once he's down he's down till morning. He woke up 15 mins after his dad put him down last night, I thought it was him having missed his dad. But 1am he wakes again. He never does this so his dad gives in and brings him into bed. But because Zaid is such an independent sleeper he doesnt ever know how to sleep or settle in our bed. 10 mins in my husband is knock out and Zaid is kicking my head, hes trying everything and he can't get to sleep. At 2.15 I just pick him and say its time to go to your bed. Put him in. He goes to sleep. So eventually I get to sleep by 2.30am. 5am and Zaid cries again. I've always done cry it out for him so I want to just let him wear himself out and sleep. Because I know he needs it. Nope husband decides to intervene. Sits with him for half an hour and nothing. Decides to bring him into our bed and I flip my shit then because I know he won't sleep in our bed. So cut to 6am now, Zaid's crying woke Hamza. Me and the 2 kids are downstairs awake for the day. I'm running on barely 3 hours sleep. My entire anxiety about getting through today is now at a 1000. So yeah. Good luck to me and my kids today basically.

@chesscalouise hahaaa I need the days to get easier! Mine has never ever done this at night before, even when ill he doesn't do this. So I think it's even harder when it's out of the blue. Oh well. It's one day in the grand scheme, I'll survive xx

@chesscalouise loooool I can imagine! And yup he still wakes 2-3 times for a feeding, but feedings are okay, doesn't disturb sleep that much. It is stressful though if he doesn't go back down right away, knowing u have to be up again at 6/7 for the 1st.
