I feel like I am going to die. I realize that's a bit dramatic, but I am SO tired.
We've been having major issues getting LO to go to sleep at night and I'm suffering along with so many of you, getting a few hours of broken sleep every night, it's killing me.
DH is home with the kids during the holiday break, daycare and DD1's school are closed. Yesterday, he let LO sleep for FIVE hours. I nursed her before leaving for work, he fed her solids a couple hours later and a bottle an hour after that and then she napped for five hours, skipping a bottle completely. So....she basically did not go to sleep last night and nursed all.night.long last night. This isn't the first time he has let her do this, and I've tried to explain reverse cycling to him and just the simple fact that if a person sleeps 5 hours during the day, they most likely are not going to need much sleep at night, but he apparently doesn't get it. Meanwhile, he got about 7.5 hours of unbroken sleep by my count. He did try for 2 hours to get her to sleep before that, but eventually I just told him there was no point in both of us being up, since I am the food source...so it's not entirely his fault that I got no sleep.
Thanks for listening to my rant. DH is a very good dad, he does just as much as I do when it comes to parenting...but this is ridiculous and I have got to get some sleep.

Re: I have been awake for twenty-seven hours :( :( :(
What was your DH thinking letting her nap for 5 hours?
I'd be looking for a shovel and duct tape.
But in any case, 27 hours is too long..and isn't healthy...I really hope you can get some sleep.
