WHY does only moms do PJ drill or is it just me???

Deja, ek's fine daarmee om die enigste een te wees wat opstaan in die nag, as M net beter geslaap het. Een keer is fine, maar 4keer is hel

Nadia, at least I now know that I'm not the only one doing PJ drill alone! Ai, what are we going to do with our men?

Julz, I think that is the problem. Partner got so used to me being the only one waking up at night during my maternity leave, that he's spoiled now and think I can still do all the night wakings. But they don't understand HOW difficult it is to go and work while being so tired!!! I think I'm going to do that..I'll do the first 2 wakings and then he must just do the rest!!!

About the sleep training..my name on pampers is Alfies, I've spoken to you lots about sleep training and gotten SO much advice from you The problem is I can't do the sleeptraining cause M is CONSTANTLY sick. She was healthy now for 2weeks and now that next cold is here

Joli, I'm such a sucker. I feel too sorry for him to wake him up He doesn't hear her cry or he just pretend not to hear her, I don't really know. So I bottle all the frustration up and then things get too much and I confront him and he's actually never answered the question WHY he doesn't want to get up at night! What bothers me most, is I feel too sorry for him to make him get up, but he doesn't feel bad to NOT wake up so does that mean he really doesn't care?

I feel your pain!! I also do most of the night shift even though I also work full time!

I also had flu a week or two ago and I still had to do the night shifts...

Yes I know the feeling. I mainly do the night shifts. Initially I was fine with it as I was on maternity leave, but when I went back to work I insisted that he help out. If Dylan has a tough night I will get up once or twice and then it's his turn after that.

Not sure what you can do to get your partner to help you. It isn't fair though.

Sorry that your lo is sick. Once she is better you might want to consider sleep training. I had to at 7 months. My psychologist wanted to book me into hospital for sleep therapy.

If you need help let me know.

MEN!

He should have helped you from the beginning! Why can't he get up? Why can't you take turns?

Did you try wake him up at night asking for help?

Hi there

I've got a 9month old baby who sleeps REALLY TERRIBLE at night. She's slept through about 5 times since birth and the sleepless nights are driving me insane.

My partner apparently thinks only he gets tired and complains if he has to wake up ONCE at night for baby.

At the moment I'm sick, baby is sick, Partner just came back from being away for work for 8 days..and STILL I'm the only one waking up at night to look after baby! I'm so SICK and tired of this and really really really sleep deprived and it's so bad that I'm considering going to the doctor to get antidepressants and I'm hecticly against that.

Is it just me or does partner not care?????? I've spoken to him NUMEROUS times and it always ends up in a huge fight in which I'm told I'm the one that's wrong and then it goes back to me having to wake up at least 4 times a night. What must I do? I'm sleep deprived and really feels like I can't deal with this anymore!!!!!
