He Sleeps!
My son Daniel will turn 2 in September. He has never slept through the night … until now! Daniel had a pretty tough start to his life and has been on medication since birth. It turns his medication is a stimulant so this may have been the reason he continued to wake up every night. With the lovely dryer summer weather now in the UK Daniel has been so well and has come off all of his medication. Result…within a week he was sleeping though. A few nights of disruption, but for the past 2 weeks he has only woken at the humane time of 5am.
I cant believe the difference in myelf now that I am getting better sleep at night. I am beginning to lose weight as I no longer grab as many high calorie snacks and fizzy drinks just to get through the day. I want to get out an get some exercise, I want to socialise more and I feel I can devote more to my work. I feel like a new person. It is amazing what sleep deprivation does to you, and even though I was only up for a few minutes at a time each night I never got good sleep. I now feel so much more positive about things and each day does not feel like a marathon.
Did you take the online poll on our Facebook page? We asked you when your baby first slep through the night. Results will be announced in the July Newlsetter. Make sure you sign up for it.
nette I am so happy for you, it is amazing what a good night sleep makes to one as a whole. Awesome news too that Daniel is off all medication. Well done you! x
Nette, this gives me hope. Callum is 13 months old and never slept through. Was blessed with a good sleeper first time round but this little boy is disrupting the house hold!
