The other morning we had a bit of a miracle in the Poop Rainbows house.
We had a lovely day with little whining and long naps and then went to bed with bottles prepared for his normal nightly wake-ups.
Oh my, thought I. Perhaps we’ve finally reached the stage where he sleeps through the night. Hooray!
And then I caught a nasty cold and quickly passed it on to the Baby.
It was nice while it lasted. Sigh.
</div
Be thankful for small mercies. At least you had a night or two. Better than nothing, right?
I hope you are feeling better!

When a baby sleeps through… the total dream..pity your dreams are shattered by that baby crying every night to get to that eventual mecca of ‘baby sleeping through’. One day, one day. I feel your pain. #twinklytuesday

It was a dream. He’s feeling better and we’re down to one drinking wake up so hopefully we’ll get back to mecca soon.

We’re all slowly recovering, thanks. Poor wee mite, I feel to guilty to switch the monitor off when I know he’s sick. On a normal day however….

Haha, I’ve learnt over the last 4 years that you never really crack the whole sleeping through thing! My son is generally a good sleeper these days but he still often wakes me up by shouting and crying in his sleep! x

That is so depressing. I didn’t sign up for four years without sleep. Is it too late to return him?

Oh no, what a tease indeed!
I remember the first time my daughter slept through the night (let’s face it, it’s a pretty monumental occasion). I woke up, looked up the clock and then went into a blind panic because I thought something must be wrong!!
Hope you’re feeling better though! xx

Oh this sounds like our house. L will sleep through one night and then I think is this it? But then the next night or a few days later he will wake at 1am, 2am, 4am. Basically just for the attention. Here’s hoping he will eventually get it. #MummyMonday
