Ellie - I hope it's okay to post so late and add on here. I'm so glad that things are improving a bit for you. I was nearly crying, reading all your posts, because it felt so similar to what I went through with my now two-year-old. He's now a reliable sleeper and a happy little boy, and it got easier bit by bit by bit. It feels so hard at the time though, and as others have said - if you are loving and caring for your baby, you're doing brilliantly. I'm really interested to read that you've had the tongue-tie diagnosis as someone mentioned to me recently that might have been the issue with mine...who knows? - but I wonder if it generally more common than in picked up on. Anyway, be kind to yourself - it really does slowly get easier and easier, and then they're a toddler. Sorry if that sounds patronising - people said it to me in the midst of my despair and I didn't believe it, but it really is true. You will survive, and it will be so worth it, even if it doesn't yet feel like it. x
