My son is two months on Wednesday. He decided to ring in the new year by waking up at midnight - so far so normal - and then not going back to sleep until at least 3.30am. He would drop off to sleep on me (or the boob) but the minute he was put down he would writhe and grunt or just BE awake. He spent those hours breastfeeding a lot of the time. He then woke up again at 5am and continued same pattern. Even when swaddled tightly he would escape and wake himself up.


I think overall he slept about four hours and me even less. Even now getting him to nap is a huge struggle. He is extremely restless, making a lot of noise even when asleep finally on bouncy chair with vibration on and someone bouncing him constantly.


Most nights he will go to bed between 7.30-8.30pm and wake between 12-2am and again at least once more in the night but would breastfeed briefly and then go to sleep fairly easily.



Anyone experienced this? Is it an extreme growth spurt?


Happy 2011 to all of you and hope you have slept more than me!

Poor you.... We have those sorts of nights every so often. Totally out of character and (thankfully) usually seem to just be the odd night or two before Baby GG gets back into his normal pattern. I put them down to growth or developmental changes because (apart from one on Boxing Day night when it was illness) there never seems to be another reason. Try not to worry and hopefully it'll pass and baby will be back on form soon...


(Happy New Year!)

That does sound likely. I have noticed that he seems tO have found his hands today and is deliberately trying to suck them. Also seems interested in toys and baby gym etc. But he has been completely unable to switch off all day and I had to use a Velcro swaddle to restrain his constantly moving limbs. Hope he calms down soon because he is scaring me a little. Pray he sleeps tonight at least a little better

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
