Hi Ruth


Really sorry to hear you are having a tough time with sleep deprivation. I have no NCSS experience, but just wanted to say that daughter was also a nightmare (big shock after son who was amazing) and at about 6 months I too had pretty much lost the will to live. At about 7 months though, we really did seem to turn a corner. We weaned at 6 months, but I don't think the meals themselves made a huge difference, it was more that knowing she had been filled up a bit more during the day gave me the confidence to start being a little stricter with not immediately offering a bf at night wake ups. I thought it would be really tough and she would refuse to go back to sleep without milk, but was surprised that she settled pretty well (we obviously had the inevitable relapses from time to time) with a dummy (if that is something you can/would use) a ssshh and patting etc. My husband was instrumental in this though, as he would often be the one to go to her so that she could not smell the milk on me.


Really good luck and hope things start to improve, and sorry if this is all really obvious and you have tried it all. Just wanted to give my experiences that a few weeks on from the stage you are at there really was light at the end of the tunnel .

I was also wondering when reading the title but it must be the No Cry Sleep Solution

    • Closing down completely. The lovely people there are all retiring. Thanks, but Deptford is a long way to go to make two journeys to  take and collect a car! Do they not do even relatively minor repairs if it fails its MOT first time? Then that would require four journeys 😭 Wondering if there's already a thread on here for garage recommendations? People on my road WhatsApp group have recommended some local ones.
    • I did think that might be the reason, but five years out of seven it's going to be a weekday (I think. Not sure how leap years might affect things!)
    • Probably because the 5th was a weekday. We still have the weekend to come. Also, some fireworks going off nearly every night for the last few months. Last night something was being let off that made a very deep booming noise every 10 seconds or so. That said, if the general public are beginning to see the harm done by firework noise and choosing to use low noise options and refusing to support organised events that still use the full throttle type, I for one would be very happy. Does anyone know if the Herne Hill Velodrome Halloween fireworks event used low noise options?
    • Are they like the 'Gilets Jaunes' with BTL mortgages?
