I’m trying to take some peace from the fact that sometimes you can think really hard, and try various sensible things and still be left mainly clueless repeating the mantra ‘It’s just a phase. It’s just a phase…’
These are the days when I have to look at the bigger picture and think about what I want FB to know in his heart – that he is loved unconditionally. That he is safe, and listened to. And respected.
And then I go back and re-read Pillow Talk, which is one of the few things on sleep and babies (well, my baby at least – which is all I’m qualified to talk about), that matches how I feel in my gutt. I can’t express how soothing it has been.
I found your site through Ravelry – your blog is lovely. We have a 6 month old granddaughter (gorgeous!) and have sent your link for Pillow Talk on to her.
I’m sure, if she doesn’t know it already, she’ll find it very interesting.
Kind regards, ShirlR (name at Ravelry).
So glad you talked about this! I’m struggling with the sleep bit at the moment. And at 4.30am I find it very hard to be sensible. Thank you for the middle paragraph, I’m back in perspective for tonight 🙂
Sleep deprivation is so horrid. Take care and sleep in the day when the v=baby does. Ignore things that you think you should be doing like chores.
