hugs naomi. It's hard with the nw. We're getting them too, and i have resorted to nf to settle, even though i'm trying to wean bf. DD had sttn for 3 mths, albeit with an ew for all that time, but at least i didn't have to get out of bed in that time. Feel for your 5:30am starts. I set my alarm for 6am, though normally don't need it. Up at 5 usually. On the up side, DD has had 3 2hr naps this past week, and it had been a month without any naps over 1.5hr so that is nice. Mind you, it's been when i'm at work. She saves her special 40min naps for mummy on the weekend!! Yay for me!
Hugs everyone xx
