Cyn44smile - Is he hungry when he wakes, or do you think it's another issue? At 10 weeks, he may well be hungry and need that feed - my LO certainly needed a night feed as well as a dream feed for some time yet - 10 weeks is still very young
Can you post your daytime routine so that we can see if anyone has any other ideas?
In terms of surviival for you - can you go to bed earlier? When Katie was that age I used to go to bed around 8 or 9pm, set my alarm for 10:30pm for the dream feed, get up and feed her and then go back to sleep, so that I got 2hrs sleep before the dream feed, and about 4-5 hrs sleep afterwards, which was enough to survive on even if I couldn't get back to sleep after the 4am feed (usually I couldn't
) Can you nap during his daytime naps? I could never get to sleep during the day, but I know some people can. Can you get your partner or a friend to look after him for a few hours during the day so that you can get some rest? It is really hard in those first few months - but you need to try and find a way that you can look after yourself too
