I have a (just turned 3 yesterday) little boy and i am 28 weeks pregnant. My pregnancy hasn't been a great one, My son is great with bump and talks and cuddles it but the early mornings and lack of sleep on both of us is really starting to take its toll.
He goes to bed every night around 7pm and most of the time goes to sleep ok and he sleeps through til around 6am, I know your thinking well that's pretty good and it sounds it from where I am sitting but it's far from it. If we put him to bed at 8pm or 9pm he would still woke around 6am and the less sleep he gets his behaviour and emotional state is so much worse. We have tried putting him back in bed and telling him it's still sleep time and to go back to sleep but we just get screamed at or tears and a constant 'mummy mummy'. I don't sleep great now as I can't get comfortable and I've tried going to bed earlier but still no better.
If I believed he was just a early riser I would just deal with it but his behaviour tells me otherwise which believe me is ten times worse with less sleep.
If anyone has any advise I would really appreciate it as, as i right this I am holding back the tears.
