As much as it is comforting to hear Ben snoozing in his cot when we go to bed, the comfort we gain is being gradually eroded by the distinct lack of sleep that we are getting as a result of his early morning operatics.
He is definitely teething, and this is causing him to sleep less than he was previously. Unfortunately an early feed only settles him, it doesn’t put him back to sleep. Instead, he likes to sing for an hour or so before dozing off. Whilst the Zombie look I have been sporting recently can amuse work colleagues occasionally, constantly battling the urge to slip in to slumber in meetings makes for a rather stressful working day.
And so Ben is being relocated in to his room from tonight. I am sure that many people move their babies out much earlier than 5 months however it would seem that the time is right for us if we are going to get anywhere near a decent night’s sleep!
