Take comfort in the fact that you are not alone steering your mothership through the choppy waters/endless galaxies (ok I'm no space boffin) of night feeds and comforting your child back to sleep. Sleep deprivation at it's very best has halted play on writing on my blog. Last night as I sat eating my ready meal for one and glancing through Facebook (much joy is to be had wandering through this relatively new method of social media how did the women of yesteryear cope?) I came across this magical answer to getting your baby to stay asleep. '
HOW TO GET YOUR BABY TO GO TO SLEEP AND STAY ASLEEP WHEN THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE ASLEEP.
Oh dear lady how we salute you and the perspective given on this our plight against sleep deprivation. Oh how I laughed and then recalled the daft nights I/We have experienced thus far in our child's short existence of 4 months :today in fact, Happy 4mth milestone little one. You are probably wondering why at 2.41am I choose to continue to be awake writing this. For once I feel I have a zap of energy so I have took the opportunity to connect with the outside world for a moment. My other half and babe now sleep on.
I feel a sense of solidarity that at this very moment there are other mothers across the globe up doing a night feed. I wanted to share with you my FB find as it's certainly made me smile and get through night number 123. Good night everyone.

I remember those long nights well but as with all things they too pass... and suddenly those babies are four grown men!
It is funny, you just cant wait for sleep to return but at the same time I'm trying hard to capture every moment. Time moves too quickly. I hope that you are well Gina x
