So, my son started leap 4 yesterday... he has ALWAYS been a shit sleeper since birth during the night... day time was fine he'd sleep for a sometimes good 3 hours for naps, during the night he'd wake up every 2-3 hours the longest he has ever done was 6. Until tonight... yesterday because of the start of the leap, he screamed and screamed and screamed, wouldn't me put him down and only did 20 minute naps the whole day!

WELL. Trying to get him to sleep lastnight was horrid and it took me over an hour probably 2... I GAVE UP and thought, fuck it... i'm going to swaddle him... i haven't swaddled him for WEEKS, probably since he was 13 weeks, he's now almost 18 weeks old... Anyway, so i swaddled him. I KNOW you aren't supposed to because of the rolling over (which he is doing) but i religious checked on him.

I put him down around 6:30pm lastnight FINALLY after battling him through his screaming, as soon as i swaddled him? OUT like a light!

So i left him, kept checking on him. I haven't slept much at all tonight though, my insomnia has returned 😑

But, i've just woken up and guess what the time is... 4AM!

ARE YOU JOKING! I had to check the time several times... i kept looking at my phone to see if the time was real... he just slept for almost 10 hours?! NEVER in his life has he done that... i can't believe it. All because i swaddled him, and he didn't even roll over! He stayed still the whole night, he's just woken up for a feed and he didn't even suckle that much he's now asleep again... what the hell is happening.
