Me Mum won't self-settle!!!
30 August 2006, 17:22
Dear Essential Baby,
Me mum is 35 years old and she won’t self-settle. She don’t sleep at all during the day, so should be really tired, but I hear her every 2-3 hours during the night, crying “What’s wrong with me? Why am I always so fucking hungry!?!?!???? Why can’t I sleeeeeeeeep????”
Me is not old enough to get out of bed to pat and shoosh her and me don’t think me dad does it either, though I suspect she may clobber him if he tried. What should I do? Shouldn’t she be old enough to sleep through the night? All the books say you shouldn’t need a feed at all during the night after you’re about 6 months old, but she’s always getting up and going to the kitchen which wakes me up!!! Please help me!

PS. What does “fucking” mean?
Permanent Link | - Dear Scout,
There are many people out here who cannot sleep at night too (right now it is 03:20 here and I´m at my PC). We also have hunger all the time (which reminds me: I should prepare a cheese sandwich and open a beer). And some of these people are 54 years old too. I would not worry too much, there are such bouts, then the going gets better :-).
Just be good to your mother and grow up easily.
Good night and sleep well!
