Thanks everyone. It's been very rough but I'm really trying to remain sane. Joycenalex, that comparison was amazing and wise. Yes lack of sleep is sometimes effecting my ability to parent because I'm far more irratable then I ever used to be but I have been utalizing friends to help me with Quinn when I think I'm at my wits end. That's only happened a couple times, but my friends have been a true blessing. I'm able to determine as a parent when enough is enough. I've actually called my neighbor friend in a sobbing fit, sobbing so hard I could barely speak, because I felt I was having a breakdown. I had had 3 hours or less sleep every night for 5 nights in a row, and the 5th day of this my body began to rebel. Stress is a bugger.

And regarding honey, yes it's very bad to give a child under 1 honey but that really IS a new thing, as my mom made us (my 2 brothers and I) herbal tea for tummy aches, and to calm us down and such, and she sweetened it with honey and we all turned out OK. What is most dangerous is the unrefined honey, the real yummy, raw stuff. The refined honey is less of a danger but still a no-no until they're 1 as far as I'm concerned (and the doctors). Thank you, Liz, for the advice. And wow, your son is an Aerospace Engineer...that's impressive! You're a sweet heart. And thank you, Missy, for the warning about honey, you also are a sweet heart!

I sleep with Vince in a bassinette becide me and when the sun begins to rise and there's a bit of light in the room I put him in my bed with me when he's fussing. He has a hard time latching while in bed and I need light to help "guide" him to where the milk is. I can't sleep well when he's in bed with me because I worry about hubby rolling on him, and because he snorts and grunts a lot, even when he's at rest and not fussing. I'm such a light sleeper that his snorts and grunts keep me awake.

K9kraze your comment made me laugh hehe. Trust me, when I've been up 6 times in one single night to feed the little stinker, the thought MIGHT go through my mind hehe.

Actually, for the first time since birth, last night he slept from 10:30pm until 4am. I couldn't believe it. He then woke me at 6am so I only woke up twice last night. It was the first in 8 weeks and it was wonderful. I think he secretlly went onto PT and saw the trouble he was causing me and felt bad. I'm praying he makes a habit of that because last night was wonderful! It was the most perfect early Mother's Day present he could have given me.

Tomorrow is Mothers' Day and I'm sleeping in! Daddy is getting up with Quinn and I'm staying in bed with Vince as long as my little darling will let me sleep

You all are wonderful. I thank you for the time and advice. I do hope it gets better. I will try to get him trained on a bottle so daddy can help with one feeding a night if he continues on the 1-2 hour feedings.
