Shift handover with mum is at 2am, and it looks like the bab is going to take it to the wire tonight.

There isn't, as far as I can tell, anything actually wrong. The mite just doesn't want to sleep...

Bro, I'm sorry. My kid was the worst sleeper in the world. Still at 3.5 yrs he gets up once a night almost every night.

I'm well past this and still have flash backs and snap awake if a baby cries

It has taken me well over a year to convince my wife to move my 3.5 year old into our room overnight and let me sleep in the other room with our 6 year old (both of whom are waking up every night a couple of times and waking each other up).

She's finally listened and now everyone is finally getting some sleep.

My nightly shifts also end at 2am. Strength be with you in these difficult evenings.

Sorry dude! We're about to go through the process with our next kid. What app is that?

App is called Huckleberry

Huckleberry is a great app. I've been using it all the time with our daughter
