Just had a thought

  • Last December we saw the paediatrician at school. We have seen her twice before, and unless you specifically ask for another appointment, you only see her once a year as a matter of routine.

    Now, last December J's sleep pattern was erratic and causing him to be ill.

    A typical night would evolve as thus :-

    8pm - Wind down for bed
    9pm - Bed - (landing actually)
    10pm -'La laaing' to himself, interspersed with hollers and giggles.
    11pm - Crying as he has been told numerous times to go to sleep
    12 midnight - Asleep
    4am - 7am- Awake and chattering and singing ( well he knows a few words to certain nursery rhymes)

    He had dark circles under his eyes and was lethargic most days.

    Now, upon being told this, the supposed expert decreed that he didn't have a sleep problem.


    Needless to say, she is not a professional I would trust to help.
