The 2am Bottle That Put Baby Back to Sleep, But Not Mum

Shared by a parent of a 10-month-old

He wakes around 2am, drinks, and five minutes later he goes back to sleep. But then I'm still awake until about half past four.

What happened next

Her baby's sleep itself was mostly steady, but the wake-up still affected her. Even when the baby settled quickly, the parent's body did not always switch back off.
