How much fun is it to reset your baby's sleep schedule?
Not much.
After much fussing and crabbiness, I convinced Patrick to go to bed at 8pm, instead of 6pm. He responded by waking up at 9pm, 11:45pm, 3am, and 5am. At 5am, after a quick morning feed in bed, I managed to convince Kevin that HE should get up with Patrick, as I had gotten up with him a million times that night. Amazingly, he agreed.
So Mommy got to sleep in til 7:15am!
For a long time, I felt that the sleeping issue was rather inequitable. Partially because I'm breastfeeding, but also because Kevin just didn't wake up. (He had no idea I'd gotten up so many times last night). Plus, I'd get up at 5am when Patrick was ready to start the day. But Kevin's been taking more of the early morning shifts, leaving me with the energy to do other things that Kevin would like me to have the energy for.... hee hee.

Re-setting baby sleep schedule ... not fun at all, just hope that he adjusts to the new schedule soon.
Good luck!
And stick to your guns regarding sharing the wake-up duties as much as possible (ie you feed, trusty husband does everything else).
