What a cool garden Rupert. I also know all about growing weeds. LOL, they are such a pain. Stay strong. Poppy will grow out of her stressful situations. Hang in there. You both are doing such a great job being parents. Enjoy your vacations.
I was so lucky my mom came to my rescue. My daughter didn't sleep ,not during the day , and only a bit during the night. My mom did the nightshift, I did the day. I'm so grateful that she took care of my daughter so I could sleep and function during the day. So get help, somebody you trust. Put earplugs in and sleep. 😊
Gosh Megan I can’t even imagine how you must be feeling, lack of sleep is enough to drive anyone insane let alone for the duration you have endured so far. Really hope Poppy settles better soon ❤
Dear Megan, trust your feelings. You know whats best for Poppy! If you want to pick her up: Do it! The Times will come, when she gets better into sleeping! Its a long and hard journey, but you can do it! You are THE BEST MUM for your little ones! ❤ I love your Videos. 😊 Greets from Germany
If its getting to a point where you are mentally exhausted as a parent, then I'd recommend gentle sleep training (obviously no pressure if it's not your thing ofc) A happy mum = happy baby ❤️
I feel your pain I had two children and they did not sleep until they were three and three and a half , but they are now 24 yrs and 21 yrs and now I miss those years of them being little but when you are in those times I understand they are hard but they are precious and suddenly they have gone by , well done for being amazing parents soldier on you’re amazing x
Love seeing you guys out and about, your buildings are so much different than in The States. Hopefully Poppy will settle soon. I know it’s hard, believe it or not this will pass. Keep pressing on Megan.
Nice to see that life is jogging along. Sleep deprivation is the worst. She is a beautiful baby, so bright and alert. Hang in there, she will soon move on to the next phase. Beautiful weather at last in the UK. At least when you filmed this.
I feel you -- my son didn't sleep through the night until he was 3 YEARS old. I was beyond exhausted. I had my son sleep in my bed so that I could just latch him on, and we could fall back asleep. I hope Poppy starts sleeping better soon. Hugs!
Thank you for such a lovely video - it was so nice to see you all. Poppy is gorgeous! We’ve recently been through ‘sleep training’ with our daughter too, so I get that it’s rough. You’re doing a great job, guys. X
Jamie and Megan, the wedding video, so much fun and entertaining. Every time it appears in my feed, I can’t help but to watch it. Hope it sets a UA-cam record. Lyrics are so thoughtful and funny. Best to you and your family. From Clearwater Beach, FL
So feel for you with the sleep deprivation. We only had it with our 2nd child and he was breast fed for 12 months only because he would not accept any bottles. If he had been baby number 1 he would have been an only child. I think he just wanted the comfort of me there. The positive to this is he is now 20 and thriving and enjoying life and he is the most affectionate child I have seen. Take care of yourselves. I was back in work after 10 months with sleep deprivation and just cried all the time. It is nice now thinking back that I never thought it would end but it did and I can’t get him out of bed now. ❤😂
A sign of bright children when they dont sleep. Bless you i hope you rest when you can. Poppy will get the memo in her own time. That smile ... Mummy I dont scream 😂 Nice weather here at last, I hope it comes back. Enjoy your breaks esp rhe lakes we married there 18 yrs ago next month ❤. Big trips something round italy and france incorporate a train, boat etc for Rupert? Xx
We want to go so badly! Maybe poppy is a little too young right now, but we should start planning a big trip for a few years time? We need to get really organised, maybe we could record a cover there. x
No suggestions just sympathy ❤ Mum to a fellow FOMO baby here (naps are still a total struggle 😭) but at 9 months old my little one suddenly began sleeping through the night. Nothing changed, we didn’t do anything differently, she just suddenly grew into it and didn’t want night feeds anymore Hang in there, it’s so so hard ❤
Our Heart's go out to you Megan & your lack of sleep with Poppy. I have raised 4 beautiful children & our 2nd child was a rough one on sleeping. Even in the day, fussy, fussy, fussy. I remember needing to get things done around our home laundry , dishes & such because even with having a new baby, things have to stay decent around the house. I set her baby cradle up & put her in it, and I would walk by & swing the cradle & that helped her some to self sooth with a swinging cradle that I hand swinged myself. Today, I know you have ALL these fancy automatic swinging baby helps out there. We didn't even have pampers at that time, we used good old cloth diapers that would have to be dunked as they stunk with their poo poos (haha)😂 My heart really goes out to you as I have lived your frustration too on lack of sleep. My Mother in law NEVER believed me with telling her "How our little baby girl didn't sleep " UNTIL my husband & I were able to ESCAPE away to Las Vegas, Nevada together ALONE & my Mother in law was so excited to watch our 2 children who were then ages 3 years old & 7 months old , & when we got back from Las Vegas, Nevada on A MUCH NEEDED 2nd honeymoon & SOME GOOD NIGHTS REST, my Mother in Law held up our little 7 month old baby girl to give her to me AND she said to me, "If Grandma says IT'S BAD IT'S BAD." I told my mother in law, "I truly was NOT making this up with how she sleeps at night, I am up 4 & 5 times a night with her." Long story short, our 2nd child became THE BEST TODDLER EVER, always SOOO HAPPY, & Played nicely with her big Sister Happily and MOST OF ALL SHE SLEPT ALL NIGHT LONG!! HOORAY!!🎉 God bless you, Dear Meagan, YOU are LOVED and NOT alone. You & Your Husband & Family ARE BEAUTIFUL!!❤❤❤❤
Well, the blessing is that you don’t have to go out to an office job… Nap when you can, just as you are doing. This is a very temporary time in your life…it doesn’t help to know that now, but, it’s true. When Jamie is gone you could hire someone to sit with her while you take a good nap. Lower your expectations…. All that you probably are doing… Just offering support! Sorry it’s been difficult! Thank you for sharing what you can, when you can! Thanks for being real and honest! I’m in the US, (on the Delaware coast!) a grandmother…raised 3, g’mom to 3… so when I watch you all I’m delighted.
When people say don’t pick. Do what you want. They say it’s better to make them feel safe secure. There is studies to show it helps the kids to be more independent and intelligent. My kids are all very independent and head. I would met all there needs when they needed cuddles when having trouble sleeping!!
Have you tried getting Jamie to put her to bed and see to her when she wakes up, in the night. That's how my friend and her husband ended up getting their breastfed baby to settle. She was seeing mum and automatically was wanting to be put on her breast. With dad settling the baby, they had her sleeping through the night in 3 days. Hopefully you get your full nights sleep soon megan
I love your family and the kids are adorable. I have an idea try to give Poppy some cereal before bed it may help her sleep longer her belly will be full. I had to do that with my youngest. She breastfed for 19 months and I would pump and give her cereal an hour before she goes to sleep and nurse her as well. Just an idea.
Meghan I was wondering if you could tell me the name of your hair growth shampoo or serum you are using. There are so many out there and just looking for one that actually works.
Hello Megan, I understand how you feel about Poppy, I had a similar situation with my daughter. I went to a burned out because of sleep deprivation and working full-time. And dont get me wrong... I hate these methods, but the only thing that help us to make her sleep through the night at around 18 months was to let her cry. The first night she cried for 3 hours, I was going to her room every 10 minutes, no less. I was very very devastated thinking ¨where is she getting the energy from? 3 hours....¨ but then, the second night was only 20 minutes, the third night was 10 min and the 4th night she slept through, until today. She is 3 now and we get to sleep. Maybe this helps...
Why not stay the few days with your parents? I'm sure they will love spoiling her. Car jaunts used to send the kids off, Not far,, couple of miles, hope you catch up with lost sleep. It drains y xou no end, Take care
She may have an intolerance to something she's eating and laying down makes it worse. Don't listen to people who say leave your baby to cry. Why anyone would ignore a baby in distress is beyond me. You're right to go with your mothering instinct to comfort her.
What a cool garden Rupert. I also know all about growing weeds. LOL, they are such a pain. Stay strong. Poppy will grow out of her stressful situations. Hang in there. You both are doing such a great job being parents. Enjoy your vacations.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It's tough but we know we'll get through it. x

The Times will come, when she gets better into sleeping!
Its a long and hard journey, but you can do it! You are THE BEST MUM for your little ones! ❤
I love your Videos. 😊

Thanks Rupert for singing to me 😅, love it lol
There is a wonderful book out there called “Solving Your Child’s Sleep Problems.” Helped me so much.
Great vlog, you could take the kids to Disney Florida 🤩

Ahh you’re coming to my home county of Cornwall!! Just remember when in Cornwall it’s jam first 😂
If you have a cream tea in Cornwall it’s jam on first! 😆

I really sympathise: l had three dreadful sleepers one after the other. You have my sympathy! It feels like forever at the time, l know.
Jamie, where are your glasses from?
They are Polaroid PLD D381
Tommy tipee dreamaker megan, jamie my daughter uses this red light he sleeps so sound hes coming up 7 months its worth a try !
Beautiful chubby Poppy
Sleep deprivation is the worst. My son was 4 1/2 before he slept 😢x
She may have reflux. Hence the regular waking up. Have you seen the GP - there are meds for it.
Could it be night terrors?
Why not stay the few days with your parents? I'm sure they will love spoiling her.
Car jaunts used to send the kids off, Not far,, couple of miles, hope you catch up with lost sleep. It drains y xou no end, Take care
Megan, praying for you! Different reasons but get the exhaustion. We both have to hang in there!😊
