Ahhhh he's totally awake now. Talking and laughing and climbing all over me.

[emilillies]

Dd went to bed at 7:30, DH woke her at 9 by stumbling around, wake up #1 was midnight and now it's 4:30 and we've been up since 3. Dd only wants to sleep if she's held. Ugh

Oh no!!! I feel bad saying it but I find that to be so frustrating!

I agree. He has finally passed out on my but I'm terrified to get up. Why didn't I get a comfy rocker?? This thing is not the best.

Up again...90 minutes after I got her back down the last time. We'd better have a tooth or something to show for this soon.

[honeybee434]

+1 for wishing I had a more comfortable rocker!

DD actually had her first wakeup at 4:30 tonight, I'm guessing making up for the 4 hours of sleep I got last night.....but I still didn't sleep very well. And now I can't get her back down and I know I'll do the "my alarm is going off in an hour and fifteen minutes....now an hour....now fifty minutes...." Game when I finally get back in bed. I feel like I can't win!

[honeybee434]

Also: thanks, mamas, for helping me realize that I'm not doing something wrong. I hate that none of us are getting enough sleep, but I'm thankful for knowing that I'm not alone and some babies are just shitty sleepers.

Did you ever get him back to bed? I hope so! My dd is currently watching Curious George in her exersaucer so that I can have a cup of coffee. Very clingy this morning.

What kind of rocker do you have? Is it non upholstered? Wood? I have a cheapie Storkcraft one and I really like it a lot.

[ladytiffany24]

So, I've had a shitty sleeper pretty much since day one. But we had a long stretch where she would only wake twice (on occasion 3 times) at night. Now all of the sudden we're back to waking every 1-2 hours. I'm struggling to figure out if it's still from having company this weekend. Or, if it's the whole separation anxiety thing they go through at this age. She is so so super clingy to me. Fussing even when daddy tries to help. Only wants me to put her back to sleep. But I also can't figure out if it's because she's on the verge of finally crawling. Or a combination of all of the above. Either way, I'm so effing exhausted I could cry.

Every day I remind myself this is just temporary...this is just temporary...

Feels like the longest temporary ever...

I did, around 5. And then he was up for good at 630. We have a cheapie rocker that was a hand me down from my BIL. Its one of the wooden/padded gliders. I wish I had a arm chair that reclined and rocked.

I'm with you.  Someone told me once that everything is a phase and that is the mantra I repeat everytime DS wakes up and I sadistically look at the clock like it has any good news to offer me.

H is the same way. As soon as she feels us putting her down the screaming begins

Will she nap in her crib?

She naps in her swing during the day. I don't know how we will break that.

[lucanjo14]

My DS refuses to nap in his crib. Refuses. Right now the longest he will stay in the is 10 mins. Most days at home he's not napping and he's not sleeping good at night.
Just sleep J'14 babies!

I wish I could give you a hug! Hoping that tour day today is a little better than yesterday and is filled with extra coffee.

[liziz]

We came home from a long weekend at my parents' house yesterday, and I feel like she always needs a transition night.

She woke up at 2 this morning (usually STTN until about 6), H tried to rock her back to sleep, I fed her at 2:30, and she didn't go back to sleep until 3:45, after me, my mom, and H all took turns rocking her! What are you doing baby?!?

We were up a lot last night too. I saw his first top tooth cut through yesterday so I'm hoping these wakeups are because the second top tooth is going to come through soon. So tired.

The pedi confirmed today that she doesn't have any teeth even close to coming through. So much for that theory...

Same. I'm so glad I'm not alone on this one.

I think some of you could use this tonight.

Goodnight

[ladytiffany24]

I can't do it anymore. We're retraining tonight. Wish us luck!

DD has been comfort nursing for 30 minutes and won't stop. 9 months is too old for comfort nursing.

It's getting to the point where it's like fingernails on a chalkboard.....

Ugh. I have a feeling I'm going to be camped out in this thread tonight. And naturally DH is away on business soooooo it's just me.

She was up early today and get afternoon nap was short so she went down at 6:45. Queue 7:20 wake up SCREAMING. Go in there, check to make sure she's not poopy- nope good. Light swaddle, rock, put down annnnnd scream.

Did two 5 min checks but she was sooooo worked up she was doing that hyperventilating cry.

Gas drops, light swaddle, and 15 mins of rocking and no fussing when I put her down.

God help me.

I think babies know when we reach our breaking point. I bet it won't be so bad

[Lola]

He's been up for an hour. He's so tired but is fighting sleep. Currently standing in the crib crying. I even tried putting him in bed with me but that didn't work.

[emilillies]

I think this is wake up 5. Or is it 6? I don't know but it's not quite 1:30. RAGE.

[emilillies]

You sleeping, @iheartmyshiba? I hope Mbug is!
