Just today Alex was digging in my desk and happened to bring me the logs I kept while he was sleeping so terribly. I was telling him, in story-book fashion, "On December 8 you were up at 8:45, 11:20, 1:45, 2:30, 3:50, 4:30 and 6:00 and 7:30"
Thanks for saying that! Last night was every 45 minutes. So glad for reminders that it won't be like this forever. William is threatening crying it out.
this too shall pass right? =) I'm sorry I don't have any insight, except maybe the next baby will be a good sleeper!
you did mention earlier that he could be teething; maybe give him some infant ibproferen before bed. it's better than tylenol b/c it lasts longer. i don't know how you feel about giving owen "drugs" but it's just a thought
You're welcome. Rob was right where William is it sounds like. We felt like EVERYONE around us was either doing CIO or telling us if we didn't he would never STTN. Rob and I had many spirited discussions about Alex's night time sleep.
Just do what you need to do as his mommy. You are the mommy that God gave him and you know what he and your family need. Love ya!
I am a 30 something stay at home mommy who lives in a great city in the middle of lots of cornfields.
I have 3 amazing kiddos, Owen (4), Ellison (2), and Miles (brand new). I love Jesus, my amazing hubby William, and our dumb orange tabby cat. I couldn't live without Diet Coke, snail mail, sushi, the color pink, my hot glue gun.
