A few weeks ago Oliver went through a stage of not sleeping, it was coupled with pretty horrendous separation anxiety and it was rough. I was so tired, I am really one of those people that needs 6+ hours of sleep a night or I am pretty much non functioning.
We "reset" him with ferber and he was back to sleeping in 2-3 hours blocks again (yeah only 2-3 no STTN in this house) but it was better.
Well now we're on night to of 5+ hours of crying at night. I just don't know what to do with him. I'm so tired, I slept holding him in the rocking chair most of the night so my neck is tight, my arms hurt, and I think I have an ear infection. So yeah.....
Anyone else want to chime in with a story of their crappy sleeper? I really feel like all I see on FB and Social media is people excited their babies sleep through the night and its like "Okay good for you....let me just down my 5th cup of coffee"
Also today The Inauguration. I am so proud of the Obama family, I just love them and think they are such a solid family. I'm a little emotional that President Obama is being sworn in on MLK day. Thats simply, amazing.
I'm sorry! I hope that you get some more sleep soon! I would have loved to be able to be in DC this weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy son (who is 2) recently went through a period of not wanting to go to sleep. Once he went to sleep he was fine, but sometimes it would take HOURS to get him down. I wish I had some advice for you, but in my experience it just takes time...sigh!
ReplyDeleteThe inauguration was beautiful! I taped it all and watched parts of it with my children!
Oh no! I'm sorry you're not getting good sleep. I really don't have any advice at all. :-(
ReplyDeleteSuch a bummer that you're experiencing sleepless nights! I'm sorry :(
ReplyDeleteI also was quite excited that Obama was sworn in on today of all days. Pretty powerful :)
Thanks ladies! Hopefully tonight is better.
ReplyDeleteOne of my good friends from college was actually at the inauguration today. So amazing! Can't wait to see her pictures
"6+ hours of sleep a night or I am pretty much non functioning." I think that's everyone! 6 and I am ok... don't need more but less makes me not very fun to be around!
