First of all, you never have to apologize for anything! The help you give and time you invest is very appreciated. Hope you get some rest too!
Yes to all of the things you suggested it might be, teething, walking, talking, dreams. My LO slept through the the night when she was swaddled....then it all changed of course. Are spirited babies poor independent sleepers? She's had a week here and there over the last 6 months but it doesn't seem to stick.
What is ONS? Overnight something?
Here are the last 2 days schedules including wake ups and details:
Starting with Sunday-Monday
NW 1130 fed and right back to sleep
NW 1230 tried to rock, wouldn't settle, finally fed, up for 30 min
EW 515 nursed, took 30 to settle back
Monday
WU 8
Nap 115-235
BT 8, cried for about 10-15 min with me next to crib then fell asleep while holding my finger
NW #1 930, up for about 20 min, tried to settle the same way i did at BT, very distressed, I fed her bc I thought she meant get be hungry, fell back to sleep easily with bottle.
NW #2 12am up for 30-40 min, dad did bottle, didn't settle , crying again, I went in and nursed, back to sleep til 740am
Tuesday
WU 740
Added bottle in am to rule out that f she's still waking for feedings
Nap 1045-1150
CN 225-3
BT 8, crying, seemed more distressed, wouldn't settle by herself, rocked her to sleep
She yawned around 630 but I didn't think she would go to bed that early and tried it the night before and she didn't see tired enough.
NW 9pm, nursed, right back to sleep
So it looks like 2 patterns are emerging: early event WU's from OT? And more wakefulness/ harder to settle at 12am WU. OT too?
Help!
This reply is lots of stuff too but it took effort for me to write it!
Let me know what else would be helpful to know. I got some support from a mommy friend today and am feeling More accepting of where things are and I'm still acting to help her figure it out!
Thanks as usual!
