Desperate for some sleep, 7.5mo NWs and EWs, please help us!!

[Huds Mom]

Me too, my husband is very supportive but I think he may be a bit tired of my analysis of everything and i feel all we ever talk about is my LO's routine (or lack there of!). My friends too think I am a little crazy with how much I have been following baby whisperer but that is just me, I need to feel like I have some control and for the most part it has really worked. Some of my friends LO's have just naturally found a routine and sleep really well. I think they just got lucky!

My DS has been teething since 4.5months (well that is what it feels like) and we have no teeth yet which just scares me as I am sure we are in for quite a ride when they actually come in. Each day I look kind of hoping I will see some sign they are further along.

Good to know your partyfests and EW's have passed as it gives me hope!

Hi everyone, just came across this post and reading and my LO is going through the same thing too.. ughgh.. and to think he was STTN before for about 1 1/2 months. ughhg I don't know what to do anymore .. maybe just ride it through.

My LO is doing the same EASY as Jackmans but he is only 7 months and into the 2nd week!
NWs EVERY hour from BT but he settles himself most times at times I have to go pat him. After DF at about 10:30 there's nothing till about 4:ish then wakes everyhour again (probably at his light sleep stage and can't go back into deep sleep cos I hear him stirring and stirring and finall cry ) I feel so bad for him trying hard to go back to sleep.. But i really don't know what to do to help his day. Although he now gets good naps his night now has turned around!

wish I had some magic cure.

Jackman, I hope I'm so happy your LO is doing better and now you can have more rest too

Husmom - hello! I see you are here too apart form BC your LO is really CUTE! gosh he got beautiful chubby cheeks!!

J  - I'm so sorry you're having probs with Lilly too, that's all you need! What do you think the problem is? Does she still nap during the day to catch up & give you a break?

You are definitely not a failure - you are doing all the right things to help your LO's sleep. I really do think that a lot of the issues at this age are developmental & (I know I've mentioned it before) but I do wonder about the fact that most of the Mum's with issues with LO's around this age have little boys (who are meant to be poorer sleepers than girls?!)

Carrie - I get what you mean about DH getting tired about us over analysing everything...I do the same (especially with sleep), DH is like 'Yeah, but he slept for 30 mins, what's the problem?', Grrrrr!

M & E still have coughs & colds (seems to be one after the other!! So sleep for both of them has been a bit off. Y'day was E's worst nap day for a long time....did 1hr in the AM & then only 40mins in the PM so even with an early BT he was OT BUT he slept nearly 12hrs....what's that about?!!

Set naps are still a bit hit & miss, don't seem to be working as well as they did with DD but still sticking with it for now as I need that predictability during the day!

Hi Chui, great to see you here although sorry you are going through this too.  I dont have any advice as we are still in this situation although last night was really good minus the 5am wake-up call (but technically not an early waking since he went to bed at 6:15pm) so hang in there.  Jackman and Sianie's LO's are a bit older than mine so it is good to see they are having some good days/nights - it gives me hope.
