I'm at my wits end. I really can't figure this out and she's so fussy and I can't read her cues. I keep feeding her and napping her and we are just going around in circles. She crying and fussing so much it's impossible to know what's, what anymore. Plus I haven't slept more than an hour straight in forever so it's all blurring together.
I only have the past 2 days charted. I was chatting all of them but lost that paper!! Here's the past 2 days and part of today. I know it's UT/OT loop but I can't get unstuck. Oh and yes teeth!!! Awful. But I'm medicating at night and giving her teething tablets before naps.
Up 7:15
Nap 9:55-11:17
Nap 2:05-2:26 (resettled her) 5:00
BT 7:30
NW 2:45, 3:00 (fed) 6:00, 6:45
(This day and night wasn't bad. I let her sleep as long as she needed that second nap to catch up on sleep)
Up 6:30
Nap 9:05-10:30
Nap 1:20-2:53
CN 5:00-5:30
BT 7:40
NW 9:47, 1:40, 4:00 (fed), 5:40, 6:00
Today
Up 6:00 (she laid in bed happy until 6:45)
Nap 9:09-9:58 (first happy wake up in a long time)
So obviously UT for today's first nap. She's been waking crying hard for all other naps and night wakings. Paci soothes her back to sleep. She used to fall back to sleep on her own but always needs the paci now bc she wakes up crying and so upset.
She's just laying in her crib now and looks like she's trying to go back to sleep so I'm going to leave her and cross my fingers. Just confused now because we had an EW and short nap so not sure how many naps to do and when. Seemed like those multiple days of 2 naps built up some serious OT and now she's caught up and UT and looking like we will just cycle back and forth for awhile.
The days I can't handle being messy. She's just SO grumpy and fussy. The nights are killing me. Worse than when she was a newborn.
Just to add- I know she can self soothe. All the NWs I'm paci plugging her bc she's so upset and I need her to go back to sleep quickly. Assuming that's OT behavior. Just now she's putting herself back to sleep from her UT nap without the paci being replugged so I know she can still do it. Just not at nights right now.
Oh and solids- I'm following the ped bc I don't know what else to do. Doing peas only for mid morning snack after nursing and only a little bit for a week. Then I'll add another food and try for 2 times a day. She loves, loves solids and finger foods but her tummy is just sensitive so I'm trying to go slow
