Hi Casey,
Sounds like we are still having similar problems with our LO's. I think its probably since they are around the same age, 10.5 weeks. Mattea is a few days away from her shots so I can only imagine what is coming up. I think she has been going through her growth spurt these last two (or three) days since she started to wake more at night, it was up to three times. So, I did what Tracy suggested in the sleep interview and increased her calories during the day. I don't think I gave her enough since she woke the second night three times again. The next day, I tried to increase them again and she slept through the third night from 11-5 ish!! She hasn't done that in many weeks. I have my fingers crossed for tonight.
I wanted to add that I have been working really hard on extending her naps and for the last three days, I have been able to get her to sleep about 4-5 times per day with one or two naps between 1.5 and 2 hours. She is sleeping now and its been over 2 hours. I also have been doing what you told me about spending time in the bassinet and I think its working. She has put herself back to sleep several times. I have also not been going in as quickly as I used to to give her a chance to resettle herself.
One last note, besides everything else, her bedtimes have been really difficult. It took us two hours one night and three last night., She falls asleep but she keeps waking up. I am confused since she is getting more sleep during the day, I thought that would make night easier too. Anyway, last night she cried differently. It was the shrieking, painful cry. I think she was experiencing some discomfort in her belly. She kept her body flexed and tight and had a lot of poops. She was also acting like she was hungry a lot. Tracy mentioned some of this may be reflux so I am going to look into that.
Would be nice to have an easy answer like reflux to solve our sleeping trouble, wouldn't it?
Good Luck.
Lori
