Somewhere in this madness, it is comforting to know that other moms are going through similar things. This is my first post on the site. I have been struggling with my sleepless lo for almost 10 months. I can count on one hand the number of times she has slept more than 6 hrs.
She is a great baby! Little crying during the day. Great with routine. Sleeps well during nap time. Putting this baby down to sleep is not the problem it is keeping her asleep.
I have tried to justify in my mind over and over all the different excuses we have and reasons she is not sleeping....teething....crawling.....colds.....etc...but it is always the same results: Bed at 8pm.......wake at 1 to usually 4....
We have tried feeding....we have tried PU/PD we have tried crying...motrin...Benadryl....
Is it possible that there are some babies that just do not sleep?
??My mother in law says it is the red hair...lol
I am going back to work in 5 weeks.....I am trying to enjoy these last weeks, but the real truth is that have never been so tired in my life, and it is about to get worse....
We want to go on vacation before I go back to work but can't because then no one will get any sleep.....
My 5 year old was the best sleeper from 6 weeks, maybe I am just paying the price....
Another diaper to change!
