Hellobee Boards

This week from babycenter: Your baby is probably napping regularly in the daytime by now. Hopefully, this leaves you feeling a little more energetic.

A woke up at 11pm, 2am and 6am...i hate it when he wakes up 5/6am because it's impossible to get him back to sleep! Don't even get me started on naps right now...

I feel your pain!

My 6 month old will only nap in my arms.. But her night sleep has improved so I feel like we've made a little deal. I'll hold her in the day if she'll let me put her down at night! (Of course she doesn't know we've made this deal...)

I'll just echo @coopsmama: I'm so tired of being tired!

@Pumpkin Pie: Nope, did it at a little under 16 weeks. It worked great (somewhat), and he was only waking up once. But all of a sudden, he has been waking up multiple times. We tried doing CIO for those wakeups (when he wakes up an hour after putting him down from a feeding) but he ends up waking up DD. I have held off nap training for now...

Not against cio. Although before I had a baby who refused to sleep I didn't understand why anyone would need to sleep train. I had one night where nothing would work and I let her 'cio' for a little over an hour. Luckily her sleep became bareable after that. Because her crying is too hard on me.

My toddler gave up his nap

My almost 4m old baby is doing pretty well at night but naps. Terrible.

Our night sleep is not too terrible. LO has her moments where she wakes in the middle of the night, and I need to rock her back to sleep, but its only happened a hand full of times. We did go through a 4 month regression.

Sleep training saved us, and I'm scared that we'll have to do it again once teething starts, or we go through any other change.

@snowjewelz: I do a lot of baby wearing. Dishes cooking things like that are easy while wearing her. For stuff I can't do with her I wait until my husband is home to take her. I definitely wish she'd nap in her crib, but I also love snuggling so I'm not bothered enough to try to change it. It's going to be hard on us all when I go back to work at 13 months...

Me! Me! Me!

Let's see. She's 7m and has been waking up every 2-3 hours since 3 weeks or so. In case you're too sleepy to count, that's 5-6 wakeups. I had a blissful month and a night here and there where she gave me 6 hour stretches. But it was her first stretch so I didn't really benefit from it. It got really bad when I started crib Training at 5m. Bedtime lately is taking over an hour and I'm currently sleep training to work on that. A few nights a week she thinks 3am is pajama party time and is up for over an hour.
Last few nights she has given me a first 4 hr stretch but I don't benefit from that.

I'm surviving on decaf and only having to work in the office one day a week. And DH has been taking the girls in the morning so I can sleep in. Oh, she freaks the F out if DH tries to take MOtN wakeups. Boobs only in the MOTN.

Naps. She refuses to nap in the crib. I might get one day a month where she naps in the crib. With a toddler who loves to play nap delay games that's just tons of fun!

@regberadaisy: why is the first stretch always the longest?? I get more adult awake time I suppose but when her bedtime is 6:30-7 that doesn't help me much with my sleep! And then it's every 3 hours after that. Oye. I feel your pain mama.

We still nurse to sleep at bedtime, I'm actually ok with it for now I think once we switch to crib we will switch that up too......

Naps.....are touch and go, I honestly get anxiety about them because she won't go down on her own and I'm trying to always lay her on her left side or facing her left and she hates it....even with the PT I think it is just her preferred way to sleep facing the right...

@snowjewelz: in my county and many around me there are no more naps even in Kindergarten
