C would wake up at like 3-4am and then want to be up for hours. I'd throw her in the swing and turn it on and go back to sleep on the couch. She'd just hang out and babble quietly to herself. By the time I woke up, she was always sleeping peacefully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-give-up#post-461306 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 02:38:32 +0000 jackieomy 461306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The exact reason I'm on hellobee at the moment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-give-up#post-461299 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 01:42:52 +0000 sarac 461299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Yeah, I've found that to be a very helpful mode of thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-give-up#post-461288 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 01:11:24 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 461288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: &amp; @scg00387: I know! It's like "you know you're tired. I know you're tired. Why must we fight this?" But they looooove to fight it. Ahh..<br /> @sarac: it is kind of fun once I come to terms with the fact that LO currently controls my life &amp; I better just roll with it for a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-give-up#post-460093 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 11:20:22 +0000 twinmama 460093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when ours are wide awake at night, we just bring them out to the living room. we doze on the couch and put baby in their bouncer. no toys, lights off. usually they are content to just look around and mess with their hands, and will fuss when they're ready to go back to sleep (typically 60-90 min), </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-give-up#post-460078 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 11:14:08 +0000 sarac 460078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Once recently, my baby went to bed early and then just woke up at midnight. Like, wide awake. So we turned on a movie and all just hung out. She happily went back to sleep at 3 and slept late. Honestly it was kind of fun for a one time thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-give-up#post-459749 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:15:35 +0000 Tidybee 459749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Irishmom: LO does the same exact thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-give-up#post-459714 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 07:01:21 +0000 Irishmom 459714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have had the same thing recently. I know she's tired....she's yawning and rubbing her eyes, but every time I put her down she just stares at me with big eyes and a huge smile as if to say, "I know you aren't going to leave me here!" Thankfully, last night was much better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-give-up#post-459682 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 03:21:31 +0000 immabeetoo 459682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm I feel you!! Going my third Attempt sticks right now!! It's the worst when he is yawning while wide awake- I know he is tired!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-give-up#post-459664 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 02:25:24 +0000 Bao 459664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh we've had quite the battle with sleep lately :/ I hope it gets better for us both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-give-up#post-459658 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 01:47:23 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 459658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1:I knoooow, man, I used to stress too. Now- I figure, I'll just rearrange my life around him for now since nothing works with him. Doing a load of laundry right now.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-give-up#post-459654 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 01:27:19 +0000 travelgirl1 459654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! A is exactly the same this week and if she will sleep it's only on me. DH is in a tizzy trying to work out what we could have done that's changed her sleep so much in the last few days but to me that's what babies do, right? Anyway, late night movie watching too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-give-up#post-459640 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 01:06:29 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 459640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mean...every baby has GOT to go to sleep at some point, right?<br /> LO is fed,changed,swaddled &amp; swinging in his swing with the lights dimmed. Yet, he stares at me with wide eyes and a huge grin on his face So, I have up! I'm up now...with a snack and in watching movies on my laptop with my headphones in. Why try to force something happen that clearly is not going to happen anytime soon?<br /> Watch: the minute my movie gets good, he'll finally drift off:/ </p>
