Mine does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960930 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:48:08 +0000 mrsbookworm 960930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does this every time he naps but not at night. I have no idea why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960853 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:21:12 +0000 chopsuey 960853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does sometimes. Usually he falls back asleep after a few seconds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960827 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 19:13:34 +0000 heartonastring 960827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like the whole "object permanence" issue that starts coming into play around four months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960773 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 18:52:38 +0000 Smurfette 960773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: During leave I had to hold R for every nap, and at least once a day she did that and nothing would change. Weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960697 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 18:18:12 +0000 Boheme 960697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! C freaks out if anything is different when he wakes up. He's especially angry if it has to do with me or my boobs not being readily available when he wakes up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960686 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 18:14:21 +0000 hilsy85 960686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: @Running Elley: agree! Makes complete sense, IMO. It's a huge part of Ferber's book--he's a big proponent of keeping the sleep situation the same, which makes a lot of sense, regardless of whether you agree with him on anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960636 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 17:47:00 +0000 dojo 960636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: I think I read that somewhere too! It makes a lot of sense - I would probably cry if I woke up on my lawn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960629 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 17:46:04 +0000 wonderstruck 960629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO always does that, but in his case it's because he always wakes up wanting a bottle, and when he is hungry he basically screams at the top of his lungs until there's a bottle in his mouth. Yeah, it's pretty awesome...</p> <p>Seems to make sense that Vi is doing that though - it can be disorientating to wake up and have things be different than they were when you fell asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960623 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 17:43:35 +0000 Running Elley 960623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it totally makes sense! When we used to get E to a deep sleep and then put him down he'd always wake up crying. Someone explained it to me like this....if you went to sleep in your bed and then you woke up laying on your front lawn you'd freak out too. And I totally would! Once we were able to put him down drowsy and awake so that he'd fall asleep on his own this stopped. Now he wakes up babbling and happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960620 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 17:42:42 +0000 dojo 960620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't noticed that so far I imagine it's pretty normal though. That's funny that she will be ok if you just restore the situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960617 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 17:41:26 +0000 Arden 960617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: She does it in my arms! If I closed my nursing tank or switched her to another position (sometimes as much as half an hour before). Or, in bed, if I rolled over. </p> <p>It's like the change confuses/scares her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960612 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 17:39:27 +0000 Smurfette 960612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She use to do it all the time. She just cries cause she wants us to come get her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960593 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 17:33:24 +0000 Silva 960593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When T does it it usually means she is still tired, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-wake-up-crying#post-960567 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 17:27:24 +0000 Arden 960567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vi has been doing this a lot lately.<br /> If she wakes up and the situation has changed (like if I was next to her when she fell asleep and now I'm gone, or if my boob was in her mouth and now my bra is closed) she'll start to wail. </p> <p>If a different person is holding her (like if she fell asleep with my mom and now my sister has her) she FREAKS!</p> <p>If I immediately restore everything to the way it was before, she's fine. </p> <p>So odd. Anyone else's baby do this? </p>
