Hope last night was even better. Things are okay. As soon as she has a couple good nights we have a night like last night with a ton of wakings and me questioning what we could have done differently with naps/bedtime to make it stop. But I think the answer is nothing! Haha. But things sound to be improving for you, at least he's back in the crib. We are just tapering the night feeds like not letting her nurse as long in hopes of her not wanting to wake up to nurse, but it's only been a few days so we will see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-2003071 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 17:39:56 +0000 CakeLady 2003071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: 5 hours of sleep would be amazing!bwendid start sleep training again. Two nights ago he cried 1 minute and fell asleep, he woke twice to eat - after 5 hours (sadly only 3 after I went to sleep) and then after 3.5 hours. Last night he cried for 45 minutes (it was horrible) then slept 5 hours are, woke after 3 hours DH rocked him back to sleep in 5 min, then slept 2 more and ate again... He is sleeping in his crib again, and falling back to sleep easily after he eats, so that is progress I guess. And two(ish) wake ups is better than a million. The plan is to get falling asleep under control then work on reducing night feedings. How are things going for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-2002875 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 15:35:39 +0000 ellewoods84 2002875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: so sorry you are dealing with this too! I told my husband I just want to sleep like 4-5 hrs in a row. Ha, pathetic that I think this is like luxury! So did you try sleep training again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1999697 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 11:36:21 +0000 CakeLady 1999697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in this same sad boat. I'm so sorry for all of us dealing with this. No help here just commiseration.</p> <p>Things seemed to be getting a little better then teething, the flu, an ear infection, and travel sent his sleep spiraling back to just about the worst it's ever been. We've been co sleeping out of desperation, but I mostly worry all night and still get no sleep.</p> <p>We are going to give sleep training another go tonight. We don't really know what else to try either... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1994642 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 15:38:52 +0000 sooz 1994642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could've written this for my second baby. We did CIO with my first son and it worked perfectly. We were able to do it at 4.5 months and he slept through the night with just one early morning feeding (around 3am). I didn't nightwean him until 10 months and even that was fairly easy.</p> <p>My second son was a nightmare. The first time we tried CIO at 4.5 months, he cried for 2 hours and resumed waking up every 3 hours. We tried again at 6 months and again he cried for 2 hours, waking up every 3-4 hours. Finally at around 8 months we actually turned a corner...he started sleeping longer 5-6 hours. </p> <p>I really think it had more to do with his age than anything we did. He finally just outgrew waking up and eating frequently. The other thing we did was I made sure that I only fed him once per night. We were able to reduce the night feedings by having my husband go in and bottle feed him the other times. We slowly reduced the amount in the bottle...He definitely did not appreciate this, but it worked. </p> <p>So, I hear you. It's really, really painful, but is it possible for you to pump and have your husband do a bottle feed? I think once she realizes it's not a boob, she may be less likely to wake up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1994565 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 14:45:03 +0000 gilmoregirl 1994565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: Maybe a few more days with an earlier bedtime will help more? When B is overtired and sleeping like crap, it always takes a while to get better and the improvement is gradual. Like, gradual enough that I can't even really tell without looking back at his sleep patterns. I track everything in an app still because I cannot remember his sleep for the life of me. </p> <p>We can't cosleep either, so it's not just you :wink: . He just will not sleep -- it's an invitation to pull my hair and grab my eyes and ugh. I wish it would work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1994332 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 11:33:01 +0000 LovelyPlum 1994332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: I get it. If I had a super active baby, that would be way harder. Have you considered putting her crib in your room? That way, you could side nurse her when she wakes and put her back in the crib after. Just a thought...</p> <p>(On the other hand, my child was up screaming for 2 hours last night in the MOTN, and nothing soothed her but her favorite Baby Einstein toy, which I pulled out in desperation when.nothing else worked. So take my advice with a bit of salt :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1994320 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 11:20:27 +0000 ellewoods84 1994320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumn865: Ugh you so understand! Its so very awful to be so very tired all.the.time. Your situation does give me hope though! Yeah, I think we really have to sit down and look at her patterns. Last night we put her to bed just 30 minutes earlier than normal, and it still was a pretty crappy night, but it seemed to help at bit. I just hate to put her to bed that early, but I know eventually when she drops this cat nap, that is what we will probably have to do. I would like to try a dream feed.....but I'm scared, haha. I don't know why. She usually wakes up around 1100-12 anyways. Might be worth a shot. Thanks for the advice!<br /> @LovelyPlum: Sorry you are a member of this club, its not a club I ever wanted to be a part of! Sleep deprivation is really something else. I never really knew what it meant to be so tired until having her. The few times she has slept longer stretches, I literally feel like I have slept for 12 hours straight and I feel amazing when in reality it was only like a 4 hour stretch. haha. We tried cosleeping before we did some sleep training and it just wasn't working, which is why we did sleep train. She was still waking just as often and I was sleeping even less because she moves SO MUCH when she's sleeping. I'm glad it is helping you get some sleep though. I hope it improves for us soon, but it feels some what comforting to know we aren't alone. :heart:<br /> @avivoca: It seems like cosleeping helps so many people! I wish it would work for us. She just doesn't get it. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'm hoping she just drops some of the night feeds on her own eventually....wishful thinking?<br /> @fussygal: That sounds like a good plan! Our big problem was that I would go in to feed her, and I am so freaking tired that I often fall asleep so then she falls asleep and I wake up and see that I've been in there for 1 hour and she's still on the boob passed out! So, I have been doing the same as you, stopping her when I know she's done, etc. She doesn't like it, and it hasn't seemed to make a difference yet, but hopefully eventually. I hope it starts helping you guys out too! The earlier bedtime....was okay I guess. She still woke at the same time so I guess thats good, but still woke just as many times pretty much. Going to try 15 minutes earlier tonight, so around 45 minutes earlier than normal and see if that helps. Although I might not be able to, since she refused her first nap! Sigh. Its definitely a process. Please keep me updated on how it things are going for you! We will get through this. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993900 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 23:02:43 +0000 Zbug 1993900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: this too shall pass is often my motto as well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993881 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 22:19:21 +0000 fussygal 1993881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: That's good that she's going back asleep after 3-5 minutes even though she fusses a bit. At least she's able to put herself to sleep - that's half the battle sometimes!</p> <p>We're gradually weaning by feeding a minute less each feeding every few days. I *know* she can go 6 hours without feeding (we've had a handful of glorious 5-6 hour stretches), so I felt comfortable cutting her first feeding drastically and I started feeding her on one only side for that feeding. Every few nights I cut it down by a minute. I started that about 10 days ago and we're still at a 4-5 minute feeding and she often protests after going in the crib and has to be fed again....so not ideal, but there is definitely progress. It's a much slower process than I thought it would be! I should start doing the same for the later feeds, but I'm too chicken to risk her not falling back asleep right away.<br /> I hope tonight went well for you guys. Let us know how the early bedtime went! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993869 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 22:04:17 +0000 avivoca 1993869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to chime in again and say that partial co sleeping saved my sanity. I started nursing side lying and I was able to doze while she nursed. Sometimes We would sleep until her next session, sometimes it would be all night. If you are comfortable trying that, it may be a game changer. </p> <p>H didn't start dropping night feelings until she was 10 months old, and by 13 months, she was sleeping through the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993827 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 21:20:26 +0000 LovelyPlum 1993827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry :( We're in the crappy sleep club, too. We gave in to co-sleeping, but it doesn't solve everything. It does get me a little bit more sleep, but she still fights tooth and nail going to bed. She often naps later in the day. We've tried making that bedtime or keeping her up, but it doesn't seem to help. Up until about 10 days ago, I was up every 3-4 hours consistently from the time she was 8 weeks old to 8 months old. The lack of sleep has been a major trigger for my PPA, and I've felt like I was about to lose it. Through nothing we've done, we've had a few days now where I'll get 4.5-5 hours of sleep in a stretch, and it is literally amazing. So, I'm holding out hope that it will get better for us all. Hang in there, Mama :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993823 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 21:11:28 +0000 autumn865 1993823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were exactly where you are at 5 months with our LO. I had not slept longer than a 3 hour stretch (usually closer to a 2 hour stretch) since she was born and I was losing my mind and literally depressed I was so sleep deprived. Sleep training really didn't work for us either... She would just cry until we went in (I think the longest we ever let her cry was an hour and a half and it was sickening). What pulled us out of our sleep mess is first really looking at her sleep/ wake times and figuring out when to put her down for naps. Make a log for a few days and see if you see any patterns. We too were doing the 5ish cat nap but then bedtime was getting later and later. So I shuffeled around Her naps and that last nap became a 6:15/ 6:30 bedtime. Our parents thought we were crazy and it also meant that DH only got an hour with her in the evening but ultimately finding the perfect early bedtime made night times so much easier for everyone. Also what helped us (we EBF too) was introducing a dream feed. We would put her down by 6:30 and then I would quietly sneak in and feed her while she was essentially sleeping around 10:30/ 11. After some time when things settled she eventually would only have one wake up around 3/4 and be up at 7. I really feel your pain though because when you're so tired like that you go into a certain survival mode where nothing else matters than getting though the day and getting sleep when you can and that's no way to feel! I hope/ know things will get better for you. After all of our sleep struggles now at 2 years old she's a great sleeper and establishing such good sleep routines have really paid off. You will sleep again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993776 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 19:58:22 +0000 ellewoods84 1993776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: Ugh I am so sorry you guys are having to go through this too. We literally have the same baby when it comes to sleep. She will usually give us that same 3-4 hour stretch (occasionally....like, maybe 5 times she has gone 5-6 hours, I was all like, YES!, but sadly it was just a fake out), and then after that up every 1.5-2 hours. We have let her cry in the MOTN of the night, but it never works and it never really helps her learn how to sleep any better.<br /> So, we usually don't feed at every wakeup. I made it a point that we would not nurse more than 2 times a night, but lately we've just been nursing at that first wake up but literally she will cry for 1.5-2 hours off and on, fall asleep for 10 minutes, cry some more, etc. until I nurse her. And I told my husband I really don't think her sleep will improve until we night wean or I stop breastfeeding. How are you slowly weaning? When I do nurse her, I try to take her off when she stops like actively sucking, but that usually pisses her off and when I put her into the crib she will cry for about 3-5 minutes until she falls asleep. Thats a relief to hear that if you put her to bed early that she will sleep until her normal wake up time. Its just too bad that long stretch doesn't happen when you are sleeping too! I really think we are keeping her up too long after that 3rd cat nap before bedtime and we are going to try to put her to bed earlier each night by about 15 minutes and play with the time. Sorry that was a lot of info too, but you are so not alone and it suck, suck, sucks. I hope we get some relief soon. :heart:<br /> @Trailmix: Thanks for your sympathy! Im sorry you had to deal with this too. I too don't think anything will really change until I stop breastfeeding......unfortunately. I just don't think she understands why sometimes I go in and feed her and other times I don't. Oh, we have tried CIO in the MOTN. It sucked and I hated every single second of it, but it worked for going to bed so we thought it might work for MOTN wake ups. Like your LOs, it worked temporarily for maybe a night or 2, but then right back to the same old. I just can't let her cry like that anymore in the MOTN. Its clearly not working, and neither one of us are getting any more sleep. Hope you are having better nights now!<br /> @gilmoregirl: Yeah....I think I just have to do it and see what happens. We put her to bed earlier tonight, and I still think she was a little too tired, but I think its a step in the right direction.<br /> @catomd00: Thanks for the :goodluck: we are going to need it! We are moving bedtime up, and we started tonight! So....hopefully it will help even a little bit.<br /> @Zbug: Hi. I don't think she's teething! Well, she's always seems to be teething, but she has her 2 bottom teeth and I keep feeling the top and I don't feel or see anything! But, that is a good tip for when she is teething, I will try that next time! I just have to keep chanting that to myself.....this too shall pass....ha ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993690 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 17:07:45 +0000 Zbug 1993690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, mama.<br /> Cosleeping saved me, but I know it isn't for everyone.<br /> Is your LO teething? Lying down can create pressure and make the teeth more painful. Nursing helps relieve the pain as well as provides comfort. You could try elevating one end of the mattress a bit to relieve pressure.<br /> No real advice but know that this is a phase, and it will get better (whether you try to actively do something abt it or not). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993626 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 15:35:05 +0000 catomd00 1993626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try putting her down earlier. I also have read that you need to give something at least 2-4 weeks to see change. So, Maybe pick a technique and try to stick with it a bit longer. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993618 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 15:20:22 +0000 gilmoregirl 1993618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing that I can contribute is that I am always always terrified to put him to bed super early because I am certain it is going to lead to an extra early wakeup, and it has literally never happened. Keeping him up late is actually the thing that guarantees he'll be up early for the day. And then he's extra overtired and the issues kinda just snowball from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993566 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 13:58:12 +0000 Trailmix 1993566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry, my twins were not good sleepers and I went through a full year of hell with sleep deprivation so I know how it feels...<br /> I don't really have a ton of advice bc we tried everything and nothing really worked until I stopped BFing. As far as CIO goes, if you're really desperate and can be strong, it might take a week or more but it would probably get through eventually...I have had nights where I let my<br /> Son cry for 2+ hours bc I just could not deal with the MOTN wakings anymore. He always slept better for a few nights after those, although would often regress... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993560 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 13:52:23 +0000 fussygal 1993560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: I also could have written this post word for word! It seems like our LOs have had a lot of the same sleep problems :(<br /> My DD usually has a 3-4 hour stretch then it's 1.5-3 hour wake-ups all. Night. Long. We didn't get a chance to give CIO a good try before she started sitting up and crawling in the crib. I just can't let her cry when she can't figure out how to get back into a sleeping position, it doesn't seem fair. I hope she evenyually stops this habit?!</p> <p>Do you feed her on every wake-up? That's what I do 90% of the time and I think has contributed to a bad habit of waking to comfort nurse so we're attempting to slowly wean each feed. But like @twodoghouse: said, it's just SO much easier to give boob for a few mins then let them cry so this is proving difficult. </p> <p>We also recently started putting her to bed really early, like 5:30 sometimes, so that she can catch up on some sleep. It seems to help a bit and she'll usually sleep until her first normal wake-up time. </p> <p>As for naps, we still do 2-3 a day depending on when the second one ends. If we do a third I try or have her up for at least an hour before bed time. </p> <p>Sorry if that's a bunch of random information but I thought I'd throw out everything were trying/dealing with hoping some of it will resonate with you! Hugs!!!! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993535 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 13:30:49 +0000 Mae 1993535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: Yea cosleeping did not work for us, that was basically the breaking point for us doing sleep training. Before we did sleep training when she woke MOTN she often just wanted her paci, but if that didn't calm her I just picked her up and rocked her to sleep and put her back down. With varying levels of success. The good times it would take 20 min to rock her down, rock her a few min and set her down. Bad times I'd have to rock her for 30-60 min before she was asleep enough to set her down. Post sleep training we've just been lucky. Except for one bad night (where I coslept after several hours of attempted CIO) when she wakes MOTN she just wants her paci until about 430 am. Our rule is after 4am all bets are off. At that point if she cries after I give her the paci back I generally just rock her until our preferred wakeup time for her (630) bc she no longer lets me set her down after rocking to sleep. It helps that my husband and I have a deal where I do MOTN and he does mornings. Anything after 6am is on him. So even if I'm up with her from 430-630 I get to go back to bed until he has to get ready for work at 8, so I get a good nap before having to face the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993531 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 13:24:42 +0000 ellewoods84 1993531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Yeah, CIO is not working for us. It does occasionally. I never go to her before 15 minutes. Sometimes she goes back, and I can tell she will, if her cries are just sleep baby cries. But, usually she doesn't. What do you guys do since I know you don't feed MOTN? O has never taken a pacifier either, so that can't help us. I did give her a little lovey to snuggle, but I don't think she gets it yet. We did try cosleeping prior to sleep training, and its not any better. And now that she can crawl and rolls around like a wild woman in the crib, I don't know how that would even work. I feel like cosleeping would be a step back for us. Lol, I tell her that all the time about being cute. Thanks for your support, it means a lot! It just sucks.<br /> @twodoghouse: Ugh....so sorry you guys are dealing with this too. And with twins, I can imagine you are doubly tired. Its the worst. And 5 am is way too early. Sometimes O does that and it makes for the longest day ever. Thanks for the tips! We are trying to stretch her awake time lately and it is hit or miss. She's usually up 2.5-3 hours and after a crap 30 minute nap, she's usually pretty tired by then. We are also nap training for her to nap in the crib and she's actually napping BETTER than before training, so you would think it would help her night sleep, but nope. But, interesting about the shorter time between the cat nap and bedtime....that is the one thing we haven't tried. My husband keeps pushing me to try it but I am scared, but at this point, can it get worse? haha. What time do you usually do the cat nap? And what time are you guys usually putting them to bed?<br /> @Mamasig: I would cosleep if I think it would work, but we tried it before, and I wasn't entirely comfortable with it and she is wild at night, so it makes me nervous. I wish it worked for us. And it definitely helps knowing that I'm not the only one! Thanks for the sympathy :happy:<br /> @Bluebonnet: I will look into the sleep lady book. Maybe I am missing the window (probably). I am also afraid of such an early bedtime, but maybe its just what she needs. We did hire a sleep consultant, and I hope it works! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993481 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 12:05:51 +0000 Bluebonnet 1993481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The sleep lady book really helped us identify LOs "sleep window". When we put her down as soon as she'd show signs of being tired, she took longer naps, and she wasn't overtired, so she napped longer and our routine fell into place. She also had an early bedtime - 6:30, which wasn't ideal, but it was what she needed to be well rested. </p> <p>It sounds like you have tried so many things, it might be time to hire a sleep coach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993477 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 11:59:29 +0000 Mamasig 1993477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Frequent night wakings are what made us start cosleeping. I know it's not for everyone but it was the only way DS would STTN. I needed rest for work and I don't have patience or strength for CIO. I know that's probably not much help, but it may make you feel better knowing someone else has been there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993464 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 11:45:04 +0000 twodoghouse 1993464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could have written this post! I think we are in the exact same spot and it sucks! I'm so tired if being tired. Plus my kids now wake up regularly at 5 am which makes it even harder to get them all the way to 7 for bedtime. </p> <p>I've had some luck doing two things 1. Stretching awake time to the absolute brink so that we can stretch the naps later in to the day. This is risky because their nap will suck if they get over tired. But I also try not to put them down at the first sign of cranky/tiredness. Instead I take them upstairs for a change of scenery and we do something fun like fly around the room and dance to Christmas music. This will usually get us an extra 20-30 minutes before they get down to sleep.<br /> 2. We do the catnap before bed too, but we actually do it much closer to bedtime. They will sleep for30 minutes, then 30 min later we start bedtime routine. Maybe that wouldn't work for everyone, but this is the only way they won't get wayyy overtired before bed. </p> <p>I have no idea about the frequent night wakings, though. We're in the same spot and I'm such a zombie in the MOTN that I don't even know if something I'm doing is ruining it. It's just so much easier to run in and nurse back to sleep in 7 minutes than to listen to them cry. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993387 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 10:01:27 +0000 Orchid 1993387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: I hope you do too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993385 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 09:59:25 +0000 Mae 1993385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, just... sorry :( That sounds awful. We've done a lot of stretches like that but we have reprieve between, which helps. And FWIW CIO never worked for us overnight either. When Fia wakes MOTN I let her cry 5 min and do a check and if she cries after that there is basically 0 chance that she's going back to sleep on her own. I've tried CIO in the MOTN a few times but it never worked. </p> <p>When things were at their worst for us I coslept with her just to get some sleep. But it sort of sucked. and made me nervous. And extra sucked because she wouldn't cosleep with both DH and me (it was just "omg dad is here with his beard? I should totally pull on it now" time), so I had to cosleep with her in the guest room. </p> <p>But anyways. I hope you find a solution or hire a sleep consultant that can. &lt;3 (Also it's a good thing o baby is cute bc good lord that girl puts you through the ringer! lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993366 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 09:37:06 +0000 ellewoods84 1993366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leah: don't think so! She did have reflux when she was younger, but has outgrown it and hasn't been on her medication in quite some time. She also doesn't display any reflux symptoms like she did prior. i did wonder if that was what was bothering her, but she stops crying when I come in the room. But I obviously can't spend all night in her room.<br /> Hope you guys get some relief soon too....it's awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993362 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 09:31:41 +0000 ellewoods84 1993362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: well sometimes we do extend her simply because bedtime would be like 4, with the way she naps and she wakes up early. Boo.<br /> @QBbride: yeah I'm just scared to put her to bed that early! Lol. She already wakes at 6.....and seems to wake earlier the earlier we put her to bed. Gosh, sorry you are going through it too!! Sleep deprivation is no joke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993358 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 09:25:46 +0000 Orchid 1993358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could there be any issues causing your LOto wake up so often? Reflux, gas, any kind of discomfort. I'm dealing with the same problem. My LO is 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exhausted-with-night-wakingshelp#post-1993342 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 08:52:44 +0000 QBbride 1993342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember I read anything after 5:30pm can be considered "bedtime". And you never know, often the earlier they go to sleep, the better they sleep!</p> <p>I feel your pain. My son is 18m and still wakes up frequently. I'm beyond exhausted. Sigh. </p>
