It was a rough week but we just stayed consistent. We'd get her back to sleep and then put her back into the crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-8#post-1217366 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 20:35:28 +0000 AprilK 1217366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: @evansjamie: Clara is doing this same thing with the eyes popping open. So frustrating. She is supposedly in the first wonder week growth spurt too, so hopefully it's over soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-8#post-1217360 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 20:30:00 +0000 singingbee 1217360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And the vent fan in kitchen is working tonight. We are standing in front of it and she went down in 5 minutes. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-8#post-1216959 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:32:09 +0000 singingbee 1216959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evansjamie: that's what I'm thinking too. She has two or three more days of it. I think it started right when we got home to our other house. I've got three more nights of by myself duty so I'm hoping her nights are a bit better. Now, I say that as she is cuddled up next to me. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-8#post-1216950 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:28:00 +0000 avivoca 1216950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: Could it be the wonder week/growth spurt? I could get Hyla down mostly, but she's been doing the same thing MM has been, sleeping but popping her eyes open the second I set her down and wanting to nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-8#post-1216920 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:15:02 +0000 singingbee 1216920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: okay. I guess I was hoping it would work itself out sooner than later since I do day and night, especially when DH is working out of town. Glad to know I didn't mess her up! :) funny thing is, she loves motion, but cries in her swing sometimes. I don't know if it's because it is laying flat and she wants to sit up. She just doesn't have the head control yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-8#post-1216909 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:11:06 +0000 swedishfish 1216909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: I think she will learn how to fall asleep eventually. R needed the swing at first for a while but grew out of that. You didn't ruin her sleep. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-8#post-1216901 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:07:11 +0000 singingbee 1216901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: yes....she liked the rain at first, then we did vacuum. Last night, she slept with rain/thunder/fan mix. We just did rain at the other house and it seemed to work just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-8#post-1216841 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:46:57 +0000 shinymama 1216841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you held her too much. My LO went through his crazy, awful sleep period at 6-7 weeks. We tried everything {not too succesfully} until he just outgrew it. Sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-8#post-1216836 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:45:43 +0000 swedishfish 1216836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have white noise on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-8#post-1216707 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:11:30 +0000 singingbee 1216707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So. LO is almost 6 weeks old. My mom visited this week, so LO was taking her naps while being held. I tried to get my mom to put her down, but you know how grandparents are. ;)</p> <p>She was sleeping pretty well before this week. When we were at our other house, she would nap on the couch and fall asleep in her pack and play. It's been since we've come back that she has had some problems. At our other house she slept in the upper option of the pack and play with a little towel nest under the crib sheet. At this house, she sleeps in the newborn napped bassinet option. </p> <p>At night, LO falls asleep, but will sometimes wake up about 2 minutes after we put her down. I'll pat her and shush her or sing to her,but those eyes pop back open and she is up, wanting to nurse again. </p> <p>My question is, have we ruined her sleep by holding her? What can I do to help her fall back asleep when she wakes up quickly? Should I switch her to the upper pack and play option? Any other tips? She has a good night time routine of lotion or bath, book, nurse, and sleep. It's the staying asleep we struggle with. </p>
