Totally been there when we had 4 month sleep regression and then teething together. Is there anyway someone can come by for a few hours just to let you sleep for a little bit during the day? Or maybe when your DH comes home he takes care of the LO so you can sleep earlier?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1039046 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 08:55:36 +0000 sslm 1039046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: you're right. That's what my husband keeps saying: lower your expectations! I'm trying to be more zen about it but I am tightly wound by nature, so it's a struggle!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1038476 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 23:35:44 +0000 shopaholic 1038476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww... so sorry hun! It will get better! </p> <p>If it makes you feel any better, I call 45 min. naps a MAJOR win with K! She is the queen of catnaps! 20 min. is average (and I often time 7-8 min. naps). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1038467 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 23:27:02 +0000 Kemma 1038467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly my best advice to you would be to just let it go. My wee girl is ten months and is yet to come out of the six month regression and my life got so much easier when I just stopped expecting her to sleep through the night. I try really, really hard to be zen about A's sleep because otherwise I just get upset with myself and them I feel crappy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1037637 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:46:30 +0000 sslm 1037637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: yeah I really do feel bad complaining because I know it could be so much worse! I hope it gets better for you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1037633 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:45:24 +0000 sslm 1037633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Gross!!!!</p> <p>@AprilFool: I hope it ends for all of us soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1037166 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 16:42:37 +0000 aprk 1037166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A has always slept like that. It's probably worse to have better sleep and then slide back to shorter segments. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1037153 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 16:36:28 +0000 AprilFool 1037153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Yep it really sucks! BUT... she will come out the other side again. I have never been so tired during the regression but LO slept from 8 - 5 this morning and I got 7 hours sleep. First time ever and probably wont happen again tonight! Naps are currently still crap though :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1037137 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 16:27:03 +0000 Smurfette 1037137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: R woke up at 530, cat nap on the way to day care 15-20 mins and then didn't nap till 315!!! Pretty much all day and then napped for 50 mins. That is all. Seriously?!?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1037066 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 15:49:28 +0000 sslm 1037066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah... About those 45 min naps. How about a 20 min one instead? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036591 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:24:47 +0000 hilsy85 1036591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. It sucks. hugs! Hopefully yours gets better faster than ours did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036548 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:13:28 +0000 Bookish 1036548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: hugs :( LO hasn't napped all day and I think I'm losing my mind. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036485 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:58:48 +0000 heartonastring 1036485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oy. I am so scared this is going to happen to us soon. We went through some sort of regression at 13/14 weeks and it nearly sent me over the edge. </p> <p>I hope it gets better really soon. Remember it isn't permanent...I tend to forget that during the tough times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036478 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:57:48 +0000 yellowbird 1036478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: my lo was the same as yours! 20-30 minute naps until recently!! It was awful!! </p> <p>@sslm: this time will pass. try to survive!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036432 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:43:26 +0000 Smurfette 1036432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: R has pretty much only taken 30-45 min naps. I know how hard it is.<br /> I had a good cry last night cause I am so exhausted. So you aren't alone for sure.<br /> Is she going back to sleep easily after she wakes up and you nurse her? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036429 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:42:30 +0000 cheert16 1036429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am right there with you!! LO is barely napping during the day and he is waking up at 3 am ready to start the day.... AHHH! I slept for 4 hours in the last 48! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036425 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:42:09 +0000 MrsHotDog 1036425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My heart breaks for you and I have uttered those words quite a few times these past few months. Days are so rough when nighttime sleep goes down the crapper. </p> <p>I am so scared of the sleep regressions! My son will be 4 months tomorrow and I feel like it is dooms day. We were lucky and skipped all sleep regressions with my daughter but I don't think you can get lucky twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036420 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:40:56 +0000 regberadaisy 1036420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: you can do this!!!!!</p> <p>IF it makes you feel any better my daughter always had crappy sleep. Only 20 minute naps. Wake up 3-4x a night. Then we hit the regression and she was waking up every single hour for almost 3 months straight.</p> <p>You got this. Piece of cake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036419 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:40:27 +0000 sslm 1036419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @Lindsay05: thanks ladies! I'm trying :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036417 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:39:28 +0000 sslm 1036417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: ugh!! I was naively hoping this would totally pass me by... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036412 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:38:47 +0000 Lindsay05 1036412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hang in there :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036410 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:38:05 +0000 sslm 1036410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: the nap thing about 2 weeks or so. The night time thing only a few days. I fear it will totally break me if it goes on for weeks!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036405 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:37:27 +0000 Smurfette 1036405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs! I was right there with you. I was lucky to get a 3 hour stretch at the beginning of the night, only I wasn't sleeping that whole time. Then she was up every 20-90 mins the rest of the night. I have no idea how I managed to drive and work. It is awful. There were many nights I sat in the glider nursing her and would just cry the whole time. </p> <p>We finally sleep trained and get got better. Only now we are back to 3 hour stretches due to ear infection and teething. Fun times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036404 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:36:01 +0000 blackbird 1036404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know. I'm still trying to work out of it :( </p> <p>Let's cry together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036402 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:35:47 +0000 edelweiss 1036402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it is so discouraging when sleep habits backslide, even if it's temporary. no fun for everyone to be getting less sleep, and sleep deprivation makes everything seem worse. i hear you! how long has it been going on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-pretty-much-hate-life-right-now#post-1036394 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:33:04 +0000 sslm 1036394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok that's overdramatic. But wtf 4 month sleep regression??? At least, I think that's what this is. I want to cry.</p> <p>She's been sleeping 8+ hours straight but now it's more like 4. And her naps are 45 minutes. It's awful guys. I know it's overdramatic and I'm still fairly lucky to get 4 hour stretches, but I feel like I can't handle this. I am in tears every day. </p>
