I have noticed that LO has a cry where I know he's not going to settle himself down and I have to go in, versus the kind of whimpery, calming down cry. The hardest part is waiting to hear which one it is going to be!! Ugh... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mobility-and-sleeping#post-2217188 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 11:48:59 +0000 MenagerieMama 2217188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: Thanks! That's actually super helpful. I like the suffering vs struggle, because I'm okay with struggle and acknowledge that it needs to happen, but suffering I can't stand! I'll have to see if I can tell the difference in her crying because it mostly sounded all suffering to me. The reassurance that all her good sleep habits will come back is hopeful! In the meantime, we'll be in the whirling babies sleep club together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mobility-and-sleeping#post-2217164 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 11:29:24 +0000 psw27 2217164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, but I can totally commiserate. My LO is 10 months, and has recently discovered he can pull himself up in the crib (in his zipadeezip) and then once he is up, he screams and cries hysterically. I feel like he can't settle himself down the way he used to and his body is going a mile a minute doing new t hings. I was doing some middle of the night googling the other night and came across this article, which kind of reassured me that this is just something kids go through: </p> <p><a href="http://www.janetlansbury.com/2011/02/baby-takes-a-stand-against-sleep-advice-from-eileen-henry/" rel="nofollow">http://www.janetlansbury.com/2011/02/baby-takes-a-stand-against-sleep-advice-from-eileen-henry/</a></p> <p>So basically, my plan is to tough it out and try to keep reinforcing good sleep habits and hope that this too shall pass. Good luck mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mobility-and-sleeping#post-2217148 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 11:19:41 +0000 MenagerieMama 2217148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So LO has been a good sleeper ever since the fourth trimester ended and she became a reliable crib sleeper. She's always been great at falling asleep on her own and while she's never STTN, her MOTN wake ups are brief and to the point - eat and back to sleep. When she learned to roll over in the crib it took her a little while to adjust but she loves sleeping on her stomach and it wasn't a big deal. Now she just learned how to sit up on her own (she's been sitting up unsupported for months now, but only just recently learned how to push herself there on her own a week ago, and now in her zipadeezip in her crib) and then pull up in her crib, and also just learned to crawl. She's also busting out a bunch of teeth, just to further complicate things, though in general those haven't seemed to effect much so it's been hard to know what is teeth related and what isn't, since her first 2 appeared out of the blue without any warning.</p> <p>Anyhow - now she is a hot not sleeping mess! She wants to sit, cruise and cry for most of the time in her crib when we put her down for a nap. Routine hasn't changed at all. She used to get smiley when we zipped her into her zipadeezip, now she tries to roll away from it and it's a wrestling match. She sits up, bounces, and cruises. The nap she's taken today took 2 attempts, the first one she cried unless I was holding her (and she's not usually a cranky baby!) and DH could get her to stop crying in the crib but she still wouldn't sleep. We had to abort the nap for 30 min for an errand and then when we came back I got her to settle in her crib without crying and she bounced/cruised and then finally collapsed in a heap. I did give her some ibuprofen earlier which I think helped the crying but DH thinks it's a coincidence. I have no idea how she'll go down for nap 2 with this one being so late.</p> <p>Do I just need to wait this out? Is her little brain just exploding from the world that's opened up with her mobility? I'm just at a loss of what to do when she's bouncing/cruising and crying. All my usual go to's before she could sit up in her crib haven't worked. And while CIO probably would work well I just can't do it, I have nothing against it I just can't handle it! I've camped out during other transitions but that didn't soothe her at all this time.</p> <p>Advice? What did you do during this stage? </p> <p>Also, I need go to teething proof the crib! I think there is a baby beaver in there! </p>
