I'd just make sure to keep it dark and keep the play really low-key. Keep your phone and any screens off. I'm sure its just a phase (the 4 month sleep regression was a MFer here, but involved multiple wake ups rather than one long one), but if you are playing with her in a bright room and playing active games, it might become more of a habit? Dunno. Good luck &amp; I hope its over soon for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-part-time#post-2063194 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 18:04:25 +0000 autumnleaves 2063194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 5.5 months too and he suddenly started become more active in the middle of the night a week or 2 ago - it's like he wants to escape out of the crib - he's moving all around in there and sometimes talking up a storm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-part-time#post-2062984 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 16:19:01 +0000 Peasinapod 2062984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo has been doing the same thing. I've been so scared to confuse her days and nights that I keep trying to put her to sleep unless it's after 5am. Anytime after that I'm willing to start our day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-part-time#post-2062452 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 11:59:14 +0000 swurlygurl 2062452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: @regberadaisy: @nana87: @Mamasig: So glad I'm not just plain crazy. DH thinks I've lost my marbles, but I just can't stand all the crying. I'm on the fence about believing Wonder Weeks, but this all started at the exact time she was starting a new leap... I'm going to wait until the leap is supposedly over to bother starting any sort of sleep training. It's a 4-week one though! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-part-time#post-2061993 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 08:28:01 +0000 Mamaof2 2061993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes I have been there - it sucked but was much easier than trying to force them to sleep when they wanted to be awake!</p> <p>Hope it passes soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-part-time#post-2061968 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 08:14:33 +0000 regberadaisy 2061968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, there's times where if it's been a couple days I just lay her on her bedroom rug and chill before trying again. </p> <p>Sorry, mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-part-time#post-2061955 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 08:00:45 +0000 nana87 2061955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've done it off and on. Much less frustrating, I'd way rather let her play for 30 minutes than scream 2 hours </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-part-time#post-2061944 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 07:53:30 +0000 Mamasig 2061944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say do what works! For a while when DS1 was around 1, he'd wake up and nothing would work to put him back to sleep but a car ride. So off we went. A 15 minute car ride was way quicker than fighting him to sleep. As with everything else, the phase will pass! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motn-part-time#post-2061917 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 06:06:35 +0000 swurlygurl 2061917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone just temporarily accepted their baby's middle of the night party time?<br /> K is 5.5 months, and STTN from 7 weeks to just under 5 months, then it's all gone to hell. There is nothing that will comfort her in the middle of the night (not even me :crying: ) so I've taken to just getting up with her and playing from 3:30 - 5:00, and then put her down again at 5.<br /> I'm sure I'm creating some awful habits, but otherwise it turns into 3 hours of screaming, and no one gets sleep. </p> <p>Anyone else in the crazy boat with me? </p>
