Well I think i'd sleep in the car for the hour or two that it took for her to fall asleep, then tell him to come get me ;) Our house is too small and I'd hear her everywhere but the garage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064605 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 11:25:33 +0000 Smurfette 1064605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I couldn't do that. I would text/call him all night wondering what was going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064583 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 11:17:28 +0000 JoJoGirl 1064583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I already told DH if we have to CIO i'm sleeping in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064577 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 11:16:13 +0000 prettylizy 1064577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe she's just rolling into her 4 month sleep regression early? I am a firm advocate of 'follow your gut'.... if it seems like it'll help then give it a shot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064570 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 11:14:59 +0000 Smurfette 1064570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: @JoJoGirl: Mine amazes me, he will go back to sleep while we let her CIO. Meanwhile I close my eyes and check the monitor every 5 mins to see if she is tiring or asleep yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064508 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:51:43 +0000 JoJoGirl 1064508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: He'll do almost anything in the name of getting back in bed.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064506 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:51:15 +0000 LazyLightning 1064506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @JoJoGirl: Tough love from daddy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064505 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:50:41 +0000 JoJoGirl 1064505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @LazyLightning: Mine too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064474 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:41:50 +0000 Smurfette 1064474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: Oh yeah, mine is the same way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064469 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:40:55 +0000 LazyLightning 1064469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I'm pretty sure DH lets her cry a LOT more than I do, when he's home with her alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064462 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:37:58 +0000 Smurfette 1064462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: Yeah DH wanted to do CIO sooner then we did but I said no. She had a little bit of the cold left, really it was a running nose, but I couldn't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064405 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:24:43 +0000 LazyLightning 1064405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I think we may try CIO soon too. I want to make sure she's over being sick first (pretty sure she is, but still), so that I'm not just letting a sick-feeling baby scream, like a horrible cruel person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064368 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:12:36 +0000 Smurfette 1064368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>14 weeks is when R's sleep went to total crap as well. She got a cold and then once she felt better, she still wouldn't sleep. We would maybe get a 3 hr stretch at the beginning of the night. Then after that, she was up every 20-90 mins. I would have to hold her till she fell asleep and then wait another 10 mins before putting her down or she would wake back up. I have no clue how I worked, drove, functioned for a month doing that. I finally hit rock bottom and we did CIO.</p> <p>I should add too, now that she is teething, sleeping is totally in the crapper again. Like she forgot how to put herself back to sleep. But last night, she did wake up at 10, cried, moved around and fell back asleep. So fingers crossed she is figuring it out again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suddenly-awful-sleeper-at-14-weeks#post-1064359 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:08:46 +0000 LazyLightning 1064359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I have had a lot of issues with my little gal during the day, but at night, she's always been a pretty good sleeper. Even as a newborn, she got up twice a night max. (1:30 and 4 or so). Then by 6 weeks she dropped the 4:00 feed, and was just waking up once at 2:30 or 3 to eat. Then at 10 weeks, she delighted us by starting to STTN. For 3 weeks straight, she would go to sleep at 9 and not wake up until we woke her for daycare, at 6 or 6:30. I knew this wouldn't last (sleep regression and teething and such) but we were enjoying it. </p> <p>Then, on Saturday night, she got sick. Fever, just not feeling well, etc. We had a couple nights of really crappy sleep because of it (day and night - poor girl just couldn't stay asleep more than 1.5 hours or so, if that, even in her swing or in our arms). It was very unlike her, but she was sick, so... </p> <p>Well, she isn't sick anymore (not since Sunday. Been to the doctor too). But the sleep has been awful. She isn't napping well in the day (an hour or less 3-4 times a day, and she has to be in her swing or forget it). And then we put her down at night (8:30 or 9) and she's awake before 10, screaming. She screamed 2 hours last night before my husband got her calmed down and put her in her swing, and she kept waking up then too. She isn't hungry most of these times - we offer bottles and she'll drink like a quarter ounce while half-crying. She doesn't seem to be in pain either, just fussy.</p> <p>The night before that, she was basically awake 9:45 till 3:30 AM, with catnaps in between but waking up as soon as I'd try to set her down, even in her swing. And when being held, she squirms and kicks and thrashes her head and does not want to be held. She finally gets exhausted, but like I said, eyes snap open as soon as she's laid down. We ditched the swaddle 3 weeks ago, but when these sleep problems started happening I tried to bring it back and she just shrieked and shrieked and flopped around until she could break loose each time. </p> <p>So... I'm starting to wonder if it's time to sleep train? She used to be able to settle herself after waking up at night (we watched her do it several times on the baby monitor) or from a nap. It's as if she forgot how to do it over the weekend, or something. Or should i ride it out another week or two and see if she improves? </p> <p>I know there's a wonder week coming up, but according to my app we aren't there yet (since they go by due date, she's 12 weeks past her due date, though is 14 weeks old). She just finished the '3rd leap'. </p>
