I've been checking for teeth every day but don't see anything yet. She's been "biting" while nursing, though, so that could be it. Thanks for the Tylenol suggestion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-every-30-40-minutes#post-293286 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 11:08:49 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 293286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: Is she teething?? From what you're describing, that's what it sounds like. Maybe give her some Tylenol before you put her to bed to help make her more comfortable? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-every-30-40-minutes#post-293281 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 11:06:59 +0000 pinkcupcake 293281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: I've been doing something similar, where instead of putting her down drowsy, I've been waiting for her to fall completely asleep before putting her back down. Usually I'll just hold her and doze off the couch. It's better than running up and down the stairs every hour, but I'm afraid of setting up some really bad habits :(</p> <p>@sammyfab: She used to fall asleep on her own, but somewhere in the past month or so, that's stopped. I've noticed she stopped self-soothing, and now she's relying on me to rock and nurse her back to sleep. </p> <p>I just wonder if there's anything I could do to help her "re-learn" how to self-soothe and put herself to sleep without CIO... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-every-30-40-minutes#post-293160 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:11:24 +0000 Sammyfab 293160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is a wonder week at around 6 months.</p> <p>Also, does your LO fall asleep on her own at night? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-every-30-40-minutes#post-293059 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 09:16:39 +0000 cvbee 293059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: Mine was doing something similar (throughout this 4th month) and I just started a coping mechanism where at that first wake up I nurse him to sleep and then I keep him at my boob while I watch tv until it is time for me to go bed. Then I transfer him into the crib and he doesn't wake up. Maybe it goes against all the rules, but he stays asleep and I don't lose my mind. I've done it for 3 nights now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-every-30-40-minutes#post-292887 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 05:09:21 +0000 brownie 292887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wonder week is usually our culprits. After a few weeks it gets better. We are smacked dabbed in him nursing almost every hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-every-30-40-minutes#post-292825 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:41:00 +0000 pinkcupcake 292825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: Haha yeah, I say everything is a growth spurt, too :) We'll see if she actually grows or not! I just think I'm going crazy from the lack of sleep again... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-every-30-40-minutes#post-292821 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:32:57 +0000 tequiero21 292821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm no help since my kids aren't 6 months yet (will be in a few weeks!), but maybe it's a growth spurt? lol@my husband says i think everything is a growth spurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-every-30-40-minutes#post-292752 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 21:40:56 +0000 pinkcupcake 292752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAGS: She's 6.5 months right now. It's been going on since she hit 6 months, I think... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-every-30-40-minutes#post-292751 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 21:39:51 +0000 LAGS 292751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is your LO? I'm only experienced with a little one up to 4 months, but we dealt with similar wakings and I'm thinking its the 4 month sleep regression. They say it can hit anywhere between 3-5ish months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-every-30-40-minutes#post-292747 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 21:37:38 +0000 pinkcupcake 292747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby, who is generally a very good sleeper (630PM - 630AM, with one nursing around 3 or 4AM) has been waking up SCREAMING every 30 - 40 minutes these past couple weeks. This is generally from 7PM to about 2AM. OMG, I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind. Basically every half hour, I have to run upstairs and console her. And it's not just little fussing either... it's full-blown screaming and crying. </p> <p>It's not b/c she's hungry; when I nurse her, I can tell it's just for comfort. I don't think she's teething (I don't see anything, anyways), and she's not sick. Any ideas what could be going on?? I'm so exhausted, tired, and cranky, and I don't want to CIO :( </p>
