She seems fine, if a bit dazed and very wet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-wake-the-baby#post-2875203 Wed, 06 Mar 2019 14:13:24 +0000 caitcat 2875203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older daughter did this a ton when she had ear infections as a baby. It was like sleep was all that made her happy. I usually woke her around 11ish and tried to get in an afternoon nap, but made sure to wake her early enough from that that it didn’t mess with nighttime sleep. </p> <p>Yes, it is SO hard to wake a sleeping baby!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-wake-the-baby#post-2875201 Wed, 06 Mar 2019 14:09:50 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2875201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: Good point. Don't want her on a completely backwards schedule! It is SO hard to wake a comfortably sleeping baby! Although I know she has to have leaked through her diaper by now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-wake-the-baby#post-2875200 Wed, 06 Mar 2019 14:08:35 +0000 kiddosc 2875200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably wake her up now, encourage her to eat lunch and then try to put her back down at a typical afternoon nap time. I know she needs the sleep, but I'd be worried about messing up sleep for tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-should-i-wake-the-baby#post-2875199 Wed, 06 Mar 2019 14:06:31 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2875199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>N has an ear infection and a nasty cold/cough. She started antibiotics 2 days ago, so I think they're starting to kick in now. After a restless night and a bottle at 5:30 this morning, she went back down and has been sound asleep ever since. It's 11 am. I'm at work watching her on the monitor freaking out a little bit. My mom will wake her if I ask, but has been checking and says she's not hot, not flushed, seems comfortable. Just sleeping. Do I need to wake her??? We are at 16 hours total now...she's 10 months. </p>
