It will pass soon I'm sure! Then he should go back to sleeping good for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1247011 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:58:27 +0000 .twist. 1247011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: haha I was hoping to get at LEAST more than 3 weeks of awesome sleep. I knew it couldn't last forever but not even one full month?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246983 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:53:48 +0000 Cherrybee 1246983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Ugh! I had it in my head that once we sleep trained (I'm planning to do it at 5.5 months) that would be it - awesome little sleeper who rarely wakes in the night. I'm gutted to read these responses and realise that's not the case. Kill meeeee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246953 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:48:28 +0000 .twist. 1246953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: yea, I do appreciate that he won't sleep 12 hours forever. I suppose last night was frustrating on multiple levels and I just vented. I didn't realize it might be a cold until this morning when we all woke up with sore throats (well both my husband and I do, not sure about the little guy haha) and he had way more snot. So I am betting it had something to do with not feeling well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246935 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:43:40 +0000 immabeetoo 1246935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's always something; babies are always growing and changing. Sorry!! I'm just thankful I SAH and can rest if we have a bad night. We just got over our first sickness and I felt so bad he couldn't breathe, and it was giving me flashbacks of waking up multiple times a night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246849 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:25:55 +0000 NovBaby1112 1246849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it is frustrating that you just trained him, but it is totally normal for babies to regress or wake up more when teething/sick/milestone related. We have gone through a couple regressions after we sleep trained LO at 6.5 months, and they may have lasted a few days to a week, and then she went back to normal without any problem or need to "retrain". Once a baby learns how to do something, they will remember. He might be getting sick, or have an upset tummy, or teething, and need the comfort right now. Just because you sleep train doesnt mean they will sleep 12 hours straight forever- baby sleep is constantly changing and evolving. I KNOW it sucks to have just trained him and now dealing with this, but trust me, it will pass sooner than it came! Hang in there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246848 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:25:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 1246848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: c has been pooping a lot more at night too. I was thinking it was bc she is up more to eat at night, therefore there is more to poop, but maybe it's the reverse- her tummy is upset so she's waking more? Either way we've had 3 blowouts in four mornings. But Dh gets her in the morning :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246812 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:13:13 +0000 .twist. 1246812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's everyone, you all made me feel a lot better. I HOPE this is a one time thing. For some reason he seemed to have pooped more than usual at night and I'm wondering if maybe he's getting sick? We are all starting to feel a little under the weather today and I wonder if that is why.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246391 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 08:44:46 +0000 Foodnerd81 1246391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: your note about fighting the morning nap convinced me to just let her fall asleep on me right now. Little half nap on the boob will buy me some time, if Dh can be quiet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246383 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 08:43:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 1246383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: I had the same thing in my moms group- a couple of the babies would just doze off sweetly while I looked on a confusion and C whined and cried bc she was hungry. Luckily half the babies there were almost as bad as her at napping so I didn't feel as alone. It really is harder comparing to good little sleepers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246290 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 07:45:36 +0000 delight 1246290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I'm sorry you're having such a rough go at sleep. I miss seeing you around our August boards. I hope you were finally able to get some sleep last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246286 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 07:38:38 +0000 JoJoGirl 1246286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing is permanent! We sleep-trained a month ago and have had a handful of 3am wakings this week too. LO is sick so I've been nursing her but we'll probably have to do it again once she feels better. AND we're traveling next week which is going to royally F things up. You have to view baby's sleep habits like the weather... wait 5 minutes and it'll change :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246284 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 07:36:23 +0000 looch 1246284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the world's worst sleeper, at least the one in the 3 year old range.</p> <p>I had to sleep train 3 times for it to go correctly, at 11 months. Hang in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246251 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 06:57:04 +0000 hilsy85 1246251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is he? I feel for you, and if it helps, I feel like my lo could give yours a run for worst sleeper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246243 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 06:32:20 +0000 Anagram 1246243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My babies sleep degenerated at just over 3 months and is still horrible now at 4.5 months do you definitely don't have the worst sleeper out there. Most of my friends with babies are also dealing with multiple wakeups a night. It's just developmental. My husband and I take turns and just deal with it for now. We're not against sleep training but knew we wouldn't do it at 4 months because of the holidays coming up (travel and sleep disruptions) and because the book Bed Timing says 6 months plus is ideal for sleep training.</p> <p>So we're just feeding her on demand ( even at night) and dealing with it. I'm back at work, so it's hard by manageable.</p> <p>Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246236 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 06:21:08 +0000 Cherrybee 1246236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel you! It took me two hours to get E to sleep last night!! She would drift off just long enough for me to go downstairs and then she would spit the dummy out and wail. After that, she only had me up twice during the night which is really good at the moment - I think we're in the middle of that 4 month regression thing - but she's fighting her morning nap now too! Why oh why oh why oh why?!! </p> <p>@illumina: That sounds familiar. All my friends' babies will fall asleep of their own accord anywhere and everywhere. Mine just whines! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246235 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 06:21:05 +0000 Smurfette 1246235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to sleep train twice. She regressed majorly. And now is back to waking up at 5 and it sucks. </p> <p>Hang in there Mom! They like to keep us on our toes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246202 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 04:41:27 +0000 illumina 1246202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh honey :( Do you think you need to start CIO again? I feel your frustration-- yesterday at baby group all the other babies just fell asleep so nicely when they got tired and S was the only baby disturbing the peace as I tried to get her off to sleep! I ended up walking her around the room in the Ergo and one Mum was like "oh, do you have to do that when you're out?" and I was like "oh no, at home too, mostly!" :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246194 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 03:58:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 1246194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't formally done sleep training yet but C's sleep has been even worse than usual, with thatcfirstcwaje up inching earlier and earlier. It sucks. I want some uninterrupted sleep! Up now and hoping she goes down easier than last nights battle of wills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246188 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 03:41:00 +0000 BabyMats 1246188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: did he go back to sleep? G had been waking up about an hour earlier lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246178 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 02:50:46 +0000 Kemma 1246178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because babies are tricky wee creatures and just as you think you've got them figured out, they go and change again!</p> <p>Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-is-my-kid-awake#post-1246174 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 02:28:21 +0000 .twist. 1246174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did sleep training. He was a terrible sleeper and the I did sleep training and he is awake right now crying inhis crib and I have no idea why. The last 2 nights he has woke up way earlier than normal, since training. Tonight he has woken up 3 times already. </p> <p>Why have I been given the worst sleeper of all time. It hasnt even been a whole month since we did sleep training. I haven't even gotten a whole month of normal sleep since trying to fix his sleep. Why? I don't even know what to do right now. :( </p>
