Wouldn't you know, the night before my sleep post goes up, Liam has one of the worst nights of sleep since he was a newborn. He woke up around 11 and went back to sleep on his own a few times, but then stayed up. We rescued him and he continued to scream bloody murder as we tried to rock/bounce him to sleep. I gave in and nursed him, but he still wouldn't sleep. If he was in bed with us, he wanted to play and chat. If we tried to go back in his room, he started screaming. I finally got him back to sleep around 2am and was able to transfer him to his crib. He was still sleeping when I left for work around 7:20, which almost never happens.

I checked him all over for any indication that he was in pain and ended up giving him motrin in case it was his teeth that were hurting, but I'm wondering if it's possible he was having night terrors. I think it's too early, though.

Anyway, this is the second night this week where I only got 4 hours of sleep (he had a rough night two nights ago, but he wasn't nearly as upset as last night) and I hope it doesn't continue, for his sake and for ours.

What do you do when you don't know what's wrong with your LO?
