Um....not awesome. I just posted this morning on needing some advice. E went down at 7:30 last night and was up every hour on the hour until about 1:45am, when we put her in the RnP. Then DH and I got up for work around 5:30. Ugh

We are in the 9 months sleep regression plus getting top teeth. Last week he was up ever hour. Sometimes even every 30 mins. I want to pull my hair out. He is a crap sleeper to begin with. Last night was much better so fingers crossed it is almost over. I also really need to sleep train but I really don't want to haha.

LO has a cold (and just got over one before this one) and were out of town right now... I think she has sttn 2-3x in the past month but the past couple weeks have been crappy. And of course she is fussy all day too. I wish I could go to work during the day... The only thing saving my sanity is that dh is with us and I've gotten some sleep thanks to him. But still neither of us is usually getting near a full night of sleep. 4 hrs at a time (and usually 30 min-1 hr otherwise) I'm considering a success. I thought by almost a year this wouldn't be such an issue.

We're currently at 3 wakeups. 11, 2, and 4. Sometimes she goes back to sleep after the 4am wakeup and sometimes not. LO is 6 months. She regressed because of a volient cough that I could only stop with nursing. Now she's accustomed to 3 feeds per night. I think we'll re-sleep train this weeked and try to get back to one wakeup/feed per night.

@silva - sad! hang in there!

i just started going through a minor sleep regression with j. she's been STTN (9:30-6:30) but on a few occasions, has woken up around 4am.

she's been rolling over a lot more, and is being a lot more vocal lately. she plays with her feet & is a lot more aware of everyone/everything. must be distracting!

also she's MUCH harder to put down for naps. she used to go to bed right after her first wakeup, but now she'll be hanging out in the crib for upwards of 30 min or more.

and for naps, she screams and rolls around a lot before sleeping. if she rolls over, i have to go in & turn her over so she can get to sleep.

she also used to fall alseep quickly in the stroller/ergo on walks. now she'll be up for ages while being walked, even if it's way past her naptime.

going back to work in a couple weeks so hope the sleep situation doesn't get worse, esp at night. j won't take a bottle so wondering if that'll mess with her sleep once i go back to work (i.e. nursing at night to make up for daytime bottle strike)...
