I spent the morning with my future son-in-law (sorry @babyjmama) and he is an ear puller while DD puts her head down no matter what she's doing.
What are you little one's sleep cues?
-
She becomes a cranky, tantrum-y, mommy clingy mess!
-
Red eyes. Her little eyebrows start turning red. And the fuss.
-
Lots of eye rubbing. That's the major sign. Plus she just looks tired. Other times she'll go from crazy happy active baby to zonked after nursing for 3 minutes. So weird.
-
@BlueWolverine: that was LO's when she was younger!
-
Rubbing his eyes, tugging his ears, but especially back arching tantrums. He's started just lying down on the floor recently too.
-
Eye rubbing, yawns, and general craziness. Wired is tired.
-
Rubbing his eyes
-
he kinda zones out, but it's kind of hard to tell because he fights sleep. when he yawns/rubs his eyes or ears, he's pretty far gone and i have to throw him into the crib. i *wish* he would just put his head down, or yawn earlier.
-
Eye rubbing and whining. And clinginess.
-
Rubbing her eyes and her eyelids get red. She will yawn too.
-
Running eyes, pulling ears, head-butting the ground or me. Getting really whiny. Walking over to the crib and holding the slats, lol.
-
Yawn, more verbal, fingers in mouth. She's pretty easy to read!
-
Rubs her eyes.
-
she rubs her eyes and her face looks sleepy
-
Rubs his eyes and yanks on his ears.
-
Eye rubbing, crankiness, and he will borough his head into my chest/shoulder if I'm holding him.
-
Yawn
Rubs eyes -
The earliest cue is if she's sitting down, she'll crane her neck to one side (she's done that since she was a newborn). The other cues are that she'll get a sudden burst of energy, but be very clumsy.
-
eye rubbing, glazed look, and yawning!
but he's pretty scheduled so gets put down for a nap way before any signals! thankfully he loves naps.... and so do i.
-
Eye rubbing, yawning, glassy eyes.
Though sometimes there are no cues and he just falls asleep!!! That's the best.
-
I'm following this because I think I'm missing my LO's early sleep cues. He's an overtired mess by the time I try to get him down! I'm thinking there may be some listed here I haven't been looking for yet
-
Eye rubbing, yawning, and the occasional shrieking when she is really tired.
-
@BlueWolverine: i noticed the red eyes/eyebrows thing in LO (ten weeks) and i worried it was allergies! will pay more attention to this!
-
@maybebaby: Me too! I never considered my LO's red eyebrows could mean she is getting sleepy! Looking out for this now.
At this point, i have noticed she just gets a little fussy and yawns.
-
Yawn or cranky. He has always been tough with the cues.
