Hellobee Boards

Haha this app is funny! I think J is going through something for sure. It started at the 5 month mark! He still sleeps and naps well, but his nighttime sleep has been a little off!

I don't know... I'm sort of refusing to believe in wonder weeks. I don't want them to be real since there seem to be so many of them!

J has had a good week so far. Despite sprouting her first tooth, she's been STTN and going down for naps and bed time pretty easily. The week before that her sleep was a mess and she was not going down easily.

I hope H goes to bed soon!!! Have you tried different positions? I find that laying her down on her side or belly and rubbing her back seems to work. Sometimes I lay her on her belly and she cries, so then I try her side and that works... no rhyme or reason. If that doesn't work, I roll up a blanket and prop her up on it (like a bobby)... then I watch her on the monitor and once she's asleep I sneak in and take it out of the crib. For some weird reason that seems to be working. I think this is a hard age!

I had to put the book away it was depressing me. It just seemed like there was always something. More stormy times than sunshine times. It made me anxious. Now that you reminded me I might give the book a quick peek. Oh shame!

Girlfriend, I'm right there in the lightening bolt with you! BUT, I have *27* days left in this leap! haha

Sadie was a little fussy/cranky today. She wasn't too bad, but she pretty much never fusses, so I know the WW is to blame. She's still sleeping fine, though she's taken to waking up around 5. She goes right back to sleep after I give her the paci, but I'm terrified of the 27 days left! This is the dreaded fourth leap/4-month sleep regression, so I'm just waiting for all hell to break loose.

@PrincessBaby: I used to nurse to sleep a lot (but not all the time) and still do it now and then. Half the time though it doesn't even work (i.e., she doesn't fall asleep). She's getting better at self-soothing, but the week before last was rough. I failed at CIO at night, but was able to get her to CIO for naps (she'd only cry for 5 min then). At night I started trying everying... putting her down in different positions, rocking her, staying in the room, doing CIO with checks, CIO no checks (I couldn't do it). This week she's been able to get herself to sleep either without fussing or with only a few minutes of crying. This is the first time really that she's ever STTN. For the longest time she was waking up 2x a night... then she finally got down to 1x, and now 0. Crossing my fingers. I'm sorry you are dealing with those wake ups... those were the same exact times J would wake up. Sucked!!!

Just got through week 37 and it was the first one since week 6(?) where the fussier actually coincided with a ww. Still having sleep issues but its mainly getting her to sleep moreso than getting her to stay asleep... So far.

We are out of WW 37...that combined with teething 4 teeth at once, awful!

Does the app let you have multiple kids? DH has said I can get the app but I just haven't gotten it yet

We're approaching the 9th leap now! Been in the gray for about a week & a half... thankfully P's "routine" is to have trouble falling asleep & being a tad clingy during the first gray week & then be back to normal until our stormy week so she's been okay the last couple days... When she hits the stormy week she doesn't nap/sleep/or be awake well. =/

I didn't buy the WW at first either b/c they didn't seem to match but as soon as I calculated from her edd & not her birthdate they matched perfectly... she's generally she's very easy, independent, and doesn't give any trouble sleeping (even though we do still night nurse & co-sleep/bed) but sheesh during those WW she's a totally different kid!

We're in the 9th leap and my DD hasn't slept well in 2 weeks. On top of it, the kid already almost has all her teeth, right now her incisors are all coming in at once, and so she's pretty cranky about that.

Yep, WW 42.5 here, leap #7. He's been waking up between 4:30-4:50am every morning for the past few days and has been super clingy and whiny during the day. He just started to walk (9.5 mos), so that isn't helping things either! He does seem to be right on track every time I check the WW app though, and that makes me feel better

@lemondrop: with my two girls, the early leaps seed to conform pretty well to the schedule. The later ones seemed to vary more. There were a few where I was pretty sure it happened a couple weeks earlier (at least the milestones they talk about did), and a couple where we were weeks behind. The girls did seem to go through all the stages (in order), though.

Oh also there were a few that just didnt seem to cause a lot of turmoil, either.

Ugh, we're in the 4th leap. I don't have the app (and can't buy it because I'm doing the no=spend week, ARGH!) but he's 17 weeks now so I believe we still have another couple of weeks of this nonsense. I think it's "world of events."

He's more moody than usual (swings quickly and frequently from laughing and smiling to crying and screaming) and his sleep is garbage. He wakes up 3-4 times a night, and most recently he wakes up at 3:30 to eat and then it takes an hour and a half to get him down. His nursing style has also fallen to crap. He gets really worked up and latches on and pops off a bajillion times then descends into a fit of rage.

So, basically, fun times for all.

On the other hand, he's grabbing EVERYTHING and definitely working out events -- see, grab, mouth -- and started babbling a tremendous amount this weekend. It is nice to see something come out of all this!

@PrincessBaby: Right there with you! I just keep telling myself it will get better. I feel like I'm nursing her constantly as a last resort and now my nipples hurt like crazy. I'm doing bottle only for the rest of the day. She was so awesome a few weeks ago.

@mrsjyw: Thanks
