So it occured to me the other day that I haven't not had a full nights sleep in almost 3 months. This would probably account for my increasingly high number of brain farts and moody moments. When I started thinking back to when Kaylee was born, it occured to me that she was sleeping through the night at 4 weeks in her OWN crib in her OWN bedroom. Now that Marley is 8 weeks old she is still waking up 2-3 times a night and is still sleeping in MY bedroom! This has got to stop for my sanity! Anyone have a copy of Baby Wise I can borrow???

That is so not fun! I think both of mine were at about 8 weeks, so it should be soon! Although, does anyone ever get a good nights sleep? I feel like we go in waves of one waking up every night at 4am, the other sleeps...then the next month they switch!?
ReplyDeletePS...I'm so proud of you on your 1st post! ;)
ReplyDeleteUgh, I remember those days, and dont envy you! But Kim is right, does it ever end? It seems to be rare when Cale hasnt had some sort of issue in the night. I was a huge fan of Healthy Sleeping Habits Happy Child by Weisenbuth (sp?). We did it with Drew hard core, and I think he is the BEST sleeper I know. BTW- I love how youre a blogger now!
ReplyDeleteI did not get sleepers until they were 9-10 months old, oh how I should of listened to those Baby Wise experts..... (Taryn & Shannon)... Oh and by the way, I need a BLOG lesson as well.... Kim, let me know when you are doing house calls.... Stefanie
ReplyDeleteKristi - I did a mix of Baby Wise and The Baby Whisperer when it came to sleep. I would let them cry for a little bit and usually it wouldn't last long if they didn't stop that's when I would go in. I would first try the pat and ssshhh and if that didn't work then I would pick them up. Honestly a lot of it is just the child. Michael was a great sleep and Jack...not so much.
