I've create a monster...

I just typed out a looong detailed question and accidentally hit cancel. Ughhh! So short version:
We're going on a month of sleep regression. DD used to sleep.10 to 12 hours. Now after the first 3 hours, she won't sleep unless she's laying on me. How can I break her of this? I feel like we're out of the fussy period during the days, so things should be getting better at night but it's definitely getting worse. (She's been sleeping in her PNP in our room. She sleeps better in our bed, and best if she's on me. I can only put her in our bed once DH leaves in the am)

That's what I was thinking about doing. Do you think it's just that it's not over? I guess I just felt like once she was through the wonder week, her sleep would go back to normal too.

This wakeful business can go on for weeks and weeks. Just give LO some more time. Believe me, I know it's not easy.

My LO did the same. It took her 6 weeks to go back to sleeping 8-9 hour stretches. I would echo pp and find some way for her to be with you if possible.

Thanks! I'll be more patient. I think I had a minor freak out at 1:30 in the morning that I was never going to sleep on my side again.

5.5 weeks for us;  it's very likely not over yet.  Hang in there and move into the nursery or guest room or whatever you have available with LO! 


Yeah right! DH is going to the guest room! Lol
