in a nutshell. LO and I are traveling, she cut her second tooth a couple of nights ago and she caught my cold. Her sleep has gone to hell and now is using my very sore boobs as a pacifier, refuses the real thing. She was up every hour last night and it looks like tonight will be the same. I'm trying not to bed share but at this rate it's the only way I get a tiny amount of sleep. I guess I'm looking for words of encouragement or advice...thanks.

Thanks. It's so much going on. I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed.

I love the occasional bed share! Hugs and keep reminding yourself that its temporary!

We ended up 100% bedsharing when we had a similar experience traveling over the holidays. Otherwise, no one would have slept.

Sorry it's so rough right now. Thankfully, all these phases pass! Do what you need to do to get through this!

Hang in there!  The rough patches happen, and when they happen on the road they are exponentially worse!  Wishing you luck and sending you calm thoughts!

I sleep in the recliner with DD on nights like that. Her and I sleep better than in her crib or bed sharing.

Good luck. Enjoy the snuggles and trust that it is just a phase.

Sorry you're struggling.  We call that "road rules" and whatever happens, happens.  Gotta do what you gotta do to get some sleep for yourself and your LO.  Good luck!
