REALLY, DD?!?!

Since 5 weeks Maddy has been a great sleeper, going down at around 9 and up at around 6, only waking once to eat. Starting Thursday night, she has been sleeping no more than four hours at bedtime and waking 2-3 times at night. I thought we hit the growth spurt last week. Last night she went down at 8, was up from 1-2, again at 4 and a third time at 5:30. DH took her downstairs to play while I showered and she is passed out in her swing at 6:15. WTF? I go back to work next week and won't be able to deal with this....

What did she do last week that made you think it was her spurt?  This is what my LO did during hers and it only lasted 1 week.  GL!

She was nursing a lot more often than usual, seeming unsatisfied, and I heard that this one is not as bad as the 6 week spurt.

Thanks ladies, hopefully this is temporary. She has been fighting naps since 2 months. I will go nuts if this doesn't end.

We're going through almost the exact same thing. DS was doing great- only waking once at night to eat. Ever since he had his growth spurt, he's been sleeping shorter stretches at night. We tried to move up his bedtime so he could get more sleep. But now, instead of going down without a peep, he cries, I have to go in & pick him up & walk him around & put him down again about 3xs before he finally goes down. ugh! I am back at work today, so it's definitely bad timing!

Isaac has been really inconsistent since last Saturday. I know we've had it really easy so far and don't want to seem selfish, but I really want my sleeping baby back!!! I think it started as a 3-month growth spurt, but do they usually go this long?? Good luck to you, though
