I did the usual... lotion, jammies, nurse... he got pissy nursing, so I put him down. Now he's upstairs babbling and banging his feet! Do I get him up or leave him be? Decisions, decisions.... DS1 never went through the 4 mo wakeful, if that's what this is!
Re: what to do... LO's wide awake after bedtime routine!
This is EXACTLY what I'm going through right now!! It's awful! We were up 7 times last night between 11:00 (the first time I finally got her down)- 1:00am! Even the few times that we were able to get her in her crib asleep, she woke up within 5 mins.
Needless to say, Mommy and Daddy are exhausted!!
She had been going down so well... this is NIGHT 5 of the "wakefulness".
Here are some things that KIND OF work for me: singing to her while rocking, putting her down on her tummy and patting her butt.
We'll see what tonight brings, but I'm not very hopeful...
GL to us both!!

We are on night 11 of this "4 month wakeful" phase. I am like a zombie!
