Can someone please give me hope that my five month old son will eventually sleep in stretchers of longer than two hours? My daughter was sleeping through the night at five months so I am lost at what to do and incredibley tired!
F had her first big meltdown for me last night. For about 20 minutes, nothing I did worked and it was her bedtime. It was so scary to see her scream and not be able to comfort her.
She likes to hit herself in the face, I am sure she will graduate to walls.

can someone tell me why when I was away my son stopped snuggling in bed and decided to sleep perpindicular to me and DH and now has decided that he wants me to sleep with him alone? That DH in the bed is cramping his style so it's a GREAT idea to get up at 2:30 AM and continue to fuss/scream/get down from bed for an hour? Is only happy when I am STANDING holding him with his head on my shoulder? huh?huh?huh?

I am seriously at a loss at what to do!
Put him in his crib. And let him cry for a bit. But gently teach him that your bed is YOURS and not Y'alls. Honestly, we had to finally reclaim our bed when K started doing exactly what you are describing and we just couldn't take it anymore. Our bed was not big enough for her to spread all out....and no one was getting quality sleep. It took only about 2-3 days and honestly less tears than I expected for us to break her of the co-sleeping habit.
It just may be that time.

as far as the perpendicular, who knows BUT the 1st part is probably seperation anxiety from you being gone. now that youre back, he only wants you. he'll move past it. little ones don't know a thing about time and when we leave them, they often don't know we were gone until we get back. when we went to Pebble Beach last year, Truitt didn't cry for us once, but when we got back he was a hot mess...
