Sleeping Issues
Bella is having the worst time sleeping. She was sleeping through the night and now is waking up 3 or 4 times a night...very upset, very uncomfortable, very difficult to get back down.
Anyone have similar issues? She's going on 9 months...is there a wakeful period or a growth spurt I am forgetting about?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or adivce

Re: Sleeping Issues
My daughter did this, probably near the same age. After about three months of just dealing with her whenever she woke up, I ended up doing the Ferber method with her and now night time is much easier. We also switched her to overnight diapers and that seemed to make a difference.
Sometimes they need to drop one nap, sometimes it's because they've started walking/crawling/something else, or it's something that you'll never figure out. My suggestion would be to read up on a couple of different put-your-baby to sleep methods and pick the one you're most comfortable with. The important thing is once you start, to stick with it. I know my daughter tests me every once in awhile and we've been doing this for two and a half months now.
Good luck!
OMG, we were having some wakeful issues last week and I would find that he had leaked through his diaper two nights in a row. So I put him in Huggies Overnights and he's been STTN great since then!!
