I don't know which is worse

The last two nights LO has been so crabby.  She would sleep much of the day and then wake up around 4-5pm and stay up.  She gets so over tired but will just fight sleep, no matter what I try.  Finally, around 10 or so she'll fall asleep and be out for 6-7 hours!  It's been so nice to get a long stretch of sleep but I almost wonder if I'd rather get up once during that time to nurse her and have a happy baby at night.  Actually, I'd rather have both!  A girl can dream right??? Smile

    I can't believe you are complaining about this routine!! I couldn't be more jealous...my LO hasn't slept longer than 3 hrs. at any given moment. Just enjoy your sleep b/c most of us aren't getting any Tongue Tied

    My DS went through this when he was a little over a month old.  It lasted a couple of weeks and was a little frustrating but now he goes down by 7:30, I can't get him to stay awake any longer, will sleep until 2 or 3 then nurse and go back down until 6.  I love his new schedule and it's so much nicer having a happy baby at night and even down early.  I have an evening to myself again.  Hopefully your LO is only in this phase for a little while.  It can be exhausting.

    I know that I'm blessed with her sleeping and shouldn't complain.  It's just tough watching her crying all evening when nothing seems to calm her and having a toddler to take care of too.  DH is a great help, but I just wish I knew what was wrong with her!

    In my opinion it sounds like she is ready for an early bed time.  You should try to keep her up more during the day and then put her down around 6:30 or 7:00 for the night.  I bet she will start sleeping all the way through until 6 or 7.  The earlier babies go to bed, the longer they sleep and the sooner a schedule is truly established. GL!!
