Sleep Strike! Help! XP 3-6 mo.

DD will be three months on Friday and she has suddenly decided she wants to be awake between 3:30 and 7 am.  She will sleep at 10pmish until 3:30, then from 7:30 until 10:30.  It's only been three nights in a row but I feel nuts. 

She is not STTN, but she normally just wakes up once or twice to nurse and falls asleep at the breast.  (She is in her packnplay for the beginning of the night, and usually stays in bed with me after the first night feeding).  

Instead now she is fussing on the boob, refusing her paci, and not outright crying, but fussing and squirming enough that there is no way I can sleep - she will cry if I leave her alone.  I just keep switching between paci, breast, change her, and reswaddle. Nothing seems to work. 

Also, she has stopped napping during the day. She normally has at least one 2 hour nap in the afternoon, but lately she will only sleep about 20 minutes.  

I'm thinking she might be teething?? Not sure what to do. Help!

  • Based on your ticker, I would guess pretty hideous growth spurt. My LO's naps went to crap during his (well, I blame it on a growth spurt). It will get better. I'm sorry.
