God does anyone else go through this?

My LO has always been a great sleeper- always STTN ect.....She does though have these sporadic crazy nights every once in a while and last night was one of them. She got up at 230, I changed her nursed her walked her and she was passed out- layed her down and she was right back up- this went on until 5 am until I finally just pulled her in bed with me...I dont get it! She was SOOO upset towards 5 am and I could tell she just wanted to get comfy and go to sleep but nothing I did worked, and to hear her cry that hard bothered me. It was chilly last night and we did have the heat on, but I am thinking her sheets were cold and maybe that made her not comfortable when I layed her down, I dont know.

Its like I dont care that she wakes up in the middle of the night but I wish I could get her down shortly thereafter. Not to mention I am so hard on myself and when things like this happen I contemplate it all day and just beat myself up that she didnt get enough sleep lasst night which now carries into today because this morning she has been supper fussy! I love when the days go smooth, she naps and eats well, but I know there will be tough days, I know our LO is not a robot!!

Anyone else ever go through this? Anyone feel the same as me about being so tough on themselves??

    It sounds like you have a very (usually) easy going baby, but they can't be that way ALL the time.  Maybe she wasn't feeling well, or maybe something else was up, that you can't control.  You do your best, and you'll both get through.

    DS has some nights like that, like last night! but it only took about an hour of putting him down asleep, waking up immediately when I put him down. DS has never been a good sleeper so I think it's "easier" for me to deal with multiple wakings, but I do sympathized with being hard on yourself. It makes me feel bad that I can't figure out what's wrong. By now I've just gotten used to the idea that not one day will be the same as yesterday, that he can have "off" days and that maybe tomorrow will be easier.

    Sometimes when I've tried everything to get my daughter to sleep, I just lay her in her bassinet (yeah she's still using it teehee) and she'll go right to sleep.  Or I'll let her cry for a few minutes (sometimes she just needs to get it out.) check on her and let her know I'm there, leave and let her cry a few minutes and go back in.  She usually puts herself to sleep by the third time.  I don't know if this helps at all, but my baby is also usually easy going and when she's fussy this helps us.
