Parenting after a Loss

So.F'in.Tired (Updated)

DD was up every.single.hour from 2-6 this morning. She went down at 9:30, fussed at 11:30 and 12:30. I fed her at 2, and she cried for 15-20 minutes afterwards. Repeat every hour on the dot. I didn't feed her until her 5am waking though.

DH is taking her in this morning to check for an ear infection. Is it bad that I really hope that she has an ear infection? I just want to know that something is wrong and we can fix it, rather than this be some unexplained sleep regression thing.

UPDATE: No ear infection. I could still be teething, but I doubt it. I'll give it a few more days but I'm guessing it may be time to sleep train.  =

  • I hear ya.  It would be nice to know that there is something wrong, so that hopefully it can be fixed.  If not, then the alternatives are not always fun for us moms.  ((hugs))  Hope she and you gets some sleep soon!

    I feel you, my sister.  ::Handing you a virtual latte with a shot of Baileys::

    G also has something going on (on top of his normal sh*ttsatic sleeping) involving occasional bouts of coughing and rubbing one side of his head/ear. We are off to the pedi this afternoon to try and ascertain if the cough is reflux or somthing else, and if he has an ear infection or just a weird fascination with one side of his head.  I too am hoping for something to give us a "reason" for at least these symptoms in his cornucopia of odd things to deal with.

    In a way I'm glad to hear it's not an ear infection, but wish it was something that you could easily point your finger at and fix.

    Good luck making your next decisions on how to proceed.
