baby jet lag

Has anyone experienced this?

We flew from Germany to the states for 12 days. He did awesome settling into the local time zone flying from the east to west, but coming home - west to east, is a nightmare.

For two days he was awake until midnight and would not sleep in his crib, so he slept with us.

I am not letting him sleep excessively during the day, and we wake and put him to bed around the same time at night.

Any advice? We were finally in a nice groove at night and now..this! I feel bad for him, but worse for us.

    This is my fear and why we decided not to go back to the States until we PCS.  A friend of mine who recently came back from visiting with her 1 yo struggled for a week with him before just letting him CIO.  Not sure how you feel about CIO, but we had to do that too, after going to Ireland and letting DS sleep with us that whole week.

    no, we don't do CIO. I guess I have to just give it time! It's a bummer, we had such a great trip, and a great flight, too!

    When it comes to jetlag, it usually takes a day to recover for every timezone you travelled, so give LO about a week of being fussy.  We travelled 10 timezones and DS took two weeks to get back on a regular schedule.
