sleep...

How is your LO's sleep nowadays? How long does it take?
For the past 2 weeks it has been a constant battle to get her to sleep. It sometimes takes an hour and a half and many tears. Right now it's been an hour since I've been trying to get her to nap. I want to blame teething or something but maybe it's age or maybe she hates me.

If DS is being difficult about naps or bedtime then I will usually just lay down with him and he will be out inside of 15 minutes. I don't know if that helps or not but it has been working for us and it is better than fighting him for an hour or more.

Pretty much the same as it's been, but I think DS got a little messed up with the holidays since I was not working and we got to "sleep in". I usually put him to bed around 7:30, but the past few nights he hasn't seemed very tired and I will hear him babbling to himself and rolling around until about 8. He will usually sleep at least 10 hours a night. Every few days he will wake up in the middle of the night for an hour or two and just talk to himself. His naps are pretty consistent and good. I hope your DD's sleep gets better soon!

Is she dropping a nap maybe?

The bast two nights it has been better but I honestly can't give a real response. I don't know why my kid doesn't like to sleep. She's smart, happy, listens well but just doesn't like sleep. ::sigh:: I just keep telling myself one day she'll get it.

If it makes you feel better my pedi told me that some parents are just blessed with non sleepers. It sounds like you got lucky too! I'm hoping one day she will love sleeping.

Maybe? Her naps are usually 2.5 hours. During the Christmas break she only had one nap but then she doesn't go to bed until 10. She used to nap from 11:30 to 2 then 5 to 6.

When she sleeps she sleeps fine. It's the getting her to sleep that has ALWAYS been a problem. Even when she was a newborn, she didn't sleep much. P.s. She finally fell asleep, on my arm.
P.s.s I just noticed that I responded mid quote. I'm one handed and on my phone so I can't fix. Sorry!

We just re sleep trained this week. (I forgot the pack and play when we went to my parents house, but don't worry my dad had a lawnmower box which fit a sofa cushion, so she slept in there, but it was too short and she could climb out, so I had to rock her to sleep). We are on day 4 or 5 and she only cries when I stick her in her crib, but has stopped once I close the door. For naps we just put her in her crib, give her a book and her stuffed animal, turn on some music and leave the room. At night it is the same except we use white noise instead of music.

Would your DD hang out in her crib if she had a book or a toy? Maybe one of those could make her relax enough to fall asleep?

Other than last night when he was up at 10, 12:30, 2:30, and 6 LBB's sleep has been incredible. (I think he's getting in his other molar since he hasn't had such a bad night's sleep in months).

During the day he lets us know when he wants a nap - which is usually between 11:30 and 1pm (depending on what time he gets up). He comes crawls on your lap, or asks to be picked up and then tucks his head into your chest. He's usually asleep by the time I bring him to his crib. At daycare, they all pull out their mats at 12:30 and he crawls right on his and goes to sleep.

At night, he's usually out minutes after he finishes nursing. With me, he likes to cuddle, but DH just puts him in his crib and he goes right to sleep. He typically sleeps until around 5:30/6:30am lately. During the week, we just let him get up, but on the weekends I'll nurse him and put him back down and he'll sleep till 7:30/8.

We cosleep. I know, you might say this is the problem but when my mom puts her to sleep, there's not much fight back.
I don't nurse anymore. We weaned over a month ago and even then she fought me. I tell ya, she hates me.

Thanks. It's always good to hear I'm not the only one.
