How is LO sleeping these days??

tiff012982 · January 2013

DD has been a NIGHTMARE the past week and I am officially coughing it up to either teething or this 18 month regression that I have heard so much about. Since we all have babies around 18 months or so what is going on with you?? Do you believe in this sleep regression? I am hoping it passes in the next couple of weeks as we will have a newborn as well in this house and I don't know what I will do with 2 screaming babies

TIA

The 18-month sleep regression never even occurred to me, but it makes sense.

DD2 will be 18 months next week, and the past 2-3 weeks have sucked big time. It *seems* to be getting better now, except for the fact she's moved up her wake up time by an hour. Oy!

We never had that with DD1 because she was a terrible sleeper (thank you never-ending ear infections), so we never really noticed when she was teething or anything...

No changes here.. sorry I have nothing to add other than to hope like hell this 18 month regression business is not real!

For your sake I hope it skips your house if it is true. I'm definitely in HELL

I can definitely relate as this morning was...... 5AM!!! Who gets up at that hour willingly, lol!! I'm now praying for 6am and that was early for us just 2 weeks ago

We have had one week in the last month of solid sleep. And that was the only break in teething we have had in FOREVER! We are working on I teeth now. I can see one bottom one on the verge. I need to sleep!! And I hate teeth!

I feel you... We are in the same spot as you!! May be a combo of both the 18 month regression and teething. However, it has been more so teething. She's cutting at least 3 teeth and a low fever. Going on night 6 of waking every TWO hours and being up for the day 4:30 to 5:30.It will be soon enough that we will have to get up that often for our new babies... These kids better get back to sleeping more normally soon!!!

Don't get me started :-(

Like a champ lately...except for tonight! To be fair, she slept like sleeping was going out of style most of the day, but she is still tired and she just won't go down tonight. Frustrating!

Seriously, though. Lately this little toddler has had me scratching my head at whatever the heck kind of beast I had during the newborn stages. This girl was impossible for her first 3 months of life, at least. And half impossible for the 3 following that. Now, when we come up on a nap time or bed time, all I have to do is ask her if she's ready to go night-night and she toddles straight to her room - stopping only to retrieve and insert her paci and collect her blanket.

Ummmm, what?!?!? I forgot about the sleep regression! Well this past month was absolute hell, so I'm hoping we just went through it. Or, I have yet another bullshiit month to look forward to. :::hides under the covers:::

In the same boat. Forbthe past 23 nights DD has turned into a nanny 911 call. Last night it was over an hour of going into her room and putting her back in bed, her getting out, putting her back. It sucks. Once she is asleep she's out till 730 but getting her there sucks.

Amy, I hear you. I am really scared and DH is not an early riser. We are in big trouble!

Ladies this SUCKS....but I have to say that it helps to hear I'm not the only one walking around like a zombie. Thanks

18 month sleep regression? I had no idea!

DD hasn't slept as well since we moved about a month ago, and I chalked it up to that. She still STTN most nights, but has been waking up about an hour earlier than normal. She will go back to sleep if I go in there and tell her it's not time to get up yet, but that means I have to get up, and then I'm up for the day. So I guess other than that we don't have it too bad. I did notice she is cutting another tooth as well, and although it doesn't seem to bother her too much, I wondered if that was part of it.

DS has slept horrible for the last month . it's been awful! he's slept through the night *maybe* 4 times . he's ended up in my bed every single night too . I've been too lazy to rock him back to sleep and cio hasn't been working . both last night and this evening he hasn't gone to bed until 9:15. it's been rough

This pretty much describes DD. Last night was the first night since...I don't know how long, weeks....that she wasn't in our bed. I'm not holding my breath, though, it could totally be a fluke.

Dd went for a week where she only took a nap on my chest. Some nights she sleeps great, others she wakes a 5, yells for an hour and then sleeps with us from 6 to 7.
