Halp!! Need sleep advice tonight.

..I must have bragged about my great sleeper....because tonight he's already woken up 5 times.

DS usually goes to bed at 7:15 or so after our routine, and he has been sleeping until around 6 am or so. We've been really lucky, so I really have no clue how to handle this tonight. I've comforted him, changed his diaper, nursed, and now he's up again. Since we really haven't had to sleep train and fell into a good routine, I guess I need a little crash course on how to handle this tonight if you ladies have any advice.

And, FWIW, he doesn't nap for me during the day. Catnaps at best, sometimes more for other people, but it varies daytoday. The night sleep is the only thing that's pretty consistent, which I've been so grateful for.

Re: Halp!! Need sleep advice tonight.

  • I suck at getting my kid to sleep so no advice from me. You do have my condolences.

    Then and now. How did my boy get so big?

  • I can't complain really since one night is squat compared with a baby who doesn't sleep at night. Just figured i'd ask the gurus who have been dealing with it and hope for some wisdom. He needs to sleep tonight because he has physical therapy in the morning and that pisses him off as it is. Tired plus PT is not a great combo.

  • Sometimes they just have rough nights. I would give it a few days before you incorporate any kind of sleep training. My DD is usually a great sleeper but we recently had a few bad nights. She's back to normal now. Think positive sleep thoughts!

  • Thanks. We haven't had a rough night in a while, so I was in a spoiled stupor and really thought I was doing something wrong and/or there was a magic cure.

  • I had a friend post a really similar situation on facebook a few weeks ago and her LO had a tooth come through within the next day.  Maybe?  Fingers crossed it is a one night only thing.  Hope you get some sleep!

    Do you mind if I ask why he is doing PT?  New around here.. 

  • Welcome!!
    He's doing PT because he has torticollis.

    Forgive the lack of quoting in replies; bumping from phone.
