How did you handle these new middle of the night wake ups? We are going on 3 weeks and its not getting any better. I've tried rubbing his back, giving him the paci, if that doesn't
Work I pick him up and rock him which sometimes keeps him up longer ! I don't think he's hungry and my pedi said don't get in the habit of going back to middle of the night feedings. I'm at a loss. Should I let him cry and try to
Put himself back to sleep?
Re: If you've experienced sleep regression
I would disagree with your pedi too. Have you seen this?

I've read that but DS is not breast fed I stopped at 10 weeks for medical reasons so I'm not sure it applies?! I guess I could try feeding tonight
Same here. DS would take a full 8 oz bottle but at some point in the day he would just go a really long time between feedings. It was a little wonky but once he got through the regression all of his feedings went back to being in the day with the first one around 5-5:30 am.
DS is in the middle of it right now and we do this, exactly.
We are so thankful that our second daughter, Lillian Elizabeth "Lily", was born healthy and happy on February 11, 2013. We love her to pieces.
We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011. She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.
BFP1: DD1 born April 2011 at 34w1d via unplanned c/s due to HELLP, DVT 1 week PP
BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w4d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence
I'm with the others here: DD was waking up to EAT because she was hungry- not because she was trying to difficult or thought it was fun as my pedi attempted to imply (bad pedi!!)
I bring her into bed and nurse her until she falls asleep. I'm not ready to sleep train and she's not able to get herself back to sleep on her own without crying quite a bit. It was the only way to bear the regression with any semblance of normalcy.
kelly321: how's it going, btw?! I know you've been really going through it!
