MOTY award

in Success after IF
I think it's my turn for (worst) MOTY award!  

I take my shower after I put M down for his first nap.  He almost always puts himself to sleep before I get into the shower, and always asleep by the time I'm done.  However, lately he's taking longer to fall asleep at times, due to separation anxiety + 5th tooth cutting through.

This morning I did my usual nap routine with him, then took a shower. He was still whining when I was done (15 mins). I waited another 5 minutes to see if he'd fall asleep, but his cries started to escalate.  We only have an audio monitor; I try NOT to go into his room b/c that usually riles him up more.  

Anyway, after 20 mins, I went into his room b/c he was crying more.  Ugh, poor M was STANDING in his crib sobbing (while wearing his sleepsack).  I know he can pull himself up to stand but haven't seen him done it with the sleepsack.  He was crying because he was tired and couldn't get down.  I don't know how long he's been standing...  I felt like the worst mother ever.

I laid him back down and he was out in a matter of minutes.  Maybe we should splurge on a video monitor.

    Aw PB don't beat yourself up. We've all done similar things. When we just had our audio monitor, I once let DD cry for about 20 min then went in and realized she had pooped and was rolling around in it. I felt terrible.

    We did end up getting a video monitor, and I have to say I don't regret spending the extra money AT ALL. Especially now that DD is in a toddler bed and has some freedom, it is really worth it.

    Girl, if the worst thing you do as a mom is let your kid stand and scream for 20 minutes while you take a shower I think you really do deserve a Mom of the Year Award ;)  Don't be upset.  He survived and won't ever remember it ever happened in 30 seconds.

    Aww, big hugs pb. It happens, he wasn't hurt at all, and now you know. The phase of not being able to get back down doesn't last very long.

    This!!! Plus, maybe it all just tired him out and finally allowed him to get to sleep.

    The same happened to my DD this am - except she can only get to her knees.  I was just downstairs talking to my mom for few minutes letting her cry.  The other day, she was crying and then stopped and went to sleep - when I checked on her, she had a leg stuck in the crib rails.  If you are bad then I am a 1000x worse!

    Just like our sweet little ones to make us feel so awful. Maybe a video monitor would be good.

    I layed A down once when she was out cold. A few minutes later she started fussing and crying. I tried letting her go a little hoping she would fall back asleep. Well, I have her 15 minutes and she was so upset! I picked her up and she let out a huge burp and was asleep again in 10 minutes. I felt so horrible:(. It happens. Don't beat yourself up!
