  I personally wouldn't worry too much about bad habits just yet (even though it's so hard to do). I food out yesterday that even when I was 18 months old my dad would rock me to sleep, put me in my crib where I would wake up and then sit in the rocking chair in my room until I fell back asleep just so I was comforted by him being there. As a mom myself I would worry about doing that and creating bad habits but now I am a great sleeper and I have been as long as I can remember.

  My vote is to do what you have to do in order to get through this month. If you're on week 1 or 2 you could have another 2 to 3 weeks of crappy sleep left.

  For the time being just do what you gotta do to get her back down. Don't worry about bad habits forming and just try to get through this period.  It sucks big time, but hopefully it will pass soon for you.

  I could have written this post!  Last night it was every 30 minutes to an hour and I am DYING a slow painful, sleep deprived death.  She wants to nurse then falls asleep then wakes up 30 min later to do it all over again, this time getting pissed that milk is not coming out fast enough. I try to rub her belly and give paci but she will spit it out and press her lips together so that I can't give it again. LOL  I gave up at 4AM and put her in the guest bed with me and we slept til 6AM...that was the longest stretch we got all night so tonight we might start that way.

  Now I understand the super powers of being MOM b/c I have no idea how I am functioning at work!

  It lasted just about 3 weeks with us. I pulled LO into bed with us a couple times, after I got so tired if being up every hour or more. Last Sunday, she cut her first tooth and we are just about back to normal. Bed at 8, wake up to eat at 2-230, right back to sleep til 7. It majorly sucked when she was t sleeping, but it'll pass soon!!!!

  I also want to add that I'm jealous of all of you who had a month or less of sleep regression.  We're already over the 1 month mark, and pedi said it can take a couple months.  :-(

  Sorry guys for multiple post.. My laptop sucks ass! My signature under your quote made me sound like an asshole curlingrocks. What I was typing was that I'm going to pray to baby Jesus for you & I hope there is an end in sight!!!!
