DD has been acting like a bi-polar child lately, giggling one minute and throwing a tantrum the next! For the older babies on this board, how long did this phase last??
On a happier note, DD learned the sign for "all done." It's pretty adorable.
I'm not dealing with tantrums, just sleep disruptions. For the last two months she has been doing so well with sleep - great naps in the crib and STTN. For the last week and a half she's regressed back to waking up at 11:30 pm and not wanting to be in her crib through the night. I started pulling her back in bed with me and nursing her for comfort and I feel like we're back where we started again. She's also giving me terrible naps in her crib - no morning nap and 40 minutes in the afternoon, if we're lucky. But she'll sleep just fine if I'm holding her. I don't remember this phase with my other kids.
Ugh yes for the past week he has wanted to be held all day and screams every time I put him down or leave the room. He is always like that to an extent, but right now it's worse than ever! Please let this phase pass soon!
This is us right now, and I can't wait for week 55 to be over. A few nights ago, DS woke up every 30 min, no exaggeration. DH and I agreed that it felt as though we had regressed to the newborn period. On the other hand, DS is a lot more cuddly (when he isn't tantrum-y) and has more "skills" than before.
Ugh, we are here! DS hasn't had too many issues in the sleeping department (but I bet he will now that I said that!) but he's been SO CRANKY. He cries for me with arms outstretched - I pick him up - he squirms to get down - I put him down - he SCREAMS! What the heck? Totally hoping this passes soon, I miss my happy guy! Glad I'm not the only one
