It's 5 AM, and DH and I haven't slept yet! We tried to get DS down at 8:30, and it took until 11:15 for him to fall asleep. Then he woke up inexplicably around 1 AM and just fell back asleep now at 5AM. What the hell is going on?? There is no real explanation for it either. He got about 13 hours total sleep yesterday which is decent for him. So he shouldn't be over tired. He took one long nap (2 1/2 hours) but he was up by 3:30, so not that late. 8:30 is actually early bedtime for him, because he usually doesn't fall asleep until at least 9:00. He wasn't crying all this time he was awake. He doesn't seem to be teething or sick. He was just wide awake. My DH is joking that DS must really be a vampire since he's nocturnal.
And no, we haven't started sleep training yet. This is with his normal, comfortable sleep conditions! (Nursing to sleep and sleeping in our bed). I feel like when we finally start trying to get him to sleep in his crib he will just stay up all night. I'm beginning to wonder if he has a medical problem. Ok, I'm just kidding. Kinda. This sleeping thing is a huge reason why I'm not ready to TTC #2 yet, if ever!
Re: Worst night ever!
Good luck and I hope all goes well tonight!
