Whyyyyy

TJHineTJHine member
in November 2013 Moms
Why is my kid waking up at 4 everyday, after waking up every 2 hours at night and sleeping less than 8 hours total? This is not healthy, and I'm going to lose it. That is all. This is more of a vent than advice seeking, but if you have advice I will take it!

    I've got some sleep issues overe here too, so I can relate. Hope it improves soon (for both of us).
    Can't figure out the signature thing, so here's the short, short version.....first daughter born on November 10, 2013. She was conceived through the magic of IVF after 2+ years of TTC.

    Big hugs, when does he sleep?

    I think you need to institute newborn law and sleep when he sleeps.

    Last night was 8-4. I went to sleep at 9:30...but he woke up for the first
    Time at 9:45

    I just talked to a friend that is a spots partum doula - I'm such a moron because duh he's sick and should have made the connection. But anyway, she said it's really normal when they are sick and even when they feel better to regress for a bit. Tiredness is making me an irrational person!

    Hope he feels better soon and you both can get some sleep. In the meantime, make a strong pot of coffee and indulge. For you, not him ;-)

    That sucks, I'm sorry. Have you tried putting him to bed a little earlier? Maybe that will help him at least sleep longer stretches. Maybe even putting in a sound machine, too. I hope you get some good sleeps this weekend.

    I actually tried at 7. It did not go well!

    @TJHine, my ped suggested to regulate our LO's naps.  Basically, not letting him nap after 4pm was his suggestion.  Have you tried adjusting his naps?

    I don't let him sleep after 4 either, and he doesn't usually nap more than 3 hrs total if that in a day. Thank you for the suggestion!

    We went through this with Bradley for awhile...it got better for a bit, and then went downhill again until just recently. What made the biggest difference for us was weaning him from the last nighttime nursing session at bedtime...in hindsight, I just don't think BM was filling him up and he was waking up hungry every 2-3 hours. Once I started giving him a formula bottle at night (about 2 weeks ago) instead of nursing, he immediately started STTN. 


    I believe(?) you're still nursing, and don't know if you've intro'ed formula or if that is an option for you, but it might be something to consider. Even if you still nurse throughout the day but just do a nighttime bottle, it might help. No pressure, just a thought:) 
    I would totally not be opposed to it, except that he refuses to take a bottle. And he barely drinks anything from a sippy either!

    Lack of sleep is no joke! Sorry you are going through this :( I don't think I have any great advice - but little things like is he warm/cool enough? Hungry? Teething? Sometimes in the middle of the night or before bedtime I forget about those little things and JUST WANT HIM TO GO TO SLEEP. Hang in there mama - you are doing awesome. Some advice my sister gave me when my little guy was sucking at naps was the 234 plan. 2 hours after he wakes up in the morning he goes down for a nap, then when he wakes up, 3 hours later goes down for a nap, then when he wakes up from that, 4 hours later goes to bed. I was totally missing cues for when he needed to nap so following this slightly seemed to help. It isn't exactly to the minute, just a general idea. Big hugs!!

    Thanks lady. Still didn't go down well until 8:30 - tried at 7ish. Up every 1 1/2-2 hrs. But at least he slept until 5:30 today instead of 4:30! Thanks! My mom is coming today and tomorrow during the day to help out so I can rest.
    All the naps to you! Glad she's able to come help you!
