Okay~sleep advice this way!!! T is not taking good naps. She won''t sleep in the swing any more and when I get her to sleep and head to put her in her crib she either screams or pops her eyes wide open and smiles. If, on the rare occasion, I do get her down in her crib she sleeps for MAYBE a half hour and wakes in an absolute terror. Her reflux has been pretty bad these past couple days (of course, since we saw the doc) and her teeth seem to be bothering her. She is tugging at her ears, chewing on everything and drooling like a mad woman. Is it possible that she just isn''t sleeping sound because she doesn''t feel good? Part of me wants to let her CIO but I really do think something must be hurting her. What should I do? Two weeks ago I was all worried abou the swing and now I''d give ANYTHING for her to take a good swing nap! Kids!
Hey lili, I am not sure if there''s anything wrong with that. Amelia flip flops on the "EASY" method throughout the day and it works fine for her. In the morning, it''s Eat, then her physical therapy, then nap. Then she wakes up and it''s activity, then a bottle, then a tiny bit more activity (or not, depending on time) then sleep. Before bedtime, it''s always bottle before sleep.Date: 7/6/2008 12:34:22 AM

Bummer about the SS not franchising in your province.
Maybe in the near future?
You still have a good half a year left before your maternity leave is over
That''s so cute about Co wanting to talk and look around when he''s feeding.
J does that if I try feeding her after she wakes up.
Instead of eating, she''ll be looking at me and cooing and smiling.
Most time, she''ll be so tired and hungry that nothing can distract her from the boob.
Yeah, it''s a habit that I''m trying to break -- falling asleep on the boob.
She''s got the EASY method all backward -- Activity, Eat followed by Sleep immediately.
I don''t and have never swaddled her.
Tried to when she was born, but she''s kept grunting and couldn''t sleep.
So I never tried after that.
Jas, I''m not sure if you remember, but Amelia went through what sounds like exactly the same thing twice in a month (for two days at a time). I asked the doc about it and he had no answers...just said if it went away, it''s nothing to worry about and babies go through all kinds of phases. For Amelia, I gave her an extra feed at night (as she was screaming for dear life as well and nothing else worked) and paci''d her a lot during the other wakings. I''m still stumped, but I attribute it to a growth spurt since she grew an inch and a half last month.Date: 7/5/2008 12:18:05 PM

speaking of sleep--i am finally getting some of it and now Cohen is not. I can''t win. He was up 4 times last night--i can''t seem to pinpoint why. One of the 4 wake-ups he screamed for dear life and i gave in and fed him, but the other times i didn''t feed him, just re-swaddled and gave a little cuddle. I am wondering if he is just waking himself up? He is pretty fixated on his hands right now and they are constantly in his face or mouth, maybe he gets them free at night and bops himself in the face? Any ideas moms?
