Sleep Izzy Sleep

Well it is midnight and I am up listening to Izzy cry! I don't get it one night she will sleep great, 13 hours straight and then other nights like tonight she is up and only wants to sleep on me or DH so we have to let her cry it out. It is so hard! I immediately think when she wakes up that oh maybe her mouth hurts(since she has had her top 4 teeth trying to come in for the last several weeks) so after one try of trying to rock her back down I go back up give her motrin and origel, and rock her again, after that then I let her cry it out. Then I think, as I am listening ot her cry, maybe her ears hurt and she has an ear infection..........but I think it is probably just seperation anxiety.

I just don't get why babies go through phases she will have good couple months of sleeping good, then she gets sick and it screws it up and now she isn't sick but from what I have read/heard it is probably seperation anxiety that she doesn't want to be by herself...................

I niavely thought that once they started sleeping through the night they just always did.......boy was I wrong!

Oh and DH, is snoring through it all!!! I have the monitor turned to lights only but you can still hear her crying from our room! I don't know how he does i! She is still at it, it has been almost 15 minutes....this is when I start to second guess myself and tell myself, maybe her ears do hurt, should i call dr in the morning and take her in for them to look at her....well i guess we will see what tomorrow brings. Tomorrow night she is sleeping at nana and grandpa's house....i hope she is better for them than she is for us tonight!!!! Time for me to go back to bed and try to go back to sleep.

Oh and on a total side note, it is totally snowing right now and we are supposed to get 3 to 5 inches over night...I AM SO SICK OF WINTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS MARCH 27-28th ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!

Oh.... thank gawd I'm not the only one enduring this!!!

Have you tried playing a CD during the night? I think (but who knows) it helps Monkey Girl self soothe back to sleep. But then again, I haven't got a freaking clue.

Sorry, no other suggestions, just welcoming you to the Frustrated Mother Whose Toddler Wont Sleep Consistantly Through The Night Club. Something tells me we aren't the only members!

Lily is the same way. A champion sleeper most nights, but twice last week, she was awake for TWO HOURS during the night. I'd rock her and put her back and she'd cry. Finally, I just let her cry it out. I hated it, but it got to the point where I was a toy, you know? She just wanted to play, and mommy wasn't having it! :)
