Short vent about sleeping (or not)


Jake was doing SO well sleeping through the night for so long that I think we forgot we were supposed to have sleepless nights. But he has generously decided to remind us for the last few weeks. Our darling boy has been waking up at 2 a.m. wanting (nay, demanding!) a bottle. It usually takes me 30 minutes to feed him and get him back down - but it is getting worse and this morning I was up until 3:15. Doing the math, after listening to him cough until 4) I got about 4 1/2 hours of sleep last night (so pardon any typos). We are going to try to figure out how to teach him to sooth himself to sleep in the night so I can feed him (if needed) and put him back down. Also, I honestly think it's a day care issue (he was doing great at Lisa's!) that they are not feeding him enough and letting him sleep too much. I am going to try putting him down for naps this weekend in his crib (instead of holding him) and see if we can get him to nap 1) unswaddled and 2) a reasonable amount of time. Wish me luck!


Had to post this just because I can't post without a picture!
