Im Frusterated Please Help Posted: 10-25-06 14:38pm
Hey ladies. Well, landon is a good baby
dont get me wrong, hes awesome but the
last week or so he wont seem to want to
sleep in his bassanet like, ill feed him
and play with him while hes awake and then
put him down awake and he'll be fine for
like 5 min or so and maybe once a day fall
asleep and b4 he use to fall asleep all
the time on his own. And now he just
screams after like 5 min of being in there
til I pick him up and hold him, and I
tried everything like his diaper is clean
hes full, hes dry, and happy, I just dont
get it cuz hes fine when I put him in
there but not for very long. And at nite
we both pretty much every nite fall asleep
in bed together while I feed him, and if
im awake I put him in his basanett and
he'll sleep. I just am getting really
frusterated, I find I can barley go pee
without him going nuts, let alone get
dressed. Ahh

I have no advice for you. Aly's the same
way.
She's gotten to the point now where she
wants to be held on your chest/shoulder
with you standing up. Sitting down angers
her off, and cradling her angers her off
too.
Some babies are just easier than others I
guess.

Sometimes they just wanna cuddle with you.
That's all.
Don't think that this wont change though.
It *will* get better, I promise.
You don't have to immedietly go run to him
as soon as he cries, as he'll start
relayin crying to immediete attention, ya
know?
This phase doesnt last long at all...Oni
is just starting to fall asleep w/out
being held (well it started again about a
month and a half ago)
so just sleep when he sleeps for now,
lmao. It's the only way I survived!!!!

Logan is going through that stage also.
I'm trying to tidy up etc and he's
crawling around after me screaming to be
picked up. 99% of the time I give in and
pick him up but sometimes I just can't and
he gets p!Ssed bu usually distracts
himself after a few mins.
He won't go to bed without me either but
tonight I put him down at 8pm and left him
there. He cried for 2 mins then was
asleep. I'm so please with myself

Last night (its 7.45 am here) layla
decided she was going to be wide awake at
2am and get up. Obv I couldn't have her
doing that so I gave her milk, water, her
dummy and a cuddly toy then I just left
her to it. She was crying and crying so I
went back to check her and I realised it
was temper.
She was kicking her little legs around and
going mad. I said 'go to sleep darling.
Love you' and didn't go back in. She
screamed for another 10 mins then went
back to sleep!
Shes at the stage now where she thinks she
can get all her own way so I kinda have to
lay the law down

Melia is a good baby and she doesnt' cry a
lot but she will not sleep in her crib.
She is getting too big for her bassanett
but she still wants to sleep in in it. If
I put her in there she will fall asleep
but if I put her in the crib she won't
sleep at all. I think that she is still
too little to let her cry herself to sleep
so I sleep her in her bassanette.

We're pretty much co-sleeping now. We
have to "trick" .Aly into sleeping in her
crib. It doesn't work very often. She
hates being alone.

We co-slept while she was sick. But put
her back in her crib immedietly after.
Since she was about 3 months i've just put
her down and let her self soothe.
She's such a good baby, sometimes it's
hard to believe! The only time I hold her
to feed her is at night. I feed her in
our bed, then transfer her into hers.
Other than that, she only eats in her high
chair. Period.
Ladies, with time, your baba's will do the
same thing. I know hearing them cry is
horrible, but trust, you get used to it!
Hahhaha, i've learned her cries and I know
when she's just fake crying for attention.
It's hilarious sometimes!!
I got her on a strickt schedule at 5
weeks. Which is when she started sleeping
*though* the night!! That 1st night, I
woke up at like 7am and freaked out
because I hadn't heard her!!!! So I ran
in her room and there she was, peaceful as
a dove! Knocked out!!
The ferber method isn't *recommended*
until 6 months. But I started earlier
than that. Waaay earlier. She just sits
there all day long and lets me do what I
have to do. She knows that once i'm done,
it's alll about her!!!
Good luck ladies, and just know that the
misery and sleepless night *will*
end!!!!!!!!!
