I don’t know if it’s teething. I don’t know if she’s sick. I don’t know if it’s a growth spurt or developmental thing. All I know is that night has become the worst shit ever.<\/p>\n
Naps she is doing fantastic<\/i>. I put her on her belly and lay down beside her and sing to her and she falls asleep. And she’s sleeping for 1-2 hours. I am so very happy with naps. Even going to bed the first time, I do the same thing and it’s easy as pie.<\/p>\n
It’s when she wakes up that the fun starts. As it has been the past two months it’s usually only an hour later. She wakes up crying, I go in to put her back to sleep the same way I put her to sleep the first time… and she freaks the fuck out<\/i>. Screaming bloody murder. So then I try cuddling her, because that always works. More screaming. I pick her up. Screaming. I walk her around and jiggle her and rock her and shush her and sing to her and she arches her back and screams<\/i>. Last night she did this all night long, even though she was sleeping right next to me. Like literally, I am RIGHT THERE. Even trying nursing her got that reaction half the time; the other half she’d nurse until she was content, try getting up to play, and recommence screaming when I gently layed her back down with me for sleep. (Note: I didn’t try to put her down, I tried to lay down with her in my arms!)<\/p>\n
She is not<\/em> congested. She is<\/em> chewing everything in sight. She is fine if we turn on lights and she can play – but then you end up with massively overtired baby and that is no fun for anyone. She needs to sleep. I<\/i> need her to sleep. I’m still sick, my patience is pretty much gone, tonight I just sat in bed with her and cried along with her. Because I don’t know what to do. Because I don’t know what is wrong. Because I feel like I’m failing her. I just keep reminding myself that it hasn’t always been like this and it won’t always be like this and it’s just the age… the learning new things and the teeth that still haven not shown themselves and the growth spurts and the separation anxiety.<\/p>\n This phase sucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don’t know if it’s teething.
