Oh what a shitty night. As usual, went to bed great the first time. Woke up and cried when I put her back down. Wanted to play. Ended up playing in the dark on the bed while I sat in the middle of the room. When she finally got tired I tried putting her to sleep BUT she apparently wasn’t happy with my patting and singing… she’d get almost asleep and then jolt awake crying. Happened enough times that she turned into the over-tired sleep monster. There was hyperactive playing at 11pm. And then once we took her to bed and nursing actually managed to get her to sleep, she woke up frequently, kicking and squirming and crying. Way over-tired. Oh, and plus since we slept in our room she woke up at 6:30 ready to play.<\/p>\n
So apparently what I’m taking away from this is that there is a certain point where I need to give up and not try to get her to sleep without the old habits….. avoid the overtired monster at all costs. I just don’t know what to do when she gets like that… wanting to play and not sleep. Without holding her and nursing her, how the hell do you get a baby to sleep if they don’t think they’re tired? (But they ARE!) Plus the husband kept saying she’s not tired, let her play. Yeah, no. She’s OVER-tired.<\/p>\n
Fuck man. We’re so tired. I’m just waiting for her to crash so I can put her down again and I can get more sleep. :\/ I just want to start crying again. I don’t know how to do this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
