Me (Lack of Sleep) = Me (Sick) :(

[Anonymous]

The past few days Katelyn has been sleeping HORRIBLE. We’re talking getting up and crying every 30 minutes to an hour. Two nights of this has left my immune system vulnerable and I am now sick. 🙁

All I want to do is sleep.. and I feel like I am NEVER going to be allowed to sleep. It’d be one thing if there was some consistency but I NEVER know what I am going to get with Katelyn. Sometimes she’ll go 5 hours and then every 3 hours (I dont mind) and then others .. it’s just horrible.

I really don’t know how to make her more comfortable. She’s in her swing and swaddled! I can’t seem to make any sort of association with longer sleep. What works one night doesn’t work the next!

Ugh. Sorry for the ramble. I do not feel well!

I’m really sorry. That is so horrible. I can say that I know what you are going through. You just described my son. The only thing consistent is that he is consistently inconsistent.
I know what you mean. One night Eli will sleep good and I get hopeful then the next night he will be up every hour and take one 20 min nap during the day. It’s ridiculous. We have tried everything too, just like you have. Sometimes you feel like you’d rather just know they never are gonna sleep well then be fooled by them sleeping good one night then horrible the next. It makes you so disappointed. I’m sorry you are sick. My husband, myself and son all had colds. No fun:( One day this will all be behind us, I just wish we knew when.

I hear you. I do. Have you tried babywearing? this SAVED us. ALL. of us, including my husband and the baby sitter (when he was past the initial shrieking/howling 24/7 phase)…
