He looks all cute and innocent but once darkness falls, the crying starts! It's not just before bed either, he will wake up every 2 hours some nights! He was so good until he hit 3 months. What happened, you ask? Good question, if you figure it out let me know! This mamma needs/loves her sleep. I am also a cranky sleeper, I tend to snap at Justin in the middle of the night. Example Friday night, early Saturday morning (3 a.m.) Justin was being nice and took Carter out to try to get him back to sleep. I could still hear the boy crying, so, annoyed at this point, I get out of bed and try to take Carter back, Justin won't give Carter up and I mumble under my breath, "it's not like you get up or hear him when he cries multiple times through out the night. So just go back and sleep through all of this like you normally do." Not my shiniest of moments. I felt really bad in the morning, but I tend to snap in the middle of the night. We have been trying everything, rice cereal in his bottle, feeding him more than normal, letting him sleep in our bed, letting him cry (he can and will cry for an hour straight) you name it, we've tried it. I am praying this is going to come to an end soon. I am also hoping that my this means he will be an angel of a child when he is older! I deserve something for going a month with no sleep!
I think I comment on almost everything you post, ha. Oh man, the 3/4-month sleep regression; it's miserable. I don't know why (I don't think anyone knows why), but the only advice that worked for me was: go to bed as soon as you lay your baby down for the night, even if it's 7:00 or earlier, and nap when they nap during the day (and let the house go to heck). I wasn't sleeping through the night, but doing those two things made it a little better.
