So my daughter is totally regressing. For awhile there, she was only waking up once a night...then it started to be twice again. Now its 3 times a night!!! This has been going for over a month now (well, the twice a night has been over a month, the 3 times is new). I'm so tired!!!

Also, the ONLY thing that gets her back to sleep is a bottle. Which is great timing since I'm planning on getting rid of her bottles in the upcoming weeks.

I know she's learning new things and stuff but I thought this might be a few days, not more than a month of agitated sleep.

I really don't know what to do. I'm terrible at letting her cry. Especially in the middle of the night when all I want to do is get back to sleep myself. I feel bad "training" her to sleep through the night when she is learning so much and teething and who knows what else. But at the same time, I'm never going to know when the time is right, unless she just starts doing it herself.

I also want to start transitioning her into her own room, when she gets one in a month. Before I was thinking I could make her crib into a toddler bed next to our mattress, and once she is used to that, then move it into her own room. I'm still going to try but I don't feel so hopeful anymore now that her sleep is so messed up. I know it can change at anytime, but sheesh, its been going on for so long now and I keep waiting for it to get better and its just getting worse.

Its so bizarre, days are amazing. She is so happy and doing so many new things. Nights are terrible. I thought the two usually go together, but doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Anyone else going through this?

Oh, yes. Off and on for quite a while, although we never got down to one night waking. The best we've ever done was a phase where there were usually 3 but once in a rare while might get lucky and only have 2. Then Juliana got to where she's going through so many milestones, plus teeth #5 and #6 are coming through at the same time, and we're back to anywhere from 4-7 night wakings being the norm. I'm tired, too!

Ethan has never slept through a whole night and I've NEVER gone without at least 3 wakings. *Sigh*. So I'm not much help for you sorry! Just that I sympathize with you!

I was lurking today and came across this. I thought of you immediately. It might give you some hope!

I've been thinking about a toddler bed, too. We were sleeping on a mattress on the floor but finally decided to put our bed back together and we put her crib next to our bed, side-car style (it wasn't meant to be side-carred but DH made it that way). The problem is, I can't get her to sleep in the crib at all because the crib is too low and she wakes up when we try to put her in it. So she ends up sleeping in our bed, with the crib acting essentially as a bedrail, but then we just build up a bunch of pillows and blankets on the other side. Also, I have about a 6" spot that I have to squeeze through to get into bed. It's not a great situation. I like having Juliana in bed with us because she wakes up so much, but if last night's STTN starts to be a trend or if we can get down to just 1 night waking, I'm probably going to switch her to a toddler bed next to our bed.

Eli's up around 2 or 3 every night to nurse still. He slept through the night a few times in his life, but I'm just thanking the Lord that's he's not as bad as Bella was. She was still waking until she was 2. I was a TIRED Mama with her. It was horrible. I hope it gets better for you soon.
