Rough night!

We usually put Adeliya down at 800 almost every night. She drank her 6 oz bottle before she went to bed and so she usually wakes up at about 3 or 330-ish in the am. I feel asleep at the dinner table. LITERALLY! Lawrence had to almost carry me to bed, he tucked me in at 820 and I fell asleep. But was awaken at 11!! By Adeliya!! WTH?!!?!

So DF makes her a 6oz bottle, and she wolfs it down. All you heard was gulping. Im not sure she even breathed during the feeding! So, when she was done, I put her back in her crib, and fell back to sleep. All of us. Then....WAAAHHHH!!! I jump thinking someone is hurting her!!! And I look at the time.....300am!

WTH?? Again?!?!?!!?!?! So I go and make her another 6oz bottle. Wolfs it down the same! I put her back, and doze off. Then BAM!!!!!!!!! 6am! Guess whos up!!!!!!!!!!!

The one and only Adeliya Dianne! Groggy DF goes and makes her yet ANOTHER bottle, and she takes it all. Goes BACK to sleep and woke up at 9. I layed in bed half awake while she watched Sesame Street and Elmo's World and lazily crawled out of bed.

What is going on?!?! Growth spurt???

GROWTH SPURT!!!

We had a similar night. He didn't get up and down all night, but he was STARVING at bedtime... I think he ate too much and so he puked all over me, which kept him up an extra 2 hours! I think our kiddos are having their 9 month growth spurt a month late!

I'd say growth spurt as well. Elizabeth has been doing this the last couple weeks.... its pretty annoying but I know its a phase and it'll pass... I HOPE! Good luck Melba. Be thankful Lawrence is willing to get up with her some too! My DH doesn't AT ALL!

Sounds like a growth spurt. I hope it passes quickly for you. I'm also envious of you because your dh gets up, mine doesn't either. He's nudged me sometimes if I don't get up quickly enough, but that's about it.

He knows I have her all day and would like some help at times, so he pitches in.

He has never nudged me to get up with her. He knows he will get my foot up his &!? if he does. Im usually the first one up when she cries and then I turn on the hallway light which in turn wakes him up. He changes her diaper while I get her bottle, so by the time I walk back to the bedroom, she is waiting for her bottle.

I hope this passes soon. I love her growing, but not 3 times a night.

Definately sounds like a growth spurt. Mac wakes up more for feeding at night when she is going through them. Hopefully this passes in a few days.

On the other hand, it could be that she is adjusting to her new crib. When she wakes up, you should try giving her a paci or just soothing her first, she might surprise you and just go back to bed.
