back to work and sleep sucking?

She's catching up. It's called reverse cycling.

Ah, she missed you! Hopefully it will even out eventually but sometimes kids just have bad nights.

Normal. You'll adjust and she'll adjust. It probably took us about a month or so to get used to things and get into a new routine (that included going to bed by 8:30pm at the latest in order to get decent sleep).

I thought this involved eating a lot though. Because she was just sort of nibbling for 5 minutes then falling asleep.

This is what almost 7-month-old DD does. Still. Every night. She started doing it right after I went back to work at 3 months. I won't tell you how many times I was up last night. She doesn't take a bottle well (she at 5.5 oz yesterday between dropoff at 10 am and when I got home at 8 pm), though, so I don't feel like we can sleep train since she does actually eat once or twice overnight.

Hopefully your baby adjusts better than mine.

This really is normal. Her routine is all out of whack. DS actually slept GREAT his first few weeks of daycare and then it all went to hell in a handbasket lol. I think it took him a while to realize that his routine had officially changed for the long haul ha. so after about 3 weeks his sleep got screwed up. I am not going to lie, it took about a month, 6 weeks for him to regulate again, and even now he gets up once or twice a night (he was STTN for 10 hours at a stretch) to eat, but overall its so much better.

OMG!!!! I don't know how you are surviving. Luckily I am off work today so I'm just fine right now. DD is eating well during the day - at least an ounce an hour and I think she would eat even more if encouraged. I am trying to weigh that encouraging her to eat more during the day will likely mean supplementing soon vs my own sanity.

LOL, I'm surviving, but I'm not sure that I'm fully functioning anymore. I was doing fine until about a week ago, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I think DH is going to try to take over tonight so I can get some sleep, which will probably be a disaster because DD wants my boob instead of him, but at least I won't feel as bad if she's screaming while he's holding her.
