Sleep issues...anyone else?

[gmoneymommy]

G has never slept through the night. Not once since he was born. He had begun stretching to waking only every 4-5 hours, but in the past few days, he's been waking every 2 hours again and is inconsolable until I nurse him. He is teething again and just cut his 8th tooth today. Last time he was teething, he was still consistently waking every 2 hours, so I don't know if it messed with his sleep last time at all. We have also had company since before Christmas. I have a feeling it's just one of these things or a combo, but dear God I am tired. We worked so hard on sleep training, and I feel like we are back at square one. Anyone else?

A has STTN forever, but the last 2 weeks have been hell. She's up right now. I'm guessing it's a bit of a growth spurt, but it's a PITA

No sleeping through the night here, not ever. It will get better! H was a terrible sleeper and can now sleep through baby cries and the dog stomping on her.

Same here. Last night he was up crying at 10pm, 1pm, and 3am (fed him then) and up for the day at 5.15. Kill me now. I hope to God it's a growth spurt or teething or some such.

She's up now, I can gaurantee she'll be up at 3 and then again at 630. It's been this way for a week. I am UN amused. I start back to work on Monday and am yet to have my "restful" break

Yup, major issues here. We've never STTN, but we had worked our way down to just one or two wake ups. Then the week before christmas he got a cold and started waking up more. He's over the cold, but his sleep has been getting progressively worse. The last two nights have been terrible, at one point he was waking up every 25 minutes. I don't know if maybe he's finally teething, or if this is a developmental thing. He'd already woken up twice by 9:00 tonight, so I finally gave him some tylenol, and we're going to see if that helps. The crazy thing is he's been napping really well during the day, probably since he's sleeping so crappy at night.

Glad to know I'm not alone, but sorry you all are going through it too. Hopefully it's just a phase we'll all get through soon!!

D reverted to every 2-3 hours for about 3-4 weeks. It stopped the night her top tooth broke through. Hang in there.

I don't know if it's her cold or a growth spurt, but Zoe wants the boob all night long and she cries all pissed off when she loses it at night.

Teething baby waking up a lot here as well - hopefully things get better soon!

Ds has never ever sttn either. I'm so used to getting up every few hours I don't think I could sttn even if he did.

I hope this is what is going on with us!! Since Christmas Sam has been waking 3+ times a night including not going to bed until 9 or later and waking at 6 :/

She used to be an amazing sleeper!

Mine sttn I think three times. Three magical nights.

She's gotten better, for periods of time she will wake only 1-2 times which is awesome. But then anything like travel, sickness, tooth etc screws it all up. Last night she woke maybe 4 times but its been far worse a few nights recently.

She also has been napping crappy, only short naps from which she wakes crying and clearly still tired, but won't go back to sleep.
