Oh my god I hate standing

[raynes]

Are we seriously screwed for every nap and bedtime from here on out?

Owen figured out how to pull himself up in his crib yesterday and now that's all he wants to do. It's taking close to an hour to get him to fall asleep for 30 minutes!

Will he get over the novelty of this? Or do things just get to suck more now?

For us, it got better. He still pulls up occasionally, but I think he's figured out that we're not going to come get him just because he's standing.

This.

The first couple of times, I showed him how to get down without picking him up, then I stopped coming in just because he was standing

The novelty will eventually wear off. It took about 2 weeks for DD to stop pulling up and taking forever to settle. Now, she only pulls up when she wakes up from her sleep. Good luck!

We went through the same thing ( still going through it). He's started getting more comfortable sitting on his own without it freaking him out. It's getting a little better. I go in when he stands and it escalates to crying then show him how to sit or put him in his sleeping position and soothe/settle him.

Same here. It took a couple weeks but he got back on track with sleeping. Hang in there!

I'm sorry. I know his sleep wasn't very good to begin. I'm not looking forward to when she figures this out.

it gets better. It sucked major ass for a couple of weeks, but once the novelty of it wears off, sleep goes back to normal.

Oh no....I dread this. So sorry raynes, I hope the novelty wears off soon.

Ditto everyone else. We have the same problem, though he has finally learned how to sit himself down. But now he stands at the crib rail and wails away and eventually wakes up DS1. I feel your pain! It does pass, though. My DS1 did the same thing for a couple weeks.

Well, I guess that's good news.
