Old Habits
So, Kaci got her shots on the 13th. They told me that she might be a little "off". Well, she is a lot "off". Her sleep schedule is all messed up now. The night before last she woke up at 12:30 am and then again at 4:00 am. Last night she woke up at 3:00am and then cried until I brought her in bed with me. I finally had to just get up because she is so squirmy wormy that I couldn't sleep. So, we came downstairs, changed poopies, and ate breakfast. Hmmm. I hope these old habits cease immediately.

Kirsten,
ReplyDeleteJust a suggestion, but maybe try havin' a bottle--or at least a pacifier--as close to prepared as possible and have Hubby run in and get it as soon as she starts to stir and pop it right in her mouth before she gets all the way awake-- and then start prayin' it works! But, it can help at least kinda keep her half way in that sleep cycle til she gets past this hump, ya know? Or, it may be time to increase her amount by an ounce or so, assuming she isn't up to 8 oz yet. But,offer the pacifier and have her wait as close to an hour as possible after she gets hungry so she'll drink more and not need a bottle as soon as usual. As long as there are no formula issues, the best trick of all is just to keep 'em as full as possible!
Hope that helps!
The above suggestion is a great one. I also want to suggest that she could be going through another growth spurt. Remember I told you that she could start waking more often if she's going through one? Just be patient, I know it's draining. Especially when she did so well for so many days in a row. She'll do well again. :o)
