Hello!
I recently posted this (something similar), but wanted to re-post since the problem has changed somewhat.
Our 5 month old DD has been having problems sleeping lately (I know, comes with the territory). She will sleep for 2-3 hours then wake up, usually when we go to bed, and then we can't get her back to sleep for another 2 hours. We'll feed her, rock her, hold her, etc, until she's completely asleep. But once we put her down in her crib, she'll wake up and it starts all over. She sleeps in her own room now, and has been for a few weeks. Once we finally gets back to sleep, she'll sleep a decent chunk (3-5 hours) eat once or twice more, then decide she's ready for the day at 6-6:30am (even though she's obviously tired).
We've tried pushing her bedtime later, having the sitter not let her sleep past 3pm for naps, teething tablets, tylenol, gas drops, co-sleeping... all to no avail. We never did co-sleeping with her except when she was having a really hard time sleeping, so she's not really used to it. Plus, she likes to sleep on her tummy, which doesn't really work in bed with us.
Has anyone else gone through this or have any suggestions?
Thanks for your help and support!!
