STTN to 1-2hrs?!!!??!

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

My DD has STTN from about 8 weeks.  I'd feed her a final time around 9pm, give her a bath, she'd chat or we'd read a book until she got fussy, then I'd swaddle and put her in her cosleeper and fold laundry or pick up the room until she fell asleep.

 

The past month or so she has been waking 1-2 times per night, and I either pat and give her the paci or she wakes for a feeding.  I just figured growth spurt.

 

Saturday night she fussed every 5-10 minutes, never waking, from about 4am to 8am when she'd wake all smiles.  Same for Sunday night, only starting around 2am.  Both nights we were visiting grandparents and I figured she'd go back to normal at home.

 

At home she is fussing every 1-2 hours and the only way I can get her to stop is nurse her.  I'm exhausted.  I cant seem to get a comfy side latch since my milk has regulated so no sleep nursing for me.  She breaks out of the swaddle in 1 minute flat while she fusses so we got a Wombie but she just sucks her fingers through it making it cold and wet.  If her arms aren't contained somehow she wacks her face and makes everything worse. 

 

My DH is sleeping now and is taking her on a nice long walk later so I can have a nap. 

 

Any suggestions?  She WAS such a great little sleeper!

 

Thank You!

Are you in the 4 month range? If so, you may be dealing with the 4 month sleep regression. So horrible.

Yes!  She just turned 4mos on Friday.  Thank you for mentioning it.
