Help me...sleep related
I've been having issues getting Lily to sleep at night all of a sudden. It started last week. She'll go to bed like always, lie down like always (after the routine), then after laying there for 15 minutes is up crying throwing everything out of her crib. Sometimes we have gotten her when she's really freaking out. One night we let her cry.  It only lasted 15 minutes. So I cut her naps to 1, which seemed to work 2 of the nights. It's not working again tonight. She's crying in her crib right now. I know she's tired. It's that tired cry. Why is this happening? I don't think she's teething anymore. 4 came in last week/2 weeks ago. Any suggestions? Help please! DH is away and this is very hard. She's laying down again now. I think she'll fall asleep soon, but I can't do this every night.

Thanks, Donna. She's out now. She only cried for 13 minutes. It's just so hard to listen to it. I'm sure you know what I mean. I hope it's just a phase too. I have a feeling Lily is going to be that child who never wants to go to bed - will be calling me in for every reason under the sun.

I would try that if Lily would ever sit still when she watches TV! If it works, I'm all for it. I could definitely see her IM-ing her little LIF boyfriend all night. (of course all innocent IMs) They'd be complaining about their moms on LIF all day.

Thanks. We did let her cry a couple of the nights. It's just so random.  Some nights she'll go down no problem. others it's such a problem. I guess she's just keeping us on our toes. One thing she is not is predictable. Same with wake up time. All week, almost 8 am.  Today, 6:40 am.  And, of course, I had trouble sleeping last night so now I'm  very tired.
