Very tired today. Isabelle is having sleep issues. All my other children were fairly good sleepers and the one who wasn't, we realized, ( through the Dr. Ferber sleep book) that she had become used to being rocked to sleep. So after a week of crying it out, she was 100% cured and I never had another probelm.
With Isabella, who is 7 1/2 mos. old, I have tried just about everything to get her to sleep and she will not hear of it! I nursed on demand, for the first several months, to rigid scheduling, sleeping with her, sleeping without her. Oh and did I forget to mention, she does not take naps. Well, little ones, two to be exact. Fifteen minutes each. Yes, just enough time to rest her voice box! She now pretty much rules the roost with her up and down schedule and her fiesty attitude. She'll probably grow up to be the dictator of a small Latin American Country.
What gets me is the up and down behavior. For a couple of weeks she only woke once at 3:30 and then at 6:30. I thought I had died and gone to heaven! Well Heaven was short lived. She now wakes at around 1:30 and nurses off and on for the rest of the night. Well maybe someday. So until then I being the horrible mother that I am, will on occasion give her a dose of Benadryl, per the doc., just to get a straight 4 hours. Yes, she does not even sleep well drugged!
Well, time to go catch a few winks before the rooster crows!
