As I am typing this on my phone, my DD is having a grand ol' time in her crib ( not sure why she's happy this night-she usually is fussy- she is HYPER right now!!). It is 11 pm and i put her down at 8:30. I'm trying to start putting her down earlier–her nighttime sleep issues were not that bad until a few nights ago when she started waking at 4:30 am and wouldn't go back to sleep until I nursed her and laid her back in her crib. Last nigjt and right now, she slept for 30 minutes (like her naps), and woke up at 9:00 raring to go. And thus it is now 11 pm and she's bouncing and babbling. Our sleeping arrangements is where she is sharing a room with us but in her own crib. We are not able to give her a separate room right now.
These little episodes are driving me nuts! I just paid for a membership and was looking at a few of the ebook sections, but with all that is going on, I think I need a little more personable help. At least to nip this in the bud and get this under control so I can really work on her schedule.
Oh, and she just discovered how to grind her teeth which is worse than fingernails on a chalkboard or styrofoam rubbing together! Grrrr!!!!!
How do i keep her from thinking that bedtime is naptime and that when she wakes up after her first sleep cycle, it is time to go back to sleep rather than play?
