We have hit a wall, and I knew this would happen. Ottavia's sleeping through the night from 12-14 hours has come to an end with night waking and needing a feeding, or just needing to see us and also hardly any naps during the day....
Now i'm not looking for the " I told you so" opinion on this one cause honestly every parent has there own way of doing things...
So here goes, I've read happiest baby on the block, the baby whisperer, baby wise, healthy sleep habits happy child, and the 12 step sleep book....yup i've read it all
Going down at night is not at all a problem and never has, Ottavia goes to sleep at night with no problem, we have a routine, she knows when its bedtime and out like a light, and until one week ago tonight she has been waking up between 2-4 for a feed. This is not a growth spurt, and I know she can go without this feed, or she wakes up every hour needing her soother....so here is our plan....Tonight i'm letting her cry, no consoling, turning off the monitor, shutting our door and letting all hell break loose...I'm totally doing it, she's so cute i love her she loves me...but I"m DONE..i'm tired, I'm cranky and I will not let this go on another day. I'm hoping by thursday she gets herself sorted out.
Now, i'm being quite ambitious here, we are also starting our nap routine tomorrow, she has not been a great napper in her crib, and these few 20 minute snoozes are not cutting it either...its a catch 22, more sleep..the better they sleep so this week i'm staying put and getting this acomplished...wish me luck....
