lila has been sitting in her crib, by herself, all night so far. hasn't slept at all. jake and i finally went to bed at like 11:30 and i maybe fell asleep around midnight. i had a headache and was stressed out, took me a while to fall asleep. well, jake got up at like 12:30 and got her out of the crib and asked me to feed her. ???!!! woke me up to do it. so i fed her for like a few minutes, but she didn't even want to eat. she was kind of shocked to be out of the crib. so now she's sitting in the crib by herself. it's 1:15am and she still hasn't slept. i'm miserable. i don't know what to do...
jake said that if she's still not sleeping by 2am we can take her out, but i have no idea. the last thing i want to happen is for her to be up too late tonight and then sleep all day tomorrow and get all screwed up.
this sucks!
The first night is always the roughest of sleep "therapy." And it's tough. Follow your gut instinct. I have let both Katie & Jane cry, but you know the difference between the cries...if she's tired crying or poopy diaper crying. It'll be so worth it once she starts sleeping at night. She'll be happier in the day and so will you. You can do it! You know that co-sleeping isn't working for any of you right now. That's funny that she sat in there not crying for so long...never happened with mine. But I'm sure she's just working it through in her little head. :) And she knows you love her, so don't worry about anything else; that's what matters.
ReplyDeleteAnd tell Jake to keep out of it! :) I would have been furious with Tyler if he got her up for me if she wasn't crying or needing it! She's ok, if she's not sleeping but not crying, I'd say she's ok! She's just figuring it out.
