Why am i up this early!!!!

Why isnt dd sleeping.. shes now been up since 2am and refusing to sleep. Im really tempted to give her a bottle, but i know thats just shooting myself in a foot. I gave her tylenol hoping that would solve the problem and nope.. ackkkkk

Re: Why am i up this early!!!!

Are you going through CIO?

Re: Why am i up this early!!!!

no clue what it is. she just woke up whinning, usualy just giving her pacifier sooths her. But not tonight, i caved and giving bottle, b/c she was no longer whinning and now crying... im not good with CIO.

Re: Why am i up this early!!!!

I totally stink at CIO. DS was sleeping through the night very early and I know I'm very lucky.

If DS wakes during the night I have typically fed him. (Although, if he's slightly whining I try to rub his belly/back to go back to sleep) I still BF and figure a 20 minute feeding is much better than him whining every 30 minutes for food. I noticed DS started doing this when he started to sprout a tooth. Can this be the case?

Re: Why am i up this early!!!!

BIG possiblity.. i mentioned yesterday to my father that her cheeks are red and excessive drooling, and i wondered if its getting close. Shes been teething for awhile now, shes had drool but yesterday it was ALOT and cheeks never been so red.

I also had started pears on Thursday and its been making her go, so not sure if its that too. Shes now in a clean diaper and had a 4 oz bottle. so hopefully that does the trick.

I normally would not like to give her bottle b/c shes now formula fed and just not necessary at night. If bfed still then i would gladly give her.

Re: Why am i up this early!!!!

If this is not normal, I would help her. Like I said, DS was always a great sleeper. He got sick, then as he was getting over it, about 2 weeks after starting his cold, his first tooth appeared. (Although I felt it on my breast for about a month.)

Personally, I was fine getting up once or twice in the middle of the night for 20 minutes to feed. If that's a crime, then arrest me.

Re: Why am i up this early!!!!

She just passed out in her bouncy seat watching wiggles.. im going to give her a few mins then transfer her back to her crib.

I think she had a tummy ache. She gave a big diaper, then had bottle and that was what she wanted.

Knew it had to be something. Shes a very laid back baby, and doesnt complain unless it is something.

Re: Why am i up this early!!!!

That's the exact reason that I feel weird doing the CIO when DS is usually good and is still relatively young. May you get some sleep tonightt!!!

Re: Why am i up this early!!!!

Hope you both are back to sleep by now!!
