It seems that since we've returned from Brazil Chloë decided she will no longer follow any kind of good sleeping habits..she was having some small issues before, waking up a few more times than usual a little hungrier, but nothing I couldn't handle. But last night I was just so exhausted, I actually thought--meh..let's start ferberizing the kid right now, 3am, bring it on! For those of you not familiar with Dr. Ferber, do google the man...you'll either love him or hate him. I hate that I don't love him..
Chloë's night:
Bed at 7:45pm
Wakes up crying, shrieking, screaming at 12:58am
After trying to console her in every other way other than nursing, I finally give in and offer her the boob--she happily eats and falls asleep at 1:45am
More crying, more of a whimpering cry at 3:08am
Wait it out until 3:15am when it becomes a definite shriek like cry
Nurse her and she falls asleep at 4:15am at which point I go to bed thinking, ohhh goodie, she'll sleep in now.
Wrong.
6am, she's up again. I nurse her, she falls back asleep at 6:30am.
By 7:20am when she wakes up again, I decide we're now up for the day...
