Go to sleep!

For the last few days, Max has NOT wanted to go to sleep. We've tried everything - putting him to be earlier, later, feeding more, nursing him to sleep, rocking, co-sleeping, let him cry a bit, etc. He's been waking at night and early in the morning. He's also gnawing on everything, so I'm sure teething is partly to blame. I think I saw somewhere that with his added mobility the separation anxiety is kicking in & he doesn't want to sleep when he could be crawling around. So, all that nice routine of rocking him til he was sleepy & putting him down for him to go to sleep by himself is all lost for now. :-) hopefully this will pass soon...

Ugh. We are going through the same thing with Megan. You are not alone.

Side Note: Megan has decided that she is going to skip crawling, and is instead, going straight to walking. :\

we're there with you. Megan is very anti-sleep these days. I feel like we're having to start all over again. we're hoping this is just a phase and will pass. but it really is tough to have to get up in the night just when you were getting used to sleeping again! hang in there!!!
