Brutal

Our darling little boy has not been sleeping well. Every nap, every night, he screams and cries and fights sleep. He doesn't want to be held, he doesn't want to be put in the crib by himself. He won't fall asleep in the stroller, in the car, in a baby carrier. I don't think he wants to be swaddled, but he absolutely can't fall asleep or stay asleep without it, so he has to be. He eventually will fall asleep at night, when he is exhausted because he has barely slept all day. It is generally exhausting. This is the revenge for Noah not having colic and not crying that much previously. Something like this happened once before when he was about 3 months old, and he eventually stopped that, so I hope he will stop this soon....hopefully before Mom and Kristy come, or else we will lose precious baby-sitters.

  1. Hopefully this will be just a passing phase!! I feel like Avery and Oliver both went through funny sleep issues around 6 mos. And when they didn't get good sleep during the day, it made nighttime sleep that much worse! It's so hard when your baby is SO tired and they're literally fighting to stay awake. I mean, if someone told me it was time for bed and that I could sleep as long as I'd like, I'd take advantage of the situation. But apparently these babies haven't gotten that memo yet.
    Good luck with it; it'll pass and Noah will be a walking toddler before you know it.
