Youa re right in the thick of it now- hang on in there, I promise it wil start to get better very, very soon.<br /><br />And this is NOT YOUR FAULT, OK? It's not because you didn't teach him to sleep. Some babies, especially colic-y ones, are just like that. It's nothing that you have or have not done.<br /><br />Massive hugs. Tears in my eyes, writing this, because I can remember vividly how freaking horrible this was.

Please please please email me (contact form on blog) and I would love to walk thru this with you. Our sleep drama has been up and down but ultimately... there ARE answers, just hard to find. :) HUGS!Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16599969078023862908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8910011039812857270.post-60592698425092154272010-06-17T07:53:39.397-05:002010-06-17T07:53:39.397-05:00Hey Julie,

Qui...Hey Julie--found your blog from The Muser :-)<br /><br />Quick background on me: first baby had terrible reflux/sleeping issues, and I had super severe PPD (hospitalized) with second baby and moderate PPD with the third. So I feel you, sister!!! Just wanted to tell you that my first kiddo got MUCH better with sleeping as he aged...he's a SUPER sleeper now, and I really believe that his brain just needed to mature. And my third kiddo was eating 2-3 ozs. at a time at four months, and just started taking 6 ozs. at seven months...she's just a snacker. It's her thing. If you want to "chat" about stuff, feel free to email me: emily(dot)finding(dot)grace(at)gmail(dot)com. Praying for you tonight...sleep deprivation can do a number on the mommas. I am pleading with God to let you get some sleep!!

Don't know if it will help in your situation or not (maybe check with your doc to see if this would be appropriate advice with your little one's medical/feeding issues and age), but we found that it worked really well and that it only took a short amount of time to "retrain" her. It's also very step-by-step, like you were looking for. Here's a link (and it looks like it has links to advice on other sleeping issues): http://www.texaschildrenspediatrics.org/healthlibrary/pa_nightfd_hhg.aspxMuser Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619098935024377476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8910011039812857270.post-9703038276274979802010-06-12T14:46:21.286-05:002010-06-12T14:46:21.286-05:00BIG BIG BIG HUGS Julie!!BIG BIG BIG HUGS Julie!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8910011039812857270.post-45566640010639313932010-06-11T22:13:29.089-05:002010-06-11T22:13:29.089-05:00Oh no!

It makes total sense that you feel that. And even moms who desperately try and try to have babies and can't and then later end up with one often end up feeling just what you're feeling. I wish I could come take care of your baby for a night so you could get some sleep. I hope somebody does that for you. And I hope you're able to find a good step-by-step instruction sheet on how to help your little one. Did your baby's doc have any good info?Muser Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619098935024377476noreply@blogger.com
