(it sounds like he's all that's waking maya up.)<br /><br />naomi seems to go through phases where she will wake up and cry once in a while at night. i think it started back in october--would have to check the blog to be sure. she still does it once in a great while--in fact did it last week, after more than a month. i guess like with all things, they're constantly changing things up to keep it interesting for us. ;)Rebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16739267142330427759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-62606224356392421962011-01-30T00:04:03.724-05:002011-01-30T00:04:03.724-05:00I feel the pain.

I'm a fan of E Pantley. The Sears book on sleep is also useful. Hope you solve the issues soon!one-hit_wonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392238740961497297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-35229238481878138332011-01-28T17:57:25.663-05:002011-01-28T17:57:25.663-05:00Hope the sleep situation gets better.

She still sleeps with me when Mike works but also loves her new bed (she wants me to sleep in it one night while she sleeps on the floor underneath (loft bed).Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239906850935331782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-82022775835933030182011-01-28T17:35:17.449-05:002011-01-28T17:35:17.449-05:00I'm sure it is just a phase (hopefully a short...I'm sure it is just a phase (hopefully a short one) I can remember with my two older ones that we would have period of sleeping bliss, and then times where we were sure a demon had inhabited or sweet child! I'm sure that if you just stick to the routine that was working for you prior to this, then once this weird phase passes, all will be well again. You already know you have great sleepers... So now you just have to ride it out. (easier said than done right! I'm not one to talk, I have two babies that sleep in hour intervals, on totally different schedules!) Good luck to you!Cyndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239516892732396510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-54250497851063456982011-01-28T15:39:28.463-05:002011-01-28T15:39:28.463-05:00Sleep has always been a trouble with one of ours. ...Sleep has always been a trouble with one of ours. And we're friends on facebook, so perhaps you know which one. ;)<br /><br />The last couple of nights have been better, and it's because we aren't jumping when S cries, and we've found that she'll cry herself back to sleep, and it will only last about 3 minutes. Whew!<br /><br />Hope sleep gets better in your house. Oh, how life is just SO much better when there is sleep! :)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912857890584533572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-45708652903498872312011-01-28T15:13:02.072-05:002011-01-28T15:13:02.072-05:00Thank you :) That makes me feel better :)

But, now that I've started researching, it's insane what sleep scientists think happen to toddlers bodies and brains during that 14 hours of sleep. I'm starting to get scared of what we might be missing!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-12006740430801514192011-01-28T13:54:40.411-05:002011-01-28T13:54:40.411-05:00I am vigerously knocking on wood because for the l...I am vigerously knocking on wood because for the last 2 nights sleep has finally NOT been a problem! Colby has slept from 8:30-6am. That's like 9.5 hours! And he napped for 1.5. He's never been a great sleeper though... and doesn't seem to need it. He's totally one of those kids that wakes a lot (usually--- 3 to 4 or more times a night). And I won't do the cry it out either, so I'm in there dutifully rocking. :)<br /><br />I read the no cry solution for babies (I think it was birth to 2) and I was totally the same way! I read it and thought "we don't have these issues!" and then of course they all starting coming on. :) Good luck!Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675197616280434252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-28906581597386991472011-01-28T13:37:21.912-05:002011-01-28T13:37:21.912-05:00Oh my goodness, I feel your pain.
