Please sit. Please lay down. Please sleep.

I know I'm spoiled and I really have no "real" reason to complain, but I just thought I would vent on here a little. I don't know if it is the teething or what, but my little great sleeper (she has been sleeping through the night since she was 3 weeks old) has now had a few back to back bad nights. We have a had a couple not so stellar nights here and there, but never back to back. She has figured out that if she stands in her bed and cries...I mean really screams...long enough, that Mommy will come walking through that door. I lay there in bed and watch her on the video monitor (so I know she is okay) but she just stands there and screams while watching the door. I sit there and pray that she will sit down and then eventually lay down and go back to sleep...but no luck. What to do???? She has always been good at soothing herself and going back to sleep, even when she would sit straight up and look around for awhile, but not from a stand. Hopefully tonight proves to be different.

I hope so too!

If it's teething, try giving her some Motrin before bed. That's what has helped us with Andrew this week as he has now cut his 5th tooth and it looks like 1 more to go for now. Good luck!

I agree with Susan on the Motrin! If Abby has been really fussy, it works like a charm!
