i write this after picking D up from daycare today to find that, instead of the usual 1-2 oz per bottle that she leaves (times 2 bottles) on a typical day, she left 7 oz total (4 in one bottle and 2 in the other) and only ate 3/4 of her solids at lunch. And i know what this most likely means: another night with multiple night wakings to eat.
Last week was hell, by the way. We moved D's crib into our room so MIL could have the nursery to herself, and she just couldn't sleep well. Part of it was MIL couldn't seem to get D to sleep. Part of it may have been that, when she's upstairs in the nursery and we hear her wake on the monitor, we tend to wait just a bit to see if she falls back to sleep. If she cries out a second time, we go to her, otherwise she puts herself back to sleep and is usually good at it. But when she was in our room, it was easier to get her immediately and harder to wait a bit. And part of it was probably her being in a different place. Not to mention teething.
At any rate, all we've heard since is how she's not sleeping because it's too cold, or too hot, or too hungry, or she's overfed. Thanks, MIL. i'm reading "The No-Cry Sleep Solution", but we're already doing most of the things it suggests, so i'm at a loss. i keep hoping she'll improve with age. Honestly i really feel the biggest culprit is my old arch-nemesis reflux; that since she can't get enough to eat during the day, she gets hungry at night. Which makes me pretty crabby on days like this when she doesn't eat at daycare. i should have just kept her home instead of working on my stupid sewing project and attempting (and failing at) a nap for myself. i just know i'm not 100% up to full health because my patience is lacking.
At any rate, it's been some better since we moved the crib back upstairs, but last night she still woke 3 times for food. We'll see about tonight. Bleh. Crabby me will just wait for the world's sweetest baby to wake from her nap.
