Do they make ambien for babies?

Ahem.  Obviously that's my own brand of sarcasm coming through, but Tiny Boy sure could use a sleep aid.

Last night he didn't fall asleep until after 11:00.

Did I mention that his attempted bedtime was 6:30?  He fell asleep for about 20 minutes.  And then maybe another 20 minutes around 8:00.  And he just could not settle.  Not swaddled.  Not in a carrier.  Not being rocked.  Not being nursed.  Finally at 10:40 he just started wailing this desperate wail.  By 11:00 I nursed him again (you know, because going 30 minutes after a feeding is a really long stretch.  ahem) and we both fell asleep.

You'd think after that he'd sleep well.  And he did, comparatively.  But still managed to wake twice to feed before waking at his regular 6:45.

So far today he's only had one 50ish minute nap, most spent sucking on me.

Right now he's strapped to me in the mei tai.  Was asleep (20 minutes) and just pooped.  Great.

I think it's diaper and stroller time.

Update:  It is now 1:43.  Tiny Boy has been asleep since 11:30.  Has not eaten since 10:15.  Amen.

  1. Just when you think you have things kind of figured out, you get a night like that. Sorry (for both of you), and I hope he sleeps long and well this afternoon and tonight.

  2. Ugh. I'm so sorry Gwinne. Fingers crossed you both get some regular sleep soon!
