So the drama continues over J and his sleeping issues. Here's a recap:
*He SCREAMS whenever you place him in his crib- naptime, bedtime, whenever
*During the day I let him cry it out and a few times he has fallen asleep after 30 or so minutes of screaming
*At night we are about to lose our minds. Last night he went to bed just fine- even let me lay him down and walk out of the room without him crying. At 11:30 he woke up crying, which led to screaming. This continued off and on all night long. We let him cry in 30 minute intervals and then went in and gave him his pacifier. A few times he fell asleep, but then woke up 45 minutes later crying and screaming. When he cries or screams, it's always for me. "MAMAMAMAMAMAMAMMOMOMOMOMOMOM!" Imagine hearing that for hours on end in the middle of the night.
*Around 3 last night B went to sleep in the basement (my idea, since J just plays when we're both there) and J came into bed with me. At least we all got 3.5 hours of sleep after that.
We basically have no idea what is wrong with him. He's not sick, apparently not teething, just wants his Mama.
I really hope this is just some kind of a weird phase- it's been so hard to go from a baby that has always been a pretty good sleeper, to one that has us up in the middle of the night more often than he did when he was a newborn.
