Unreliable Sleep Log Report

This is a little over a week's worth of sleep logs for G. We did Tylenol before bed several nights because her teeth were really bugging her, and we hoped that'd help her sleep. We had some glimmers of hope Saturday-Monday nights, but now we are back to craziness. Her top teeth are bulging out, so it's only a matter of time before those cut through. You'll see that at the end of the log, her nights get pretty close to perfect...but then start back down into the crappy multiple night waking pattern.
Ugh! I know every families' burden is different, ours just happens to be having a terrible teether. I'm trying not to complain about our problem, because I know it could be one a lot bigger, but it's hard not to. At eight months old, G is sleeping about 12-13 hours a day, taking 1 or 2 naps, and going to bed around 7:15. In general, teething and poop are our sleep nemesis. I think she is on the brink of switching to one nap a day (saaaaad!), and that's causing some sleep issues, as are the recent round of shots.

  1. Wow, that sounds like quite the crazy roller coaster. Alethea hasn't had any teeth come in yet so I don't know what teething will be like for us. So far we have just had her crying in her sleep (but not waking up completely) lately so we might be on the brink of it. I am so thankful for our video monitor though because I am able to see if she is really awake or not so I don't go in there unless she does wake up. Hope you are able to find a solution. I think we are right there with you on the 1 nap thing pretty soon, but who knows what changes will happen over the next month! :-)
