I am/was entirely the same. Such that I became sort of addicted to naps. I freak out if they are skipped and inflict great flagelation on an increasing basis. I occasionally look to my dear friends of near-no-nap children with an odd envy. They seem to know how to drink a coffee or tidy a house with child in hand. Me? I fear I am hopeless. What will I do when the naps do end?<BR/><BR/>-- I have made a campaign of this for about 3 months and life is actually a lot better with not caring.

We've had some MAJOR sleep issues, most notably when my 2-3 yo old (who is now 5) would wake up every night and have a total freak-out screamfest/punch mommy fest for an hour.

Gone way before that! My youngest is doing something totally amazing - he goes up to his bed when he's ready - climbs in and gets ready. It's the best sleeping-related thing to happen in our house! (Of course, he still wakes and wants to come to our bed in the night, but lately he wants to go back to his own, so the end MAY be near!)Pgoodnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070395099383753341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-29713823477403352972008-04-22T19:40:00.000-05:002008-04-22T19:40:00.000-05:00If it makes you feel any better, my firstborn was ...If it makes you feel any better, my firstborn was a ROTTEN sleeper. We had to keep him in the bed with us until he was nine months old, when I went back to work and finally tried the SleepLady method - which worked. But he didn't start sleeping through the night regularly until he was two and a half.<BR/><BR/>My two week old, on the other hand, sleeps beautifully. Every 2.5 to 3 hours he wakes - without screaming - eats, gets a diaper change, and goes back to sleep. In his own bed. This isn't anything I have done. He is just magically a much more placid being than his older brother.<BR/><BR/>I hope the parent gods bestow the same gift on you.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15855682469727450176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-54892586098286613062008-04-22T18:29:00.000-05:002008-04-22T18:29:00.000-05:00I fear the lack of sleep, too.

We didn't do the CIO with pumpkinpie, but nonetheless, we started moving her into her own crib at about 6 months, and I do credit a rigid go-to-bed routine with some of that. I am a total freak about sleep, too, and only reluctantly in the last few months have we conceded that naptime must now be "quiet time" instead. Still, she goes to sleep well and easily at night, sleeps a solid 11+ hours, and we rarely mess with the bedtime business. I'm with you, there. (And CIO worked very well with my sister, so while it wasn't for me and pumpkinpie, I'm not going to say it's a bad thing, either!)kittenpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215443551546036909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-7334619998775990152008-04-22T17:50:00.000-05:002008-04-22T17:50:00.000-05:00You know what?

He slept 3-4 hours at night from the get go, and transitioned to 8 hours pretty easily at about 6 months. And he took two naps daily until he was fully a year old. Then he napped until kindy. It was blissful. <BR/><BR/>Enter Diminutive One. I don't think he ever slept a whole night. Still hasn't. And he gave up napping at 18 months, which was a sad, sad, sad day in the Antagonist household. <BR/><BR/>In desperation, we used sleep training with him, and it was successful. However, he will just never be the sleeper that his brother is. And now, he takes meds that add to the problem. YAWN. <BR/><BR/>That said, don't be afraid. I'll admit the first year is hectic, but it just makes those rare occurrences where you get them to sleep at the same time all the more precious.Blog Antagonisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378330862349859998noreply@blogger.com
