Early Mornings
Matthew is not so good with the whole sleeping thing. I have a hard time getting him to sleep past 5:30am. Not to mention the occasional extra early mornings like today. He woke me up at 4:30am. When I look at the clock and see it is that early I start getting really upset. I find myself having to do the whole 'reminding myself I love this child' routine. In this situation I don't know what else to do but to get up with him. When he was first born he would always wake up in the early morning to poop. After an hour of being awake and a diaper change, of course, we would go back up to bed. Now he is older, and I guess I thought he would grow out of that. He doesn't do it every day, but then again he doesn't poop everyday either. I want to know if anyone else has had this same problem with their child, and what you did about it? I figure I'll just wait it out and eventually he'll fix it on his own. The only thing is I don't know if I can handle it much longer... Save me...

So sorry! Rebekah started doing that at about a year old. She would wake up at about the same time. It was when Jacob would leave for work. I finally just left her in her crib every morning for a week, and I let her cry for a while. It sounds harsh, but I couldn't handle getting up at that time. I had morning sickness and was puking my guts out all the time. By the end of the week she was sleeping until seven or eight in the morning again. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYa, Rachel, I agre with Tiff. Is there somewhere you could leave him to cry that won't be so loud to you? Naomi's crib is right beside our bed, so when she chooses to be up at some obnoxious hour and won't go to sleep, I will strap her in her car seat and put her in our bathroom so there is a door between us. I can't handle that kind of thing either. Have you seen that funny comedian talking about sleep deprivation in mothers? It's hilarious. I'll send it to you on facebook.
