Naptime Nonsense

Ugh...another sleep issue with Miles. Now that he has learned to pull himself up and stand while holding onto something, he won't nap. He just stands at the rail of his crib and cries as he chews on the side. If he's not standing, he's sitting down playing.

I need some advice on how to get him to go to sleep easier! Maybe he's spreading out his naps and I'm putting him down at the wrong times. Yesterday before bedtime, he was awake for 6 hours! He just refused to nap, and then it got too late that we didn't want to put him down.

What a silly baby, naps are awesome!!

If he's not napping, why not go play at the park? By the way, check out Miles' little bruise on his eyebrow. He's getting a few more bumps and bruises now that he's cruising around.

Rocking the Days Away

There are days where it feels like all I do is rock Miles to sleep. Sleep has never come easy to him, even now at six months old it comes with a lot of fussing, tossing and turning and even screaming at times. Falling asleep is something he will have to learn how to do on his own eventually but with having a few failed attempts at sleep training it will have to wait. Miles does not have the easy going temperament to fuss a little bit in his crib then fall asleep. He gets more and more worked up. He has his six month well visit next week with our pediatrician so we will wait and see what Mr. Martin has to say about it.

But this week he is not sleeping at night. I can't even count how many times he wakes up and "needs" to nurse. Cosleeping has created a nightime eating monster!

I think it's time for a few changes around these parts. I'm getting to be one sleepy momma!
