- Top 10 Post-Pregnancy Bodily Surprises - December 26, 2012
- Sleepless in Toddlerville - July 3, 2012
People warn you about the exhaustion that comes with having a newborn. “Omigod, you’d better get your sleep now because you’ll never get to sleep again once that baby comes!” they cackle knowingly. And, despite wanting to kick them with your swollen feet, you know those know-it-alls are right. So you spend your nine(ish) months of pregnancy steeling yourself for the sleepless nights and searching the online mom forums for helpful advice, such as where you can invest in a Red Bull I.V. drip. Then you pop that kid out – yes, that’s exactly how it happens: POP! – and, as you hold your beautiful alien-like baby for the first time, she slowly opens her eyes, looks up at you and smirks, “I hope you have no intention of sleeping at night for the next six months, woman.”
At least that’s how I translated “WAAAAAAHHHHHH!”
Which is precisely how things went with our firstborn, Miss Skye. She rarely slept through the next for the first six months, but that was okay; I was prepared to handle my infant’s unpredictable sleeping habits, having done my due diligence on credible baby sites such as Yahoo! Answers and Jodie Sweetin’s baby blog, and was somehow able to power through my exhaustion, thanks to NMA (no, not the National Meat Association… New Mom Adrenaline). In fact, the exhaustion was a badge of honor when I was a brand-spankin’-new mom. I boasted about my lack of sleep on Facebook, knowing others moms would empathize – not to brag, but I garnered a personal record of 51 “Likes” for my clever post-baby status update: “YAWN” – and worked the bags under my eyes like they were the latest, trendiest accessory (which they kind of are here in Los Angeles, land o’ endless stream of celebrity babies).
Then, just when I started to hit a wall, Miss Skye generously ended my near-misery. My husband and I didn’t do anything special to settle her into a better routine, such as setting rigid schedules or letting her “cry it out” or adding a shot of Jack Daniels to her bottle. She simply started sleeping through the night – from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. (can I get a “hallelujah”?) – when she turned six months old. Now two-and-a-half years old, Miss Skye is still a champion sleeper who considers early mornings even more offensive than the pairing of “Kimye.” Because this was the only experience I had, I assumed most all kids grew out of their vampiric sleep schedules by the time they were six months old. “Ha, haaaaa! Piece of cake,” I crowed to myself, thankful I never dropped any money on a Red Bull I.V. drip. (They were backordered.)
Then I had my son.
More than a year later, and that boy continues to wake up every three-to-four hours with no sign of relief in sight. People warn you about the exhaustion that comes with having a newborn – why does nobody warn you about the mind-numbing, unable-to-remember-your-own-
Thanks for your support, Mom.
Speaking of my mother, I was sharing my tale of woe with her the other day and she said, “Well, YOU didn’t sleep until you were three years old.” Chilling words, we can all agree, perhaps even more frightening than when my husband says, “Uh-oh. It’s all the way up the baby’s back.” So I asked Mom how she coped with the exhaustion, to which she responded:
“How the hell should I know? You left the house seventeen years ago and I’m STILL catching up on my sleep.”
Maybe I should go check on the status of that I.V. drip, after all.

seriously, i get you! my son – didn;t sleep until about 6 mos ago when he was 2.5… my mom said the same thing about me… all i can say is… there are others out there… we struggle on and at some point – they sleep… and the one thing i kept telling myself and still do sometimes… pres clinton only slept 5 hrs a night… and well i think he is brilliant… so i guess my son is too! hang in there!
When my son becomes president, then, he had BETTER make it up to me by giving me on-demand access to Air Force One!

We sometimes go through this with our daughter. Actually, I go through it. Surprisingly, the husband is able to sleep through it all. So while the baby and I are awake at 4am, she and I devise ways to get toothpaste on his nose and draw hearts on his face with permanent marker.

My husband does the very same, even when the monitor is RIGHT next to his ear. What’s up with these guys? At least you are kind enough to draw hearts! I’m usually inspired to draw something far less sweet.
Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
I have two children 16 months apart, and I find it very, very rare to catch a complete 6 hours of sleep – uninterrupted. My oldest is 3 years old. Although the baby sleeps through the night, my oldest is waking up with nightmares or bathroom requests, etc. I’m beginning to believe I’ll never really sleep again.
Mother Ruckus recently posted..Shallow End Shenanigans
So my mom was right for once: it doesn’t get any better as they get older. Oy.
Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
Ah yes, the non-sleeping toddler. I have one of those. The eldest wakes up every freaking night. Lucky for me she is a complete and utter daddy-girl and always always requests her father to soothe her back to sleep.
The youngest likes to latch to me like a leech, thankfully she sleeps like a tranquilized bull.
You have my sympathies and a cup of espresso whenever you want one.

We are living the same, sleepless, life! I’m pretty sure number 2 doesn’t sleep through the night because number one was so wonderful at it!
Yes, I think that is precisely it. If that’s what is in effect, I hope that means Child #2 WILL be potty-trained before he’s in college, unlike our #1.

Lucky our first one is like your first one. I like to think our second will be a good sleeper, too, but NOW I’M SCARED!

This must be a boy thing. I had my son in 2010 and he didn’t sleep through the night until he was like a year old. Then we had 6 blissful months of sleep until the 18 month sleep regression hit. It was a nightmare. It lasted almost 2 months and I thought I was going to die. Then a few more blissful months of sleep until BAM no more sleeping. This kid is 27 months old and REFUSES to go to sleep without someone in the room. Unfortunately we had to let him cry for a bit bc guess I’ve also got a 4 month old to deal with at this point.
At least the baby sleeps. She’s actually pretty awesome at sleeping. I want to be awesome at sleeping again too.
Elaine recently posted..The one where I remember I have a job
I was just discussing this with a friend — yeah, I think it may indeed be a boy thing. Here’s to being awesome at sleeping again… when we’re 80! (Hey, at least that’s *one* good thing about getting older.)
Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
Haha yes. I’m looking forward to when my kids have their own children who inflict torture on them in the form of sleep deprivation.
I swear this 2 year old is like a pint sized terrorist right now. I will give him whatever he wants! JUST TELL ME WHAT IT IS SO I CAN SLEEEEEPPP.
Elaine recently posted..The one where I remember I have a job
I had a non-sleeping toddler….and a newborn at the same time. It sucked. It sucked donkey balls. I didn’t sleep like at all for about 6 months. I may have had some form of nervous breakdown in there somewhere. Thankfully, when my older daughter turned 2 1/2 and my younger daughter turned 6mo they started sleeping thru the night together. They still do have the occasional nightmare and wake up, but it is much better than it was. At least I get sleep now.

I so feel your pain! My oldest didn’t sleep through the night on a regular basis until he was about a year old. My second didn’t sleep through the night until he was about 2.5 years old (he had some medical issues we had to sort out). We’re hoping and praying that #3 does better than both of them. The third times a charm, right?
Kmama recently posted..A Big Announcement
Congrats on #3! Yes, sounds like you deserve a good sleeper this time ’round. (And I won’t mention how my great-grandma always said, “Everything comes in threes.” Because I’m sensitive like that.)
Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
I got nine hours of uninterrupted sleep last night, but that’s because my teen isn’t driving yet. Figured I ought to catch up now before I hand her the keys. So, don’t worry. You’ll have times when you can sleep, and times when you can’t. We’ll all sleep great when we’re grandparents…maybe.

See, this kindof terrifies me, because we’re expecting #3 right now (suckers for punishment), and my first two have been very good sleepers. I am due for a non-sleeper… and I’m old(er) now and with two kids already I’m fairly certain this one may do me in.

Perhaps your first two can pitch in. After all, that’s why we have kids, right? To help with any additional children and fetch us margaritas?
Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
Oh I hear you. My oldest never slept quite as long as your champion sleeper. But he started getting through the night around 6 months or so. His little brother? Not so much. It drove me nuts. He didn’t need to nurse anymore. It was like he just wanted to check in to make sure there was someone else in the house. He even started climbing out of his crib around 13 months. I’d wake up at 3am with a mad cackling toddler looking at me. Out of desperation I moved the two boys into the same room. It did the trick. The little guy would wake up, see his brother sleeping across the room, and go back to sleep.
Good luck!

I was thinking about doing the same and moving our little guy into his sister’s bedroom. But then I had visions of them partying together in there and doing late-night milk keg stands (they *are* their mother’s kids, after all), and wasn’t so sure. Good to know it did the trick for your son. Maybe we’ll try it! Getting desperate here.

Your mom’s responses are classic.
And might I suggest ear plugs? And possibly sound-proofing his room?
Best of luck. Hope he decides to take mercy on you soon.

Ah as someone with a newborn and a 2 year old I can totally relate! How come no one tells you no matter how exhausted you are you still have to take care of the 2 year old! And people that keep telling me to sleep when the baby sleeps are ridiculous! Hello I have a toddler ugh!

Oh, that ol’ “sleep when the baby sleeps” advice? Even the baby is like, “Yeah, good luck with that.” Has never worked for me, either.
Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
And there’s nothing worse than getting that chance to lay down for the first time in 3 weeks, and all you can do is think about the 100 other things you should be doing. And then the baby wakes up or the toddler poops his/her pants, and you’re just groggy more tired and haven’t gotten anything done and you have poopy pants to clean up. It’s a total farce.

If it doesn’t exist then I think YOU need to start the Cranky Mom’s club. My kids DO sleep through the night but sometimes I’m still cranky. OK I’m cranky all the time but frankly I think it’s just due to the unreasonable number of legos that populate my bed. Anyway I hope you don’t have to wait 3 years to sleep again. There are options!

Oh my goodness!! I am so sorry! My firstborn was the one who didn’t want to sleep so when my second came (only 10 weeks old now) I expected her to be just the same. But she’s such a pleasant little surprise who sleeps through the night already! Six straight, glorious hours before she wants some boob. Compared to my oldest, this is a dream. My oldest would be up all night wanting to play. (She’s a toddler now, almost 2, who sleeps great) My youngest, though, thinks 8:30 am is an ungodly hour. Good luck!

Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
Love it! My 15 month just started sleeping through the night, so I can totally relate. He’s my 3rd. My first was our worst sleeper because she’d wake up and then we couldn’t get her back to sleep. But she did start sleeping through at about 11 months. 2nd was a thumb sucker, so he was pretty good. This 3rd guy would go back to sleep once I nursed him, but it’s been a LONG 15 months. I’m hoping he sticks with it now. I’m so jealous of those babies that sleep through so early and then the parents think I’m just a rubbish Mom because my kid won’t for over a year.
Has very little to do with the parent, I tell ya. Some of these kids just like to mess with us!
Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
Ha! Welcome to my life, except I have 16-month-old twins that don’t sleep through the night, and a 2.5 year old toddler who’s recently (i.e. this week) discovered he’s afraid of the dark. I haven’t slept in a solid 3 days. Enjoy those pockets of sleep you get for the rest of us!

I was very, very lucky. Both girls were bottle fed (due my not being able to nurse). My first started sleeping 8 hours at 10 weeks. The second had a higher metabolism and needed to be fed more often so she waited until 5 months before sleeping 8 hours.
Fortunately my husband is a night owl and very considerate. I would go to bed at 9 and he would feed baby the last bottle around 11. Then baby would wake up at 3 and I would get up having had almost 6 hours sleep. Then I would get up with baby around 7. Most of the time after we had a schedule established, I felt almost normal. This of course didn’t include those nights where we started letting them fall asleep on their own and letting them cry it out. I don’t miss that part at all!
I’m envious of your good sleepers! Perhaps your girls can have a word with my son. (He likes the ladies.)
Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
I am so lucky to have been blessed with two good sleepers. My daughter slept through the night before 6 months, my son at 7 months. The only reason my son ever wakes up now is because of a wet diaper. I don’t know how people make it through more than 6 months of getting up in the middle of the night. I would kill someone.
I would kill someone.
Yes, well, let’s just say my son’s Elmo has been “missing” for a while.

This. THIS is why I am fighting my husband on the idea of another baby. My daughter slept through the night at THREE months (11 hours every night!) and I just KNOW I’ll get a baby who REFUSES to sleep the next time around!
My hubby was the one who “encouraged” a second child, too. So I think it’s only fair I blame him (and the Mai-Tais I drank on our Hawaiian vacation where our son was conceived) for the bags under my eyes. But I take total credit for our son’s crazy cuteness.
Eleven hours at THREE months? That’s a slice of heaven, right there.
Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
Meh, y’all can come talk to me when yours are 4 (and he’s a twin) and STILL not sleeping through the night (and wakes up his twin every time). ONLY THEN can we truly discuss oatmeal brains. :o/
Four years old and STILL not sleeping? Oh my. I’m going to close my eyes and pretend I didn’t read that.
Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
My kids are all grown now, but boy does this take me back. My daughter was a terrific sleeper; even as a small baby she wanted to go to bed when she was tired, never fussed about napping, slept through the night from a very early age.
Then I had my son. Their dad was military and got sent overseas for a year when he was 2 months old, so I was effectively a single mom. He was also a colicky baby and, starting midafternoon *every* *single* *day,* he’d start crying and crying and crying…thank heaven that stopped when he reached 6 months! But I was so insanely tired that I finally lost it completely when he was about 9 months old and let him cry it out for 2-3 nights, which was all it took, fortunately.
Even more fortunately, at this point my daughter, who was a very mature and responsible 8, started helping me out — on Saturday mornings she’d get him up and change him and feed him a bottle (yes, she really was only 8!) and watch cartoons with him, and let me get a couple extra hours of sleep. (She was a terrific kid, need I mention?)
My lesson in all this? If you have a trustworthy older child, trust them! You’ll be surprised how responsible they can be. (This was all her idea, by the way; I didn’t even know she was going to do it until she’d done it the first time!)
That’s awesome. Could you please send your daughter my way?
Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
Awesome! “Uh-oh. It’s all the way up the baby’s back.” had me LOL-ing!
I can relate to everything you said, but in the reverse. My second was/is a great sleeper – but I had so much anxiety in anticipation that she would be like my son that I almost couldn’t enjoy it! We ended up doing cry-it-out with our son. (At age six, he’s not traumatized or brain-damaged for it, either.) He still wakes up at 7am most mornings but now he’s old enough to turn on the TV by himself and he knows that he’s not allowed to disturb me unless the house is on fire or someone is bleeding. Profusely.

Ha! Your mom’s response is classic. Whenever I tell my mother of any of my kids’ “issues”, she listens sympathetically and then says something vague like “just like you.” And, um, I have a near 3 yr old who still wakes. Gimme some of the drip.

I feel your pain only I think I win the “lack of sleep” award…. mine are 22 months apart – 4 years old and just turned 6 – and they have just started sleeping all night in the last 6 months! I injest an INSANE amount of coffee and will never catch up on the years of lost sleep! A 3rd child is totally not in our future….
Mine are 23 months apart and your tale is not giving me hope! Yikes. Yeah, sometimes, there is just not enough coffee in the world…
Candy recently posted..10 Worst Things About Being a “Mommy Blogger”
My daughter didn’t sleep thru the night on a regular basis til she was 5 & in kindergarten. People should not wonder why we only have one child. When she was 6 months old she took 3 30-min naps a day & my pediatrician looked at me like I was insane. When I showed him the bags under my eyes, he started believing me :)
The bags don’t lie! I can commiserate.

Student Mom recently posted..Health Promoting Ducks
My son was a premature and he slept soundly from the first day, it was actually a little scary. I literally had to force him to wake up to feed because he was so small he couldn’t really afford to miss any feedings. In other words, it was me waking him up instead of the other way around!
He’s 11 now and still sleeps from around 8pm to 6-7am. However, he gets up between 6am and 7am every morning… Weekends, summer vacation, holidays (like my birthday!), he doesn’t care. Once he’s up, it’s time for everyone to get up!
Okay, up at 6AM on your birthday? That’s just not right.
Candy recently posted..The Laughing Stork’s Airplane Bingo
Boy this sounds familiar. My son was not a good sleeper (ever). He didn’t nap much even as a newborn. The only saving grace was he was okay with going to bed at 8 and entertaining himself until it was time to wake me up for a late night feeding (2-3am). I don’t know how much he slept during that time but there were nights I went to sleep to the sound of his toys playing music.
That continued. As a toddler it was harder. He didn’t want to stay in bed. (I was single at that time) I compromised by having him go to bed with me so he wouldn’t keep waking me up. That boy slept with me until I married when he was six. That was the only way to get sleep for me. I had to teach him to make breakfast on his own at two because he was such an early riser. When he was 7-8, we had to wake him up before we went to bed, just enough to get him to talk to us and then fall back to sleep. It was the only way he slept through the night.
Now at 15 – he’s tough to get to bed. And some mornings he’s up at 3, others we have to practically crash cymbals at his head to get him to wake up because he’s exhausted (he may not think he needs sleep but his body disagrees).
Some kids are like that. I hope you have better luck than I have had.
Sara Thompson recently posted..Book Review: Primal by Raven Bower
For a second I read your comment to say, “That boy slept with me until he married…” Now THAT would be something!
One of my friends recently warned me the sleep battles and food battles with kids last well into the teenage years. I scoffed at the time, but I scoff no more!
Candy recently posted..The Laughing Stork’s Airplane Bingo
The best warning (b/c it’s not really advice) I ever got was from a friend with three kids. She told me not to count on sleeping until my daughter was three. And since I had a son when my daughter turned three, I haven’t slept through a night for almost 5years. I so want a night at a hotel….alone! Just so I can sleeeeep.
I had told my husband all I wanted for Mother’s Day was a night in a hotel — by myself. He was totally down with it, but I wimped out at the last second. What a dummy I am.
Candy recently posted..The Laughing Stork’s Airplane Bingo
I think worse than, or at least as bad as, the on-going non-sleeping baby, is the formerly-sleeping and now-non-sleeping baby. Because they lull you into a false sense of security, wait til you’re good and used to a full-nights’ sleep, and then WHAMMO! 2-year sleep regression out of nowhere, and you’re not used to it so you feel like you’re a zombie on acid all of a sudden.

Well our first (and only) started sleeping through the night at 11 weeks but now you scared the crap out of me when I start thinking about baby 2. Especially since my husband has “baby monitor deafness”-it’s a male oriented disease where they cannot hear any sort of sounds made on a baby monitor. Fasicnating, isn’t it. Also, slightly risky with a sleep deprived hormonal woman around. Mike is lucky he survived at all to even be TALKING about baby 2.

Six years. Six. Before I could get my daughter to fall asleep on her own in her room. And she still, at 7 1/2, come into my room in the middle of the night. The only good thing now is that my doctor gave me a prescription that lets me sleep through the night even when she is performing gymnastic routines in her sleep.

Oh my god, the sleepless nights. Everyday, I keep telling myself, “I Must Not Have Another Kid!”
My girl is 15 months old and still gets up at night. She even gets up at 6am and I’m still DAMN DROWSY!!! I salut to all women who have more than one kid because I sincerely don’t know how they do it. I keep getting advices about Cry it Out or other soothing methods that might make my baby sleep through the night but they all didn’t work! I just think every baby is different and I’m just the unlucky one :(
I worked with a woman with five children. She told me that four of her five children slept through the night starting the first night home from the hospital. I failed to ask her what her definition of “sleeping through the night” was. Was it 5 hours or 8 hours? I personally think that she must have been a heavy sleeper and just slept through her kids screaming!
You ladies don’t scare me! My little one is going to sleep through the night from day one!
I mean, I’ve never heard of that happening … and she’s already kicking me at a steady rhythm from 11pm onward but still …
It’s possible, right? All night? LOL.
the amazon chick recently posted..A Brave Commentary
I always hate the question “so is the baby sleeping through the night?” H-to The E-To The DOUBLE L NO! My son did not sleep through the night till he was 3 and my daughter who is 3 is a poor sleeper, she wants to stay up till 11pm and then crash, sleep a few hours, get up, cry at my bed, wake up my 10mo old who shares a room with her and expect me to put them both back to bed @ the same time. I also have the issue that by the time 11:30 rolls around the baby has crashed, the 3yold has crashed, and my son who is 5 has been asleep since 9pm (love him) it is ME time, I can read Blogs.
I guess you never know when this will strike. We have a 4 year old who was the most amazing sleeper up until a couple months ago. Now he gets up at 6 and 6:30 a.m. Probably sounds like a dream to you but then he’s up all day with no naps, so, ya know…it wears on us. You have my complete sympathy!!
