I don't think he has ever fallen asleep without having at least a small fit. Swings and bouncy seats don't work. Maybe it is time to move him into his own room and see if that helps.

No Sleep=No Patience
When Tesfa came home he went to bed around 7:30. He would wake up at 2 & 5am for a bottle. Then he added another feeding around 10:30. Recently he had gotten down to getting up once a night at 3:30 OR 5a.m. I thought for sure we were close to sleeping through the night. No such luck! He is back to getting up 2-3 times a night and sometimes a little more. I am so frustrated! I have tried everything I can think of and nothing has worked. I don't think he is teething and there are no signs of an earache (which he has had before). I have given him tylenol to see if that helps (in case he is teething) but it is no better. He woke up at midnight last night and had a bottle and then was up again at 3am. I cried.

Oh Amy, I am so sorry. I know that the lack of consistent sleep at night has been really hard on me too so you are not alone. I do think things improved when we moved Ezra to his own room. I think when he was right next to me I woke up at every noise he made. I also think it woke him up when Damon and I came to bed later in the evening. I wish I were in town so I could come over and give you a hug. Love you!
I've followed your journey through Trent and Katie. I'm sorry that Tesfa isn't sleeping well...that makes for a LONG night and an even LONGER day! Is he eating cereal yet? If so, maybe having a feeding of cereal at night might satisfy him more? Also, if he does teeth...the homopathic teething tablets are awesome! Give them a try!!! Good luck and I hope you are able to start sleeping more!!!
