Thankfully although it made both Lee and I grumpy and very tired, it only lastest a little while. we had never let Isabel sleep in our bed, but it was the only thing to calm her...and with 20 people in the house I couldn't exactly let her scream it out. I would say if she goes past 30 min. do anything you can to get her to sleep. Your doing good...remember it won't last forever! I think it was around that time the Dr. told me they are really becoming aware of things and you really need to sleep train. I still have to do this with Isabel sometimes. We'll be praying for you!Lee and Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741570016798116541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29998531.post-46017911248018638292008-07-31T13:42:00.000-04:002008-07-31T13:42:00.000-04:00I agree with the Kampers.

If I remember correctly, 6 months was when Evee had a set back too. During that time she was teething too, and just needed some extra comforting. Don't be afraid to go in and rock her. Does she have a favorite blankey or pacifier? The blankey comforts Evee, alot!PAULS FAMILY:https://www.blogger.com/profile/13231656140249501058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29998531.post-89863887815936609282008-07-31T10:01:00.000-04:002008-07-31T10:01:00.000-04:00Oh Rachael!

Or there is something big going on in the family. This spring we regressed bad! From Feb-April we had someone at our house or we were gone every weekend! That was enough to make him get up like ever 2 hours at night. He seemed to want to nurse all the time. I think there was teeth in that mix too and a cold and a growth spurt! AHHHH, we learned to rock some (he seemed to need that comfort) and to let him scream some. We did the first night go in ever 5 minutes, the next night ever 10, then 15 the next and so on. It's hard! We eventually got him back into a routine and he is sleeping through the night again. I found that some times he really just needed to be rocked and snuggled...like during teeth or having a cold. Sorry that's so hard...not sure any of what I just said helped. :( Just know that you aren't alone. You can do it!Liz Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698702321324459456noreply@blogger.com
