Hailey vs CIO: Round 2

My poor little Hailey! I am starting to think her teeth, or would be teeth, are starting to bother her. Both of my girls have been drooling a lot, and more and more every day. But neither of them have little bumps in their gums. So I didn't think it was a big deal.

Except lil' Miss Hailey seems to be having a tough few days. Last night we couldn't get her to go to sleep in her crib AT ALL. We finally gave up after 11pm and put her in the yellow sling that Ami let us borrow a few months ago. Thank goodness for that sling is all I have to say.

There was nothing we could do last night to calm Hailey down. Clean diaper didn't work. Food didn't work. Playing in the jungle didn't work. Swinging didn't work. An iced teething thing didn't work. Sitting in the vibrating bouncy chair didn't work. Having the lights off didn't work. Turning the lights on didn't work. Letting her scream didn't work. Cuddling with daddy didn't work. Cuddling with mommy FINALLY worked...but only after almost an hour of screaming and mommy rubbing her bum.

She actually slept from just after 11pm until 5:30 this morning in the sling with out so much as a peep. After she ate and played in the jungle a little this morning I was able to get her to go to sleep in her crib for a little over 2 hours! And after last night, I am very proud of her doing that! Hailey slept in the crib while Hannah and I slept in our bed, not wanting ANYTHING to wake Hailey up.

So now fast forward 2 hours...Hannah in bed and Hailey screaming. And again, nothing works. I put her in her high chair so I can put the pot roast back into the fridge, obviously I'm not going to get that in the crock pot in time for dinner tonight. Poor Hailey is screaming at the top of her lungs and then...All. Is. Silent.

She passed out in her high chair and has been that way now for over 2o min. I am not really a fan of her sleeping in it, especially because the straps are under her seeing that she was only going to be in it for less then a minuet. But there is NO WAY I'm going to be moving her until she wakes up. Also no way I'm going to do anything that could make a sound that would cause her to wake up. Even if I get another 20 minuets out of her I will be thankful.

Please cross your fingers.

Round 2:
Hailey = 2 CIO = 0

Hmmm... she seems to prefer sleeping sitting up a little more. Have you tried a wedge under her in the crib? We did that with Emily and it was instantly better. Have you asked the doc about reflux maybe? I hope you all get some more sleep soon!
