I have yet to see the end of the tunnel where night-waking is concerned. some babies manage it at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months...mine is 10 months and counting. i've got all sorts of theories why maeve is still waking up.
a)sleeping is kinda boring
b)she hasn't learnt to sleep through and i have to teach her (which means prolonged crying with a chance it wouldn't fly)
c) it is all part of God's plan..i am being put through some trial by fire for some reason...and i obviously am not learning the lesson, so the lesson got extended.
reason A is lame and when she cries with her eyes closed, it means she WANTS to sleep. reason B is probable, but i tried cuddling, rocking etc for more than 2 hrs and she outlasted me. still had to surrender and nurse her to sleep. Reason C? well, reason C has me stumped as i have no idea what i need training in. patience perhaps? as for now, i can only beg God every night, "please let her sleep, because i so need to sleep..i haven't slept more than 3 continuous hours in 10 months and i'm beat". now to think positive thoughts and appreciate the fact that she's an absolute angel in the day!
