Oh Joy...
My new, slightly changed, theme song the last few days has been Stay Woke By Childish Gambino. I've been sleepily singing "I STAY WOKE!! ...Cuz the baby's teethin'...She won't close her eyes..."
I have been mean, off beat and off schedule the last week being up every hour or 2 at night.
I've definitely had it with being awake at 4am!!
We were doing SO GOOD with sleeping 6-7hrs!!
The usual simple remedies don't work on my youngest, just as they did not work on my son, I don't know why I even tried. She needs a Designer TKO as well.
The difference now is have 2 big kids that don't need to be distracted and disturbed sometimes. Everyone needs some peace, so I bought some chamomile tea and lots of fruit with a bit of an evil laugh. She won't know what hit her!
In the last 2-3 days, I halved and portioned grapes and strawberries and froze them. Bedtime routine starts about 8pm until 9:30pm. After Joy ate, I gave her a warm bath with Johnson's Bedtime bath as usual. That combo knocks her out but lately her gums have added a good 30min to an hour of irritation to her fighting sleep. I was not having it! I made the chamomile tea and gave her about 5mL, thats like 1 full infant Tylenol syringe. Then let her nurse for a bit. By the time my big kids were done getting ready for bed she was still fussing but it was the "put me out of my misery" fuss. Time for the frozen goodies!
My oldest daughter and son talked to me about school while they ate their frozen snack and I rubbed Joy's gums with the grapes. She rolled her eyes like she remembered heaven.
TKO in 7 Minutes!!
She's a happy, healthy, SLEEPING, teething baby. That's almost unheard of but dammit, I'm Me!
This Mama Has Had 7hrs Of Sleep The Last 3 Days...Drool and All!
