Would love some advice from you moms out there. My adorable two year old has always been an amazing sleeper. From two months old to about a month ago she would sleep from 7:30pm tp 8:30am beautifully and napped from about 12pm to 2 or 3pm. I was definitely spoiled but felt I deserved it since she was an extremely colicy baby for the first two months and NEVER slept. Well, now we are pregnant with number two and she has been oddly clingy. She doesnt nap at all it seems and has been having trouble sleeping at night. Last night she got up at 5:30am and only wanted me and cried for about 30 minutes...
It is possible it's the pregnancy making her more clingy. My dd became impossibly clingy during pregnancy and moved back into our bed and would only nap if I napped too. It actually got worse and worse until the baby arrived and then bam! She became little miss independent! Then she didn't want me to do anything for her!
I found it best to go with it and give her all the extra attention, because it's your last chance before baby comes, and I have really special memories of that time now.
My dd, has become even more 'LOVIE" im not showing she doesnt know.
i was wondering if maybe my hormone levels are having an effect on her.
Sorry hear your DD is waking so early and distressed.
Buy some rescue remedy (all natural bach flower essence), or Breur to a remedy "calm" to help sooth her and get her back to sleep. you can also dose yourself up at same time.
