Ok, so this is TOTALLY off topic, but that's what this part of the forum is for.
I know we have lots of WAHM's here, so I just thought I would share and see if anyone has any bright ideas.
My grandbaby will be one year old in a couple weeks. She's been waking up 8 times a night on average for the past 11 1/2 months and my daughter is so sleep deprived she is ready to have a breakdown. My daughter has had 2 complete spinal surgeries and is in constant chronic pain and sometimes is disabled and can barely walk. Sometimes he can barely even pick up the baby. The whole family is chipping in to help her with laundry, the baby and everything because she's a walking zombie. I slept over there last night to try to calm baby and let my daughter try to get a full night sleep for the 1st time in almost a year. No such luck.
Allie has had lots of health problems. Severe reflux, a rare type of hepatitis, CMV, weird things the Drs, can't diagnose, lots of colds and of course she's teething which doesn't help. During the day she is the happiest, smartest, most independent kid I've ever seen. She laughs almost constantly and is fine playing by herself. I can't get enough of the kid, she's the love of my life. And my daughter has always been my best friend. We are so close that I feel her pain.
At night though it's a nightmare for Allie. They've been to tons of Drs. They've tried different types of sleep therapy. Now they are using the No Cry Sleep Solution, which is one of the most popular therapies for infants with sleep problems.
Anyway, we are all feeling pretty worn down by this and after being up all night last night, I just felt like sharing what's up. Any Moms out there have tips that worked for their little ones?
