    Question My first melt down!

    I had my first little melt down last night!

    Savannah as always been a good sleeper at night she would fuss and I would get up yo feed her then put her back to bed and she would fuss again in 3 to 4 hours for another feed and go back to bed.

    Last night she didn't do that!

    I fed her and put her to bed at 9 and she slept until 1 after I fed her and put her back to bed I went back to bed she started fussing 20 minutes later I waited a few seconds before picking her up to see if she would go back to sleep but she started screaming!! So I tried to feed her again and all she wanted to do was hold my boob in her mouth. I let her lay that way for 15 minutes then I put her back to bed and then i went back to bed well she started screaming again 30 minutes later!! this went on all night!! when Dustin got up this morning he took her and told me to go take a nap for an hour or so before he goes to work as soon as I got in bed I heard her screaming I waited hoping she would settle down for him bed she didn't he came in and I took her and she stopped crying as soon as I was holding her!! I started crying because I was so tired and worn out! I slept with her on my cheat for about an hour in the rocking chair. Im now sitting here with her in my arms because if i put her down she will scream!!

    What do I do I need some sleep????

    i'm sorry sweetie, sometimes be a first time mommie and dealing with no sleep is overwhelming,, i just slept with mine next to me otherwise i wouldn't get any sleep.. i also nursed so it made it easier as the baby was eating i would sleep, when they were done i would roll over burp and do the other side, much more sleep that way,
    i wish you luck sweetie. you'll get thru this though

    She hates the pacifier now for some reason we have 3 different ones and she spits them out and if you try to give it to her she gets mad! her bassinet vibrates but it didn't work last night! The swing didn't work because as soon as I put her down she screamed!! I didn't try the bouncy seat though!

    Do you think she may have gas that's keeping her awake?

    Even with nothing wrong...there will just be some nights like that. I hope she gets back in her routine soon!!

    I dont think so miss but im not sure!! she had 2 poopy diapers last night and I was checking to see if she was pulling her legs up but she wasn't! I rubbed her tummy while she was laying in her bed but it didn't help!
