Something has gone terribly wrong at our house- and I fear I have made some mistakes to add to the problem, oops.
Ethan used to sleep 9-10 hours a night... the past two weeks, not so much. I was lucky if he went 6 hours. I thought it was because he was sick, maybe he wasn't eating enough... I don't know. So here we are and this tired Momma needs sleep desperately. I thrive on 8 -9 hours of sleep. With that much sleep I can accomplish amazing things, without it I turn into a lazy, grouchy lump.
What to do, what to do, what to do...
Ethan got off his eating schedule a few weeks back, he used to eat 4-5 ounces every 3 hours. Then he decided he wanted to eat 1-2 ounces every hour or so. I feel like all I do is feed him all day and in the end he hardly eats.
So the book came out today, you know that amazing sleep, child training book called BabyWise?
So my new goals are:
1. Work on the routine of sleep, eat, play, repeat
2. Work on getting him to take a full feeding, 6 ounces every 4 hours
Wish us luck! and hopefully I can get a nap in today.

Good luck! I started using Babywise when my last one was about 6 months old, eating every 2-3 hours...and he was sleeping through the night in a very short amount of time! It has made things much better with Amelia--she sleeps better than my other kids did until they were at least 5 months old...
It's rough, though, when they "regress"! Mommas need sleep to be nice!
Good luck! Good sleep is better for everyone!
