Sleep Deprivation

So, my daughter has apparently decided that after months and months of being a dream baby, she no longer wants to sleep...ever. Like...ever ever. I'm scared. She slept through the night since she was 6-8 weeks old. Like, 8-10 hours a night most nights, and took 2 naps anywhere from 3-4 hours long. Now, she won't sleep...period. What do I do? I CANNOT cry it out. I just don't have the heart. I know some people may read this and wonder why I am complaining when she is probably just going through a phase and has otherwise been sleeping great since she was a newborn? 1 word. Ethan.

Wen Ethan was born, I thought like most normal babies there would be no reason for him not to be sleeping through the night by six months of age. Well, apparently I am the weakest link because that boy slept through the night once, when he was 10 months old, then not again until he was almost two. I really thought I got lucky with Cameron.

I NEED sleep. Seriously.

So, our Dr. said at a bout 6 months they start to figure out that you will come in when they cry! We went through about a week of sleepless nights and I went crazy! We started upping his cereal and food intake after 9 pm and would not let him eat until after 9 pm no matter what he wanted! My Dr. said if they eat a little later and a little more, then they will sleep for longer times and of course, you have to let her cry a little :(
