Just when i thought the battle to sleep through the night was coming to an end, i find out that 9 months is a tough time for babies to sleep through the night. Most people say its the separation anxiety the babies are feeling. Others say its their discomfort from teething. Yet others say babies cry because they know they're going to be picked up. Its so hard to decipher whether or not Gabe really needs me or if he just wants to be picked up.
2 recommendations I got from people:
1) a book by Dr. Marc Weissbluth, "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child"
2) Fischer Price's light up seahorse that lights up and plays soothing lullabies.
I recommend them both 100%. For the sake of your own health/happiness and that of your baby, you both need a good night's sleep. I learned how important it is to instill good sleeping habits early on.
Amen, sister! :)
