night owl baby

Lately sleeping is incredibly difficult for me. It feels like my baby is most active when I am trying to sleep, which is anywhere around 10 pm or midnight, depending how late my husband works. It's driving me crazy! I don't know what to do to calm him down. It doesn't help that we eat dinner together late, either. :(

I heard that movement soothes them, just as if they were out of the womb. Hmm. I shall try gentle movements. Slow dancing sounds nice! I am most active on weekends when I work 8 hours. The week I am mostly free, I will try to do work out class but mostly I stay indoors to avoid the heat.

If my son is keeping late hours, which is often, I get out of bed and slow dance a little. It seems to soothe him. With you eating later though that may not help as much. Nutrients seem to give them a boost.

Rock back an forth it works for my little one who is active between 3am to 4am

Same here, baby doesn't settle down for about 2 hours after I lay down.

Aawww im sry. I have no suggestions but ur not alone.Im going threw the same thing. It happened with my last pregnancy also. I think the eating late doesnt help. But also are u active all day? I know I am and my baby girl only starts acting wild when I sit still. Difficult to ever get rest :(
