Baby Vent...
Ok... this is not a real question- but WILL MY 21 MONTH OLD EVER SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT?!?
I am so tired of getting up in the middle of the night- he'll go a week or two of sleeping all night (which just happened to be the 2 weeks our damn home alarm battery was low and it would beep at 2am every night until you'd get up and go hit cancel), then the very night I get it fixed he starts getting up again.... at least once.... he just wants me I think... but if I don't go in there then he gets really worked up and I don't sleep anyway... I am so tired... Taylor was tough to get to sleep for the first year (way harder then Colten), but at least it was a year and over! Dragging it out over 2 years is killing me!!!!
There... I feel better now, I just needed to vent!

Have 2 Kids- OH great, something to look forward to! Kindergarten!!
I think he just wants me, but I usually take him some warm milk and he'll drink a little- it seems to get him back to sleep- Taylor was tough for a year maybe less- but about 9 months old we stopped picking her up and giving her anything and we'd just pat her bottom- but it could take an hour of patting... and I just don't have the patience for that at this point... so I rock him and give him milk, and 10 mins later I put him down- 60% of the time he'll go right back to sleep... I have tried the crying it out, but I don't sleep when he screams for an hour + and I am afraid it will get Taylor up... so I am probably not helping my cause, but I am at a loss... pros and cons both ways I guess.....

Tator- I feel for you. Our daughter slept through the night from the day she was born.
Then our son came along. He did not sleep through the night until he was in kindergarten. We may have had a night here and there that he didn't get us up.

Tator, I think they have their weird waves girl. Maddie would sleep straight thru for a week and all of a sudden a bug goes up her toosh and she would wake up once or even twice a night. Usually that happens when she's not feeling well or something is going on. Right now she's got a cold (not flu), she's all stuffed up and her schedule is all shifted. She won't drink her bottle at night (yeah... still trying to wean her) but then wakes up at 3 am saying 'ta! ta!' (lechita=milky)... so there I go to get her her 'ta' and by the time we go back to sleep is like 3:30... mind you, I don't go to bed at night till almost 12 or 1 sometimes, so sleep deprivation is just consuming me!
I just tell hubby I will stay downstairs with her (her bedroom is downstairs) and sc.rew it! I hate waking up in the middle of the night and try to run down the staircase to get her... that's an accident waiting to happen!
Does Colten wake up and wants you to hold him? or is he hungry or thirsty? sometimes Maddie is just thirsty and when I hand her her water, she goes right back down.

Wow, that stinks. I do feel for you. I cannot imagine still getting up at night with Quinn. My little girl slept through the night at 4 months old and still does. I lucked out. Now with this pregnancy I am sure he will torment me all night to make up for my good fortune with my 3 year old. LOL
Oh dear, your scaring me....lol. Just kidding. I can't comment on this as haven't had this experience (yet!) but I do hope you both get a good nights sleep soon!!
If you know how to do it please tell me. Jayden gets up all throughout the night. But it's only because he has his molars coming in. But he still manages to wake up even before the teeth started to come in.
