spoiled or juz bein a baby??

Hey mommies.. hope all are well & FULLY RESTED, lol.. because i am not!!! So here goes, My 7mth old doesnt let me sleep! She wakes up at about 7 am.. until like 11 then sleeps until like 2 or 3 then her next nap is at like 6 or 7 then at like 9 n then she wont sleep til 1 or 2 in the morning!! &&&& she wont sleep unless shes sleepin in my bed or in my armss!! & i work so its soo much harder cuz i get home tired & cant rest!! how can i brake that habit?? another thing she does is, for example she wont sit in her walker, or lay on her gyms on the floor for no longer than 5-10min,, she starts crying. & shuts up wen shes carried & calmy watches tv or does anything as long as she is being carried!!

IMO... you are letting her sleep to much during the day... cut her naps in half!!

If she goes to sleep after 7pm it needs to be for teh nite, not for a nap!

I have no advice...sorry. But my 2 week old daughter does this same thing!!! Ahhh, I hope I haven't begun her on a habit!! I'm sure your daughter just loves you tonsss and misses her mama thats why she wants to be close.

Too much napping during the day. I think at that age they need one nap in the morning and one in the afternoon. May be try to get her to nap at 9:30 am at the latest, have her up at 11am for 3-4 hours during the day, and put her down for a nap at 3pm for an hour or so.That's what Dorian does and as for the night, I finally hit a wall one day, and let him cry it out. He only did it for 30 min one night and has slept through the night ever since. What about the bed time routine? How does that go?

You need to try to put her on a schedule and limit the amount of time she sleeps in the day. As for her crying in her walker and such that is normal. Babies do not have a long attention span. I think you should be happy she is crying for attention it means she is bonded to you.

You are deffo letting her sleep to long during the day time. Cut her naps back to only two naps...and limit them to like two hours, thats what I would do. Also, I would get her on a good bed time schedule. It will be hard at first but the payoff will be worth it. Good luck.

She is sleeping too much during the day...you also need to break the habit of her having to fall asleep in your arms so she doesn't depend on you everytime.

Oh mama I feel for you... your daughter sounds just like my son! He ALWAYS wanted to be held and would only sleep in my arms (naps included). Have you tried wearing her in a carrier (like a front facing baby bjorn) around the house so your hands are free? IMO she's not spoiled at all, it's just her personality and she deserves to be held and cuddled as much as she wants to... as she gets more mobile (crawling, walking etc.) she won't want tobe held as much and will be getting into things on her own.

With the sleeping in your arms thing, I waited it out and at 9 months I was finally able to set my son down once he was alseep while napping (this took LOTS of attempts over a period of time) and by 12 months I could lay him down when he was asleep at night, but now even at 15 months, he wakes up after 2 hrs and will only sleep in bed with me. Some kids are just like that I think.

As far as the napping issue goes, is it possible to push that 6-7pm nap up a little later & have her be down for the night? You could try to make it like 10 min later every day if you aren't able to just keep her awake through it till bedtime. Good luck... I wish I could be more help but we're still going through this stuff at 15 months in my house! LOL.  

well i know she does nap too much but! i cant help it because i work & my mom watches her & since she always wants to be carried that's the only way my mom can get anything done. when she sleeps..! & when i am off & it comes time when she usually naps.. Theres NOTHING i can do she KNOCKSSS out.. like shes drunk, lol!! to the point where i have her carried up & her heads bopping as she falls asleep.. (so cute, lol) & i reallly want to cut her naps & have her take 1 or 2 naps a day but shes not having it...!! & i love to cary my princess but it comes a point in time where its just tooo much & she cries at the top of her lungsss until shes picked up, i dont know how to approach it

Well, if she is with someone else during the day, it's tough to do it, but I think you need to tell your mom that she is messing with your baby's sleep habits and in the long run it will be hard to break as she gets older. I don't know, it's a tough situation, since it's your mom, but can you imagine going on like this for another 12 months?!

Approach everything slowly..start out slowly doing cio...if you believe in that, so that you don't have to hold her all the time.
I don't hold Addison all the time and she's fine just chilling by herself. I've had Addy on a solid sleeping schedule since she was one month old...it will be hard, but you can do it.

Omg Alexie went through the exact same recently! She only did it for two weeks though, thankfuly as of yesterday she went back to normal. Only thing is, I've become so used to going to sleep at early hours, by the time I get to sleep, she wakes within 2-3 hours so Im still getting the same lame sleep lol.
