Ok, I am new to this site. I have been reading posts and discovering my little girl belongs to the "wake up every hour at night club". I feel like I have not slept in a year. Which by the way is how old my precious child is. I breast fed her for 10 months. I thought after she started getting a bottle she would sleep more at night. NOT. She eats stage 3 baby food and anything she can get her hands on. Grazes, no huge meals. So, she is not hungry. She gets 2 or 3 naps during the day. about 1 1/2 hour each. She gets super tired around 7/8:00 Yeah!!! getting her to sleep isn't the problem. She will sleep for a couple hours +- then as soon as I lay my head down and take a deep sigh she pops her little head up and cries. Oh by the way, her crib is in our room. so, I get up, give her a bottle which she will only drink 3 ounces of, then lay her back down. no problem.....till an hour or so later then repeat. This goes on all night. Then, at 6:15 my alarm goes off, time to get my 11 year old off to school. They love to play. She (baby) is a very happy little girl, plays and laughs, we have a good time. She is very bright, understands ALOT. She knows when her big sister is coming home from school. She will start looking around for her in the afternoon. My husband is a wonderful help. When he is home he will let me take a long nap. He cooks 99.9% of the meals we eat (because he likes to). Yeah!!! You'd think what's the problem then. I can handle it most of the time but then you mix pms, sleep deprivation, and a very active baby and you get a very CRANKY mom I have rationalized every morning with every excuse you could think of: she is cutting teeth, she must have gas, she has poo poos, she is hungry, she just got her shots, she was cold, she was hot, she...........
We were lucky to have my oldest in her own room by the time she was one. Next time you hear "no two children are ever alike" BELIEVE it.
So...... what is the best method to keep baby sleeping thru the night?
Any good ideas will help.

P.s. is there a key to all the acronyms being used? I have figured out LO but not much more.
