At the suggestion of a reader a couple of weeks back (sorry, I forgot who had the good idea) I’ve added a permanent open thread to the Sleep Log. If you have a question about Trixie’s sleep telemetry or sleep related questions in general, this is the place to post it. For example, Q: Why was she up at midnight and 4:30 in the morning last night? A: I have no idea.
You can post comments to this story directly, and — once it rolls off the front page — you can use the new link in Trixie Telemetry called “Comments” which will pop open the comments for this post.

THIS IS THE SLEEP OPEN THREAD. If you have a question/comment related to sleep, you’re in the right place.
2 Mary // Nov 14, 2004 at 10:27 am
These are questions from somebody who doesn’t have kids yet. When Trixie wakes up in the middle of the night, does one of you *always* go check on her? Are there times when she’s just awake for such a short period that she goes right back to sleep without either of you ever getting up to check on her? When she wakes up, are you aware that she’s awake because she cries every time or does she ever wake up and make babbling sounds instead?
I ask these questions because the number one complaint I hear from new parents is how exhausted they are, particularly from getting up in the middle of the night. (Mind you, 90% of the stuff I hear from new parents is all positive, but that’s the main complaint).
So, I wonder… how often DO parents get a full nights sleep?
There was actually a whole episode of “Mad About You” dedicated to whether they should go right to their baby when she cries in the night or wait a while first and then go check on her. They waited a while and felt anxiety the whole time as she cried & then they felt guilty when she finally fell asleep without them checking on her. Parents just can’t win.
If you or any of your readers have any thoughts on my questions, I’d be interested to read them. Thanks!
3 benmac // Nov 14, 2004 at 12:25 pm
90% positive? Those parents are lying to you. You have to remember that having kids is like a pyramid scheme. As soon as you have one of your own, you immediately try to convince your friends to do the same so that you can all be trapped together.
If Trixie cries out, then one of us (Jennifer) will go to see what the hell is going on. Usually we (Jennifer) just have to lay her back down and she’ll go back to sleep. I record these short wake-ups on the sleep log.
If Trixie is stirring, maybe making mumbling noises but doesn’t cry out, then we don’t go in, and I don’t record it as a wake-up on the sleep log.
Anyway, to answer your question, the answer is never. I never get a full night’s sleep because I’m a night person and I always stay up too late. You think I would learn after 15 months and start going to bed at 8:30 but that’s not going to happen. Hope this helps!
4 Mary // Nov 14, 2004 at 4:15 pm
Thanks! LOVE your honesty!! You’re right about the pyramid scheme… we get the “So, when are YOU TWO gonna have kids?” question pretty often. I think many people think “If you know you WANT them, why wait? Have them RIGHT NOW.”
My husband & I are both night people. I’ve wondered how parenting goes for night owls. It seems as though as a parent your sleep schedule HAS TO work around the baby’s sleep schedule. Is that right? One of the parents has to always be awake when the baby is awake, right? I just can’t imagine how long a baby can entertain itself in the crib after it wakes up. Of course, if a baby wakes up *crying* every time then the parents wake up too anyway. Maybe that’s why babies cry every time they wake up - it could be an evolutionary type natural response that helps to alert the parents that baby is awake so they won’t get into baby mischief while the parents sleep.
I once heard a certain celebrity in an interview say that he absolutely loves the sound of his baby’s cry & that it warms his heart every time. He said he couldn’t understand how anybody could be annoyed by the sound of their baby’s cry. I thought this was unusual because I have seen so many parents get irritated when their babies won’t stop crying. And then I realized, “This dude is TOTALLY rich. He makes albums & he’s on a TV show & he is probably away from home for many days or WEEKS at a time, so when he sees his baby he’s so excited to be with it again that it’s ALL good.” Plus, he can afford LOTS of help around the house.
I learned in a psychology class that women are much more alert to a baby’s cry than men. Does that seem true to you?
Okay, one last thing in this post (I have more, but I’ll spread the questions out over time
… When you wake up in the middle of the night to log Trixie’s sleep (when she wakes up and wakes you guys up), how do you log it in the middle of the night? Do you actually get up and go to your computer? Maybe Jen does that? Or, do you jot it down on paper and add it to the log in the computer the next morning? Or, do you mentally remember it & add it in later?
I remember you said you press just one key, but I wondered if you were even awake enough in the middle of the night to press a key.
5 benmac // Nov 14, 2004 at 7:25 pm
I always add it the next morning based on memory. It’s surprisingly easy to remember at what time a screaming baby woke you up in the middle of the night.
6 hannah // Nov 14, 2004 at 7:52 pm
Been dying to use your new feature - now I have a reason to - What gives with Trixie’s new and not-improved one-hour/day nap schedule? Doesn’t she know that is unacceptable?
7 Rozanne // Nov 15, 2004 at 1:08 pm
I take full credit for the sleep thread comments idea!
Thank you for adding this feature–I guess I’m looking to commiserate on the sleep issues.
Mary, I’m in complete agreement with Ben–I haven’t gotten a full night’s sleep since my son was born. My son still does not sleep through the night. I just didn’t get that model of kid even though I’m sure that I included that in my order.
8 tj // Nov 15, 2004 at 4:21 pm
I’ve been starting to wonder if my son is the only kid that doesn’t sleep through the night yet. His friends do (all girls), and I know he can do it because in the past almost year (his birthday is coming up) he has done it four, maybe five times. That’s IT. We’ve been going from waking and nursing every two hours (until 6-7 months old) to waking and nursing 3 times a night, then twice, sometimes up to three times, now once. Usually he goes right back to sleep but then there are nights (like this past one) when he just seems not to be able to fall back asleep - unless, that is, I lie down next to him and he nurses/sucks for I-don’t-know-how-long, sleeping of course. He will wake up in a perfectly good mood, ready for some action, while all I can think of is how to get my eyes to open. Oh well, I could write a whole book, but I will spare you.
Long story short: You get used to it, and yes, I do go to bed at 8.30 quite frequently because I don’t look, let alone function so well as a zombie.
9 Sarah // Nov 15, 2004 at 6:12 pm
It took until 10 months for my daughter to sleep through the night. We started a cry it out program at 4 months after being converted from thinking we would never do that but after 4 months of waking every two hours I just wanted to enjoy my daugther instead of always feeling so miserable. By 5 months she was waking only once a night but we let that last nursing drop naturally and it didn’t happen until 10 months. I can’t tell you how womderful it is to be able to stay up until 10:00pm and still get enough sleep to feel rested. I credit the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth with saving my sanity. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I wish I had read it before Meg was born but it discusses sleep habits up to age 3.
Sarah
10 Jamie // Nov 15, 2004 at 6:47 pm
My wife and I were really lucky. Our daughter has slept through the night (9+ hours) since she was 6 weeks old. In fact, she might have started earlier, but we were actually waking her up once in the night to feed her. We had a much more difficult time getting her to nap during the day, though. That took a lot of work, with routine and consistency being the main tools. Also, she just started sleeping more once she began crawling. I guess it tires them out.
11 aidens momma // Nov 15, 2004 at 7:06 pm
im right with jamie in the sleep patterns. Aiden has slept thru the night since he was like 8 weeks old. but naps? yea right momma. he is now 10.5 months old and we are just getting regular 2 1hour naps a day.
12 Caius // Nov 17, 2004 at 10:10 pm
Brand new dad (just under 3 weeks) here. Our daughter sleeps great…during the day, but forget about it in the evening. 7-9pm is always a struggle to get her to sleep. Then she wakes up at 11:00 PM every 2-3 hours after that. It’s like clockwork. The hardest part is getting her back to sleep after we change her and feed her. Unless my wife holds her she won’t sleep for more than 5 minutes at a time. But, like I said she never has this problem during the day
Sigh…
13 tj // Nov 18, 2004 at 10:20 am
Caius, don’t worry, it will get better. Your little one can’t differentiate between day and night yet. She will learn! My son had some issues with sleep and first the No Cry Sleep Solution helped, but later I found the Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child more helpful. It teaches you to teach your child how to sleep. Mind you, I thought the introduction to that book was a little extreme, but you don’t have to follow it to the letter. Generally, though, this book made a lot of sense and my son is doing much better. Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS! You will have so much fun.
14 Jenie // Nov 23, 2004 at 8:40 am
Wow…middle of the night party for Trixie??
15 benmac // Nov 23, 2004 at 8:59 am
Party, screamfest. same difference. We have no idea what happened last night. It might be teething, but I think it’s more likely that Trixie is just spiting my sleep research.
16 hannah // Nov 23, 2004 at 2:08 pm
OMG! What was that middle of the night party about last night? So sorry.
17 hannah // Dec 1, 2004 at 11:11 am
I am obsessed w/Trixie’s middle of the night waking. What do you think is going on?
Hannah
18 benmac // Dec 1, 2004 at 11:18 am
We have no idea. Her overnight schedule is much worse now than say, a month ago. We’re hoping it’s teething, but we can’t really see/feel anything.
19 Michelle // Dec 1, 2004 at 12:58 pm
I, too, blame teething when we can manage to dish up no other reasonable alternative. My son is a couple of weeks older than Trixie and we’ve basically given up figuring out what causes the random middle-of-the-night stirrings. Seems like he’ll sleep well for a few weeks (6-8 hours at a stretch) and then we’re back to waking at midnight and at 3am for no clear reason. I do believe teething is often a contributing factor though and we have found Baby Oragel to help a bit. However, I am secretly convinced it may just be a desire on my son’s part to make us truly appreciate the nights we get to sleep all the way through.
One other possibility is the beginning of nightmares. Our son usually wakes grunting and wiggling in his crib which turns into a complaining cry. The other night though, he woke screaming like a banshee for no apparent reason. My husband and I both had to get up, turn on all the lights, turn on the TV and talk to him for like 5 minutes before he’d calm down! I am convinced he had some sort of bad dream. I know I can remember being that terrified by dreams in my childhood and terror is the only way to describe how he was crying. Hopefully, this is not the case for Trixie, but it’s something to look out for!
20 Leslie // Dec 1, 2004 at 1:29 pm
Graham has had some sleep regression too. His is most clearly related to an ongoing hunger strike against any non-cookie and milk items. Since dinner consists of neither - he wakes at 3am screaming and signing for milk and “more” (his word for hungry). Nevertheless at dinnertime he simply looks at the food, waves “bye-bye” and dumps it over the edge of his tray to our eagerly anticipating labrador retriever. It’s pretty frustrating and I’d welcome any tips from anyone with bright ideas on the subject.
21 Kristian's mom // Dec 1, 2004 at 11:18 pm
I’m almost positive that at this age ..over 9 months..it’s teething that wakes them up in the middle of the night. My son began teething at 4 months and got his first 2 teeth just before he was 5 months old. At 14 months all he needs is 2 more and he’s done teething until the 2 year molars. ALL of his night waking has ALWAYS been teething. We are positive because the teeth have always followed the waking within a week or so…although the molars took a little longer.
Having said this though..I’ve also read that after a year it’s common for them to wake more in the night due to more activity, more alertness, more awareness etc. They just want to be awake more to take everything in and sometimes they get restless and wake up.
In any case these are my opinions and my experiences. All children are different and after all isn’t parenting just one big guessing game?? I always say “if in doubt blame it on teething”.
A full uninterrupted night of sleep is always nice though. My problem now is that even though my child sleeps through I wake up anyway..it’s parental programming I think. sigh…
22 emdub // Dec 5, 2004 at 11:39 am
oh great.. I have a 4 week old and was looking forward to the mythical 8 week mark where they are supposed to “sleep through the night…” it sure sounds like a myth!
We have not had it bad, we sleep in shifts.. I do midnight to 7 am, my husband does 7am to noonish, since he has a very flexible work schedule. But I would like to sleep with my husband again someday… : )
23 Becky // Dec 15, 2004 at 7:51 pm
Not to jinx it, but Trixie has had amazingly regular afternoon naps for about 5 days now. What’s the trick??
24 benmac // Dec 15, 2004 at 8:06 pm
Don’t worry, we don’t believe in jinxes around here. Yes, this is the most consistent sleep schedule Trixie has ever had. If you look back over the sleep chart for the last month, you can see that she has been struggling with making the transition to one nap a day. But that one nap a day often came too early. This past week we decided to push her to stay up until nap time (1:00) and it seems to be paying off. I’m going to write more about this next week, but thanks for noticing the progress!
25 hannah // Dec 16, 2004 at 10:59 am
Yes, congratulations are in order. I too had noticed Trixie’s “ideal” sleep pattern. I felt so relieved b/c I remember telling you when she was younger that her naps would regularize, be predictable and longer, and then it never happened and Trixie had made a liar out of me. Thanks for making me an honest woman, Trixie. Oh yeah, and for making your parents’ lives easier.
26 Jeff // Dec 23, 2004 at 10:04 am
Dang… I thought for a moment that I was the only one recognizing the two week trend in sleep schedules. It’s actually pretty amazing if you look past the last few months to see how it has normalized.
27 Maddie's Mom // Jan 5, 2005 at 4:49 pm
What’s up with the mini-wakeups? Is Trixie teething? Thank goodness she goes back to sleep fairly quickly…
28 benmac // Jan 5, 2005 at 4:57 pm
It’s when she falls out of bed.
29 lori // Jan 5, 2005 at 5:12 pm
Yes…about the minute-at-a-time “awake” times…I was wondering the same thing. I’ve noticed this for a while now and have been meaning to ask (although I believe they were happening some time before she started falling/dropping out of bed). So, how do you really know that she’s up for a minute or two during the night, especially if she’s not thumping to the floor & waking you up?
30 benmac // Jan 5, 2005 at 5:26 pm
Oh, we know she’s up because we hear her thumping to the floor and then she starts crying. One of us has to go in and put her back in bed.
31 dearsarah // Jan 5, 2005 at 6:55 pm
Im still waiting for the story of the one nap a day transition. How did you know when Trixie was ready to shed the morning nap. I sometimes think Francy is heading in this direction but then it’s impossible to keep her up til 1:00pm without her falling apart. How does Trixie hold up durring the day? Does she seem more irritable?
Sarah
32 Becky // Jan 5, 2005 at 7:27 pm
So what you are telling us is that Trixie isn’t really the learning machine we were all believing her to be, but in fact, the night of December 20 was just a fluke? My vote in the previous poll wasn’t so wrong after all!!
33 aidens momma // Jan 5, 2005 at 9:56 pm
okay ben..it doesnt belong here but ah well. heres a question that i dont *think* you have ever addressed: how do you and jen deal with punishing/discipline her? we are trying different things out with aiden (just 1). so far time out is all that seems to work. he is so pigheaded that actual yelling doesnt work, he laughs at us. great, aye? he has a temper to begin with an when he is the least bit tired or hungry, we end up with him biting or headbutting to get his way. the terrible twos scare me. sooooo…back to the original point. what do you guys do? is trixie almost always the sweet angel you show? you dont have to go into it, but as another first time parent im kinda curious what is working for others. thx!!
34 benmac // Jan 5, 2005 at 10:10 pm
dearsarah: Good idea. I will put together a story. In the meantime, basically what happened for us is that I let Trixie go to sleep in the morning when she wanted to. (usually about 9:30 or 10) But then she stopped taking a second nap. After a couple of days (weeks?) of this, I started making her stay up until after lunch. That’s how I decided she was ready.
Becky: It’s definitely not a black and white situation. There was a week or so where there were no falls. It seems like she’s regressing a little (or maybe drinking.)
aidens momma: Good story idea. I’ll see what I can do. In the meantime, it’s a bad idea to yell. As soon as they see that they can manipulate you (i.e. make you turn red with steam coming out of your ears), then they’ve won. We do use time-out and taking away silky (her blanket) to some effect.
35 Dave // Jan 10, 2005 at 9:01 am
Ben, so I take it she is still falling with all the quick wake ups in the night? Does she wonder out of bed or the room (do you close her door?) in the mornings? Just curious because she went to a big girl bed out of necessity earlier than most kids (also do you plan on getting a real bed now…?)
36 Summer // Jan 10, 2005 at 6:46 pm
Dear Sarah– i have an 18 month old, and to go from 2 - 1 nap is hard… what i did was put her to sleep early, around 11 and then put her to bed early too. That way she gets enough sleep and isn’t overtired.
37 benmac // Jan 10, 2005 at 8:48 pm
Dave: I’m not sure she’s falling out of bed when it happens around 6am. We think she’s just waking up too early. But in the middle of the night, yes, that’s most likely a fall. We’re currently using a gate across her door, and I think we’re going to move on to big bed soon.
38 Maddie's Mom // Jan 10, 2005 at 11:46 pm
Does Trixie have a bed time or bed time routine? I notice that she goes to bed a little after nine most nights, but tonight it was a bit later. And congrats on the three hour nap the other day. What I’d give for one of those (for me or Maddie!).
39 Summer // Jan 10, 2005 at 11:48 pm
Maddie’s Mom, how old is Maddie?
40 benmac // Jan 11, 2005 at 1:44 pm
Her bedtime is 8-8:15ish. It’s not going so well lately.
41 Summer // Jan 11, 2005 at 1:54 pm
Ben Where do i post just a general comment or question? Like, what are Trixie’s favorite toys, books? I don’t want to put it here in the sleep section but i’m not sure where else to put it!
42 Elaine // Jan 11, 2005 at 4:55 pm
Must know MORE about Trixie….
43 benmac // Jan 11, 2005 at 6:59 pm
I guess Frequently Asked Questions is the best place for that.
44 mom2four // Jan 12, 2005 at 6:17 am
Why not get a bedrail for her so she doesn’t fall out of bed?
45 benmac // Jan 12, 2005 at 7:57 am
I keep hoping she’ll learn.
46 Chris // Jan 12, 2005 at 9:00 am
Ben, my daughter ended up using a bedrail ’til she was six. She learned a lot of other things in that time — to read and write, to rollerskate, to count in Hebrew and Spanish in addition to English, etc. She is and was a really active sleeper and the bedrail kept her from tumbling out. It wasn’t like she was trying to get out — but once she was out, she’d wake up and wander.
47 benmac // Jan 12, 2005 at 9:19 am
Actually, I think we’re going to go with Frum Dad’s slings and guy wires suggestion. It’s the only way to be sure.
48 hannah // Jan 12, 2005 at 11:02 am
i agree with chris, i think trixie is a sleep olympian. eliot took to the big bed immediately, and only fell out twice. fortunately for us there was some force field that kept him in the bed even if he was awake until we got him out in the morning. unfortunately for us this force field has weakened and he has walked into our room in the morning a few times. our defenses are seriously compromised…
49 Laurie // Jan 14, 2005 at 12:01 am
I read somewhere that the magic number for sleeping through the night is 12 pounds. Our baby sleep for her first 7 hour stretch the first night she broke the 12 pound mark. No, really - the next day we had a 2 month doctor’s appt and she weighed in at 12.06 pounds.
Also, formula made big difference for us. I am not the milk producing fountain I hoped for - I’ve never been able to meet demand and we opted to supplement with formula. Almost from the very begining, our Pee Wee would sleep 2-4 hours on breast milk, and on formula, 4-6. Now she sleeps 8-12 hours regardless, but that’s another story.
50 old hannah // Jan 15, 2005 at 4:21 pm
Looks like Trixie is feeling better based on her sleep last night and today? I hope this is what the pattern indicates! And not that she’s merely collapsed from sheer exhaustion and/or the baby sleeping agents you dosed her with.
p.s. let’s face it - I’m just old hannah. Although I long to be cool and old school I’m really just old and we all know it - hence my new new name.
51 benmac // Jan 16, 2005 at 7:19 pm
Yep, the sleep chart tells all. We’re doing better. Now let’s hear some more about those baby sleeping agents, because Benadryl wasn’t cutting it.
Also, are you sure you want to be old hannah? That doesn’t sound like you at all.
52 Jo // Jan 17, 2005 at 8:52 am
“old” hannah, how about Sr.Hannah. You can’t be old, because I’m not and I think I was born before you!!
53 Stephanie // Jan 17, 2005 at 9:08 pm
Congratulations to Trixie’s favorite book, Knuffle Bunny, which was awarded a Caldecott Honor earlier today!
“This energetic comedy, illustrated with an unconventional combination of sepia-tone photographs and wry cartoon ink sketches, charms both parents and children.” -from the American Library Association website
Now that we know she has excellent taste in picture books, I’ll be waiting for her nominations for next year’s Caldecotts.
54 hannah // Jan 18, 2005 at 9:39 am
or i could be jr hannah, would that clear things up?
55 lori // Jan 18, 2005 at 11:01 am
hannah: I’ve always enjoyed your comments and have been a realtively long-time reader myself. About this name thing…I wouldn’t consider you “old hannah.” I doubt you’re very old anyway. I liked “old school hannah” better (didn’t make you seem OLD), but after reading the new feature, About Us, I much prefer “long-time reader hannah.” It’s a little lengthy, so if you wanted to, you could go with “ltr hannah.” Hmmm… *now* that looks like “letter hannah!” Gee, this IS harder than it should be. I thought it was such a great name when I said it out loud. Well, maybe this will prompt a better idea. We should have some off-line TTU poll (I know how much you love those polls!). Good luck.
56 hannah // Jan 18, 2005 at 12:43 pm
i really didnt mean to throw a wrench into things. i was pleased to see there was another adult hannah, since all the hannahs i know right now are sassy toddlers. im up for a vote to rename, and i can certainly be the one getting a new name. what about haeshu? its my general login/id for just about everything. would that work for people?
57 old school hannah, by popular request // Jan 18, 2005 at 3:37 pm
Geeze - didn’t know my self-deprecating humor would cause such tumult. But glad to know I am loved and that no one really knows how o-l-d I really am. Let’s put it this way, the OB’s refer to me as being in the “advanced maternal age” group. Maybe I should be “advanced maternal age hannah.” New Hannah, don’t feel bad! You didn’t cause trouble by being you. I will be old school hannah. I think it’s really funny, actually.
Oh, and by the way, all, I was originally
“old school” hannah
indicating my ironic po-mo weltanschauung, until Benmac’s site couldn’t handle the quotes and I brought the whole site down. Alas, I am old school hannah sans quotes.
Whew - glad that’s settled.
58 lori // Jan 18, 2005 at 7:19 pm
Hannah, I didn’t mean to cause you any grief. It was my own confusion and that’s why I put in my 2 cents (above) to O.S. Hannah. Sorry.
I wouldn’t have known otherwise unless had benmac mentioned it. And, since I couldn’t tell the difference, I’ve enjoyed your comments, too. Glad all is well!
P.S. I’ve noticed there’s a Lori/Laurie posting comments recently. Thank goodness we can all differentiate us!
59 Becky // Jan 18, 2005 at 7:35 pm
Sorry we got so far off topic in this sleep thread, Ben, but… I was slightly saddened today when there was another “Becky”. From April when I started visiting the site until now, I had been the only one!
60 benmac // Jan 18, 2005 at 9:31 pm
Even though it’s off-topic, this is an important issue. We’re experiencing some growing pains, and I appreciate you guys working it out. There are technical solutions, like moving the site from Movable Type to something like Scoop, but Lord knows I don’t want to eat up my time with that right now.
If I were to choose, I would rather ‘new’ hannah go by ‘haeshu’ just because that’s unique. Also because ‘old school’ hannah already has hundreds of existing comments on the site already attributed to the name ‘hannah’.
You guys are a huge part of this site. And each voice is unique. I think everyone appreciates being able to tell comments apart — especially when the rest of us get to know you. So I hope this helps for now. If site growth continues, I will have to implement a real fix, but I think we’re ok for now.
61 aidens momma // Feb 2, 2005 at 9:13 pm
ben, whats up with the middle of the night wake ups? don’t tell me shes sick again, or falling outta bed for that matter!!
62 benmac // Feb 2, 2005 at 9:19 pm
I don’t think she’s falling out because we have a soft chair pushed against the bed now. My best guess is nightmares. She goes right to sleep when we lay her back down.
63 hannah // Feb 4, 2005 at 9:47 am
Trixie -
What gives? Why were you awake sooooooooo much last night? Naughty naughty.
64 aidens momma // Feb 4, 2005 at 10:02 am
aiddy was up a bunch last night too, maybe its something in the air?
65 benmac // Feb 4, 2005 at 12:07 pm
Trixie was a little bit sick yesterday (24-hour bug, hopefully) and it kept her (and us) from sleeping well.
66 Jane Maze // Feb 5, 2005 at 8:26 pm
No, I wasn’t thinking where does he get time for this - I have to admit I was thinking: this person is somewhat odd. And it’s the “somewhat odd” people who really make the Internet worth bothering with. So bravo to this strange and interesting document.
67 Maddie's Mom // Feb 8, 2005 at 2:35 pm
I see a morning nap…did daycare wear her out that much? Was it in the car on the way home? At least she went down for a second nap…poor, tired girl!
68 benmac // Feb 8, 2005 at 2:57 pm
No, unfortunately it was at the daycare. If she acts tired they let her rest. I’m hoping things will stabilize after a couple more days. BTW, at home I couldn’t get her to take a nap at 10:30am if I paid her.
69 Summer // Feb 8, 2005 at 3:15 pm
So, do they tell you when she slept there so you can post it here??! Or do you spy in the daycare window and make a note of when she falls asleep and wakes up?
70 benmac // Feb 8, 2005 at 3:25 pm
No, I didn’t find out until I picked her up. But the window idea is a good one
71 lori // Feb 8, 2005 at 7:07 pm
If I were you, Ben, I’d be catching a few extra zzzzzz’s myself now that Trixie is out of the AM picture. Maybe recover from all those sleepless nights of precious REM time you & Jenn lost…
72 FrumDad // Feb 9, 2005 at 11:48 am
We had Rachel at morning playgroup for about four months a while ago. She *loved* the people and the other kids, but she would get so wound up and then play so energetically that she would drop for a nap around 11:00 and take a solid 90 minute nap. Part of me resented paying the day care lady so she could watch my daughter sleep (Heck, I’d do that for free!) but it turned out to be worth it. Days she *wasn’t* at playgroup she wouldn’t go down if you shot her with a dart.
–FD
73 Abbycat // Feb 9, 2005 at 5:01 pm
Geez, my little gal sleeps even less at daycare than she does at home. Of course, she likes daddy to rock her to sleep, and they can’t do that at daycare
74 Amy // Feb 11, 2005 at 9:14 pm
Question: did anyone with a properly “sleep trained” child encounter trouble when you lowered the mattress in the crib? DD is screaming like a banshee at the moment–has eaten properly, it’s DEFINITELY bedtime, and the only difference is that dratted crib lowering–oh, and the presence of a grandmother who has nervous attacks when she hears babies crying and is sequestering herself in the basement muttering curses at baby’s parents.
75 Maddie's Mom // Feb 11, 2005 at 11:50 pm
Maddie had problems with sleeping once we removed her bumper…she apparently would run her hand along the bumper as she put herself to sleep. With it gone, she’d run her hand across the bars. Not as comforting, apparently. Eventually, she got used to it.
76 Amy // Feb 14, 2005 at 11:43 pm
Ah, the comforting bumper dilemma. We have this too, I fear. She has a friendly elephant head on the bumper that she hugs. Fortunately, Trixie’s crafty friend made a stuffed animal that looks just like it, so I’m hoping to try and replicate it before Project Bumper Removal. At the moment, the falling-to-sleep problem is compounded by post-grandparent excitement and an evening during which the baby was held for 3 hours to prevent crying (and, of course sleep) by aforementioned grandmother. I guess we just have to make it back through this rough spot. Sigh. Thanks for the “been there,” Maddie’s Mom!
77 dearsarah // Feb 26, 2005 at 10:05 am
Is it possible? 10:00am? Ive been up sense 5:50 the last few days. (how are babies so consistant that way) I thought maybe it was the full moon but clearly not….
Sarah
78 benmac // Feb 26, 2005 at 11:29 am
No such luck. Trixie didn’t really sleep in until 10am this morning — I just didn’t have access to a computer, and my RTO must of had a late night;)
79 Maddie's Mom // Mar 8, 2005 at 12:32 am
Up early yesterday and down late…with a nap of less than an hour? Come on, Trixie! How can I persuade Maddie that she needs to get more sleep if you’re not doing it on your end of the country, huh? Everytime I read about how much sleep a 19 month old needs, I just look at the sleep log and know that Maddie isn’t alone in her wakefulness. Are there really any toddlers who get over 12 hours a night and 2-3 hour naps too!?
80 Summer // Mar 8, 2005 at 9:47 am
I thought for that age, it was about 11 hours at night, then a 1-3 hour nap in the day…..
81 aidens momma // Mar 8, 2005 at 10:09 am
i dont know how much sleep they are supposed to get, but i do know that aiden (14.5 months) goes to bed between 6:30-8pm and gets up between 7-8am. he takes a 2 hour nap during after lunch. sometimes that ends up as 2 1 hour naps if he cant make it til after lunch. depends how busy we are. i think it all depends on the kid, cause if aiden doesnt get atleast 12 hours at night he is an utter bear the next day. and hes ALWAYS been like that.
82 2 girl mama // Mar 8, 2005 at 10:43 am
(new here) I was thinking the EXACT same thing. How in the world does she make it through playing hard at daycare without crashing!?? My 2 1/2 year old (no daycare) sleeps 12 hrs at night and still takes a nap from 1:30-3:30 everyday. She is a beast by 2 and falling over shes so exausted. I can imagine if she went to daycare in the mornings, she’d be falling asleep onteh way home! My 9 Mo old sleeps from 8:30-7:30 and still takes two 1 1/2 hour naps. BTW ben i’m new here and she is PRECIOUS! I love having girls and I know you are enjoying yours. Any talk of another?? I know you’ve probably been asked that a million times, but i’m a newbie!
83 dearsarah // Mar 8, 2005 at 5:19 pm
Now thats more like it! nearly 3 hours. Pretty good.
I look at the sleep charts and wonder the same thing. My baby has yet to ever sleep for 12 hours. Im guess when she’s a teen ager she will make up for all of it.
84 lori // Mar 18, 2005 at 5:31 pm
Trixie’s nap time seems to be more consistent lately, albeit after the initial “adjustment” since she started day care. That’s great! I’ve noticed she’s been napping a good 1-2 hours of sleep in the afternoons. Whatever your secret is, Ben, it’s working!
When the whole subject of nap time came up (here on TTU) with the change from 2 naps per day (NPD) to 1 NPD, I couldn’t help but be reminded of my nap days. I vividly recall my Grandma “making” me take my naps (for at least an hour), and in return, I got to watch my fav TV show: Sesame Street. (Just between you & me, I don’t think I ever told her I didn’t always “nap” - I would just lay there on the bed and stare around the room…or play VERY quietly so she wouldn’t feel she needed to check on me.)
Ahh, the memories we have from our childhood! Keeping up with Trixie & friends usually brings back so many wonderful memories from my childhood.
85 cynfred // Mar 22, 2005 at 12:02 am
Desi has never slept for long periods of times. Naptime hardly exists here. I’m lucky if I get her to sleep half an hour without me laying with her. Today she woke up at 7. She catnapped while I was nursing her. I lay down with her and she instantly wants to play. She had one half hour nap today. This is a typical day!!!! Any suggestions?
86 Carabeth // Mar 22, 2005 at 2:21 am
How old is Desi? and how is she otherwise, does she need the sleep. Amelia, (who is 13 mo now) wouldn’t sleep or nap on her own for months. i can’t remember, when it slowed down, but even now she’ll sometimes wake herself up out of a sound sleep if she notices i’m not beside her. I just ended up laying with her, or holding her and resigning myself to it. she now takes one 2 hr nap and another ranging from 1/2 to 1.5 hrs. I have also heard rumours of babies who just don’t need much sleep…
87 cynfred // Mar 22, 2005 at 7:52 am
Desi is almost 7 months.
88 Elizabeth // Apr 4, 2005 at 12:47 pm
Does Trixie have a bedtime routine? How do you decide what time to put her to bed?
89 benmac // Apr 5, 2005 at 1:37 pm
The evening routine is:
6:00 dinner
7:00 bath, brush teeth
7:30 bedroom: read books
8:00 bedtime
We shoot for this schedule every night, but as you can see, it doesn’t always work.
90 hannah // Apr 7, 2005 at 11:05 am
I’m sure you’re asking yourself the same question, but WTF is up w/the 5:40 waking??? No carseat lockpicking rewards today for that naughty rooster.
91 Sam // Apr 7, 2005 at 2:45 pm
OMG so sorry she is such a morning person. I know this sounds horrible but have you tried children’s allergy meds? Just before bed give her a dose during this time. It won’t harm her because it’s just an anti histamine (can’t spell it sorry) and the other is what people use for sleeping pills. Just use the smallest dose. I’ve used this with much success when a sleeping schedule is out of wack–you only do it a couple of nights though or you’ll end up getting the child hooked emotionally on benadryl.
92 Judy // Apr 7, 2005 at 3:00 pm
Ben - I have a morning person here - he’s 5.5 years old. It isn’t a HORRIBLE thing…after all, there will come a time when she will NEED to be awake early in the morning (school here starts around 7:30). Just stick to your routine, and it will all work out…eventually. I’ll let you know when that time comes here! HAHA
93 Michele // Apr 7, 2005 at 4:43 pm
Sabrina is TOTALLY an early bird. And her father and I are TOTALLY not! I knew she’d do things to spite us, but I didn’t think she’d start so soon.
94 benmac // Apr 7, 2005 at 11:37 pm
There’s no explanation for the 5:40 wake-up. We tried like hell to get her to lay down with us and go back to sleep. She tossed and turned in our bed for about 30 minutes, but never went back to sleep.
Sam: I’m a big fan of Benadryl, but I try not to give her more than 7 to 8 teaspoons a day.
95 Jo // Apr 8, 2005 at 10:53 am
Ben, congratulations on curbing your instincts to give more than 7 or 8 tsps. a day. I knew you would do the right thing!!!
96 Maggie // Apr 17, 2005 at 12:24 pm
Has Trixie realy been asleep for 12h? My Goodness! I can’t even sleep that long!
97 benmac // Apr 17, 2005 at 1:53 pm
Oops! I wish. We were out playing this morning. Thanks for the head’s up
98 Maddie's Mom // Apr 21, 2005 at 10:01 am
OK…who’s sleeping until 10? Trixie or Ben?
99 benmac // Apr 21, 2005 at 10:24 am
Maddie’s Mom: Thanks - I’ve only been getting about 4 hours of sleep a night since the beta launched, and a few things are sleeping through the cracks.
100 benmac // Apr 21, 2005 at 10:25 am
slipping through the cracks*
101 lori // Apr 21, 2005 at 1:03 pm
I liked “sleeping through the cracks.”
Oh, and Bravo Ben! What dedication.
102 Judy // May 1, 2005 at 4:04 pm
Wowee zowee - Trixie had a night last night like my youngest - he was up screaming three times last night.
Sorry for your lack of sleep - hope tonight is better (for all of us!).
103 benmac // May 1, 2005 at 7:24 pm
Jenn has been out of town for work the past couple of nights and Trixie really missed her. Last night was her first night back, and Trixie came into our room several times around 4 in the morning to make sure that Mommy was still there.
104 Judy // May 1, 2005 at 11:38 pm
That is really sweet! Hopefully tonight will be much better, then!
105 kara // May 18, 2005 at 2:50 pm
remember that first time when you wake up on your own and not to baby noise? Ours went something like this…
K: oh my god! The sun is out (elbows hubby in ribs)
hubby: mfjhfkurhfffph
K: hey, wake up, the sun is out
hubby: yeah?
K: no the sun is out and Maggie’s not awake
hubby: yeah?
K: go check on her
hubby: huh?
K: no, really, go check on her now- It’s freaking me out
hubby: huh? (grunts and stretches)
K: no, really- go now- I can’t do it.
hubby: [inaudable]
K: oh. you’re useless! (gets up and storms into babys room. watches baby sleep. still freaked out).
Is that what it was like on Sunday when she slept until 9:30?
106 Rozanne // May 18, 2005 at 9:03 pm
OMG! Somehow I missed the fact that Trixie slept until 9:40 on Sunday morning! I’m SO jealous!!
107 Michele // May 18, 2005 at 10:08 pm
LOL at Kara! Do you have listening devices planted in my bedroom? Just replace “Maggie” with “Sabrina” and you have a near verbatim transcript of the last time our daughter slept until 10 am!
108 benmac // May 18, 2005 at 10:49 pm
Rozanne: Yeah, but did you see how long she was awake the day before? That wasn’t a lot of fun. The 9:40 wakeup was an apology, I think.
109 valerie // May 21, 2005 at 11:51 am
What did you give her to make her sleep this long? Can you give me some for my son? :O)
110 Becca // May 21, 2005 at 1:35 pm
Somehow I think Ben’s away from the computer for now. Maybe a weekend trip?
111 benmac // May 21, 2005 at 11:27 pm
Yep, Becca knows what’s going on
We’re back, but so is Trixie’s fever, and it’s messing up her schedule.
112 kara // May 23, 2005 at 1:46 pm
Poor Trixie- girl. Although, sleeping until 10 is impressive regardless of the reason.
feel better, everyone!
113 Lindsay // May 26, 2005 at 5:13 pm
What’s going on? Is trixie sick? why the four hour nap?
114 benmac // May 26, 2005 at 5:19 pm
oops! thanks for the head’s up!
115 Maddie's Mom // Jun 5, 2005 at 12:20 am
OH MY GOD. A 10 minute nap? What is going on over there? If Maddie gets less than 1.5 hours, she’s unbearable in the evening.
116 benmac // Jun 5, 2005 at 4:22 pm
Hi Maddie’s Mom: We were out taking care of business all day and just decided to forge ahead sans nap. It wasn’t that bad because we were always on the go. The ten minutes was when she fell asleep in the car. Trixie crashed pretty hard when we got back home.
117 Laura // Jun 10, 2005 at 11:55 pm
Trixie’s sleep chart certainly isn’t giving me hope for any consistency in sleeping patterns. A few weeks back, the kidlet was sleeping in until 7:30. This week? We’re back to 6:30. Anything before 7 is too early for me. But who am I to complain when Trixie is up before 6? Eeks! I feel for you! Unless you’re a morning person and already up by that hour?
118 Kat C // Jun 18, 2005 at 11:12 am
I want to be at your house this morning! 11:15 and still asleep?!
I was up at 7 to go to work…
119 benmac // Jun 18, 2005 at 11:39 am
Ah - I wish! We had something special going on this morning and I forgot to update. It should show up in a TPOD soon.
120 Val // Jun 18, 2005 at 8:22 pm
Wow, what a way to leave us hanging in suspense….
121 benmac // Jun 18, 2005 at 9:27 pm
It’s not a bad thing. We’re not going to have broken arm week or anything
122 hannah // Jul 7, 2005 at 10:34 pm
Why up so much at night lately?
123 benmac // Jul 8, 2005 at 11:30 am
Hey Hannah
Trixie has been sick with a fever, cold and cough for the past 4 days. She’s missed 3 days of daycare now, and the household is grinding to a halt due to cumulative sleep deprivation. I’m a little behind in responding to site comments, but I’ll hopefully catch up today or this weekend.
124 Jessica // Jul 16, 2005 at 10:46 am
Please dont tell me Trixie has been up all night?!?!?!??! I hope she is ok!!!
125 Summer // Jul 16, 2005 at 1:17 pm
They’re probably gone or he forgot!
126 aidens momma // Jul 16, 2005 at 5:16 pm
my vote is that trixie stole ben’s red shirt,ran away to Vegas and they have been searching for her for the last 24 hours……
127 Valerie // Jul 29, 2005 at 8:23 pm
Oh my, to what honor did Trixie give up her afternoon nap in place of a 15 minute nap? I think I’d go crazy without naps….for my son and for myself. Please don’t say she’s sick again!
128 benmac // Jul 29, 2005 at 10:15 pm
She’s not sick — she just wouldn’t take a nap at nap time. No idea why. The 15 minutes was in the car.
129 Rachel // Sep 18, 2005 at 10:15 pm
What’s with all the up and down at night here lately little miss trixie?? Hope everything’s okay over there in TTU Land!!
130 Valerie // Sep 19, 2005 at 12:50 am
Perhaps the Mac household is waking up in sympathy for me and my son who is teething and just doesn’t like to sleep. Thanks for the support :OP
131 benmac // Sep 19, 2005 at 9:36 am
Trixie has been out of diapers for over a month now, but we’ve had some middle-of-the-night accidents the past couple of days. (Although, not last night
132 Maddie's Mom // Sep 19, 2005 at 10:39 am
Maddie has been out of diapers during the day for a month, too…but I’m too chicken to leave them off at night. Last night, she woke up around 2 and asked to go potty (in spite of the diaper). I may just have to risk it. Any advice from experienced parents?
133 suzyq // Sep 19, 2005 at 11:15 am
We’ve found with our three kids that night time potty training is a big hurdle. There are many things you can do to make it easier for them, but they still may wet some at night until they’re 3 or 4. Mine didn’t have consistent dry nights until they were almost 4. We stayed in pullups at night until 3 1/2 for my kids and then used the thick cotton underwear, usually two at a time. Good luck. You’re really brave to try night time training so early. I’m curious to see what happens!
134 Jenn // Oct 11, 2005 at 4:35 pm
Wow. Did little Miss Trixie miss her nap today? Hope she goes to bed early for you guys!
135 benmac // Oct 11, 2005 at 4:41 pm
Yep. It looks like 8:15am is the tipping point; if she sleeps that late, then there’s no nap
136 Megan // Oct 15, 2005 at 8:23 pm
Did you guys head out to the state fair today? I saw Trixie didn’t have much of a nap and I thought that might be a fun reason why.
137 benmac // Oct 15, 2005 at 8:28 pm
Hi Megan,
I wish! Instead it was a case of falling asleep on the way home and missing the nap window. We’re hoping to go to the fair next weekend
138 Valerie // Oct 30, 2005 at 11:40 pm
That is so strange that her naps today and yesterday were the exact same, down to the minute. Is that what really happened or did you estimate?
139 benmac // Oct 30, 2005 at 11:45 pm
They are both “Today”. It’s a DST problem that kicked in at 11pm. It will correct at midnight
140 Heather // Oct 31, 2005 at 12:09 pm
Wow, Trixie was up early this morning. The daylight savings time change must have messed her up a little bit.
141 Rozanne // Nov 6, 2005 at 3:49 pm
How did you convince Trixie to sleep so late this morning? I hope she isn’t sick. If she isn’t, I hope you’ll share your technique for getting her to sleep in. We desperately need a sleep-in day ’round here.
142 benmac // Nov 6, 2005 at 7:21 pm
I have no idea how it happened. She woke up, came into our room and told us to get up. We told her it was too early and she had to back to sleep. We gave her the option to snuggle with us or go back to her bed. She crawled in and the next thing we knew it was 9:00.
We try this pretty much every weekend, but this is the first time it’s worked
Wish I knew what the secret was…
143 Jessica // Nov 7, 2005 at 12:59 am
Uh oh! I hope Trixie isnt up sick tonight!
144 benmac // Nov 7, 2005 at 11:11 am
Nope, her schedule was just way off. I think her body may have confused bedtime with a late, late afternoon nap.
145 Valerie // Nov 7, 2005 at 2:15 pm
Maybe she didn’t take a nap in the afternoon because she slept so late in the morning….My son always stays up later if he sleeps late in the morning, no matter how many naps he takes. Then the next day, he will wake up early (kind of like she did today!) It’s amazing how much kids need schedules.
146 Heather // Dec 22, 2005 at 4:23 pm
Wow. No nap today. Poor daddy.
147 benmac // Dec 22, 2005 at 7:51 pm
I just forgot to log it. Busy day
148 hannah // Jan 15, 2006 at 4:46 pm
Why, why, why?
149 benmac // Jan 15, 2006 at 6:16 pm
She’s got a little bit of a cold/cough. No fever, but she’s uncomfortable enough that she’s not sleeping soundly
150 hannah // Jan 16, 2006 at 5:40 pm
So sorry. Benadryl, my friends, Benadryl.
151 pony in kigoma // Jan 27, 2006 at 4:25 pm
Do six days in the past three weeks with no nap constitute a trend?
152 benmac // Jan 27, 2006 at 6:05 pm
I missed updating her nap until now (so she did have one today), but yes, unfortunately I think there is a trend. Or a growth spurt or something. I’m waiting to see what happens.
153 Summer // Jan 27, 2006 at 8:32 pm
99% of the time, if Autumn gets no nap from waking up at 9 am or something, she is in bed super early but is SOOO tired that she wakes up after an hour and can’t go back to sleep for a few hours (just let her talk until she does though).. or else she is awake talking for a few hours in the night. Very frusterating!! She just does not do well if she’s overtired, so hopefully both she and Trixie take naps for a year still!
154 MT // Feb 3, 2006 at 8:17 pm
Oh man, it looks like you have the same painful sleep situation we do: late to bed, early to rise. Our two-year-old adopted this trend a month or so ago and we are still reeling. He used to go to bed around 8 and wake up between 6:30 and 7. Now he won’t go to sleep before 8:50pm [it’s always 8:50] and wakes up no later than 6am. The first week of this we were ready to just lie down and die. We don’t do CIO. Mostly on principle, but it if worked for him, we would. When we have left him, he whimpers by the door [no crib] until he falls asleep [which took longer than an hour]. By the door. It was too pitiful.
I hope Trixie isn’t cranky until the nap, like our guy is. Oh are the mornings a horror show. But, he goes down readily for a two-hour nap and is super cheery all afternoon, right up until he falls asleep, at 8:50pm. We are doing Netflix, but can’t get anything but TV shows, as we are passed out by 10pm. I had a friend who complained that her son was going to bed at 6:30 pm and waking up at 6:30am. I really didn’t hear what her complaint was, because the mere thought had me enviously imagining what I would do if I had three and a half evening hours.
155 shawn // Feb 15, 2006 at 4:31 pm
ben, is because of day care or her…evolution, but has trixie started to not take a nap in the afternoon? i am noticing a pattern on the full sleep chart.
156 shawn // Feb 15, 2006 at 4:32 pm
whoops…should have READ the comments form above. so, nevermind.
157 Don // Feb 23, 2006 at 4:00 pm
It has been quite awhile since I checked up on Trixie. I had forgotten how fast kids grow! You are truly blesssed, she is such a pretty girl. Thank you for allowing us the joy of watching her grow.
Many blessings to the whole family
Don
158 hannah // Feb 27, 2006 at 12:12 am
Please tell me this non-napping bizness is not really non-napping and is merely a result of a lax remote Trixie tracker (like that F’ing Schaff that made us love him and then left us high and dry w/no goodbye, no nothing - not that I’m bitter or anything). Or maybe she can’t sleep b/c she saw creepy pictures of dead animals at, of all places, the NC Museum of Art? Then again, Trixie is no stranger to creepy, and if I knew how to insert links, I would insert them of: that damn horrid goldfish and the “baby” that goes with, one of the numerous Blair Witch Project-esque pictures you seem to be into these days (who knew NC was so very Goth?), or, in a pinch, Frank (who is not actually creepy at all, but I’m tired b/c it’s late and my kids are sick and it’s the only thing I could think of, lame I know). Anyway, point is, it will not stand, it will not do, for this girl not to nap. My 4.5 y.o. just stopped napping on weekends and I feel robbed. Robbed!
159 2 girl mama // Feb 27, 2006 at 3:29 pm
Oh Hannah, I must agreee…no naps would not do in this household!! My 3.5 Yo has just started to fight them on weekends and I’m thinking, “what do I do with her for those 2 hours?!” That was MY time, I feel simply “robbed” as well! So what’s up Ben, just too busy to log it or is she really trying to give them up?
160 Michele // Feb 27, 2006 at 9:32 pm
Almost as bad as no naps at all are the car naps. I always feel so deprived of my “me” time if she only sleeps when I’m driving!
161 benmac // Feb 27, 2006 at 9:37 pm
I’m still around and tracking — there’s just not a lot of sleep data to collect
Trixie fought her nap on Saturday and we gave up. But then it was super nice to have her go to bed so early. So we decided to skip her nap the next day to see what would happen. She was pretty tired and cranky, so we’re going to switch back to a proper schedule.
162 Valerie // Apr 4, 2006 at 7:19 pm
Wow, are you guys out of the country or something, or am I the only one who sees the times of the day all messed up? You sure are devoted if you are out of the country and still keeping track of her sleep!
163 hannah // Jul 17, 2006 at 12:59 pm
Hmm . . . 29 minutes of mid-night madness . . .
a)nightmare?
