Dear Evan...I hope you will sleep better tonight.

To my dearest dearest Evan baby:

I hope you will sleep better tonight. You've been waking up at 2am and then at 7am the last several nights already. Your last night of waking up at 1am, 2:00am, 3:00am, 5:30am, 7am, and then at 10am was not fun at all ...


(And while I typed this sentence, our little Evan boy woke up from his sleep again. :(

Were you having nightmares? Were you hungry? Were you bothered by something in the environment? Or did I do something wrong, such as the nursing you to sleep at night so that you lost your ability to sooth yourself back to sleep? Or were you just going through another development phase?

It puzzles me how you suddenly went from sleeping 10 hours at night, to waking up every 2 hours. Though you can go back to sleep after nursing or with a pacifier, or both. It still can take up to 30min sometimes to get you back to sleep.

The worst is that you haven't been able to enter deep sleep during the day as well! Just like today, we startled you during every single one of your naps.

(Hmm.. Evan just woke up crying loudly again. :( )

Though you slept at 9:40pm tonight, we startled you at 10:50pm. And after returning to sleep at 11:30pm, you woke up again just now! (Just before midnight)

I hope you won't be waking up every hour tonight. It is not fun for mommy and daddy to hear you cry as if you were really bothered by something at night, and it must not be fun for you not to get a good night sleep as well.

Love,
Mommy
