8 Month old learned to stand in her crib!!

So NOW, our hard work getting her to finally sleep good thru

the night, is all out the window because: She's waking up in the

middle of the night and standing up in her crib...What a crazy baby.

 

Anyway, it's been hard, no sleep again, she's waking up every

other hour, so then wife Bfeeds her and she'll get drowsy, so

then we put her down in her crib again, But once she realizes

where she's at then she's Right Back Up Again!!!!! Crying and

standing up in her crib.

 

I've read that it could be because she's learned a new skill...

 

I dunno.

Give her lots of opportunities to practice her new skill during her wakeful hours - that can help.

 

The thing is about babies - IMO you never reach a stage where everything is cool and you don't have to worry about anything or work on anything. Every time you think everything is locked down, they change it up. The best thing to do is just relax and roll with the punches. If I stressed out about my son sleeping through the night every night, I would be a wreck. As long as he gets 11-4 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period, I am fine.

 

Every parent comes up with whatever works for them, don't be tied down to one way of doing things or one way of thinking.

 

Truthfully, if we didn't sidecar the crib, I don't think I'd get much sleep, either!!

Oh yes. I remember those days when they master a new skill and they just simply have a ball with it. My first son, learned how to stand in his crib, I would hear him laughing, jumping and babbling at 3 am. Needless to say those were long nights for me. Then he got to the point where he learned to climb out and that was the end of the crib. I guess the only thing you can do right now is let the little one discover herself.. while keeping a close eye on it. It's simply a phase of growth and soon enough she will be onto something new. Most of all, enjoy all her new little dicoveries.. because they grow up way to fast.
