Is this still Jet Lag??
Hiya
We arrived back from the US 10 days ago (aside from the fact that we cut our first tooth the day after and the second one is visible under the gums) we are having some night waking issues. I'm getting really concerned!! Not to mention tired... I am not sure whether it is all teething or there is still some jet lag going on.
if I don't react FAST DD's waking at 9 or 9:30 is usually a total awakening and she wants to play, this is the same as the 3-4am waking though for the past two nights she has slept past the early morning waking either because i have given nurofen at the late evening waking or fed her back to sleep!! (I don't usually feed her to sleep, she self settles but we cosleep and she uses a pacifier/ dummy). She is quite fidgety at these times and just rolls and squeals, no crying, which seems like she is not tired. She rubs her eyes a lot but will not sleep so I think it is jet lag preventing her from settling. The awake time goes on for longer than her usual daytime waking and she then finds it hard to go back to sleep due to overtiredness. The late evening waking has lasted for up to 5 hours some nights and almost joined the next one so some nights he has nearly no sleep (maybe 3-4 hours tops as she has started to wake at 7am, tired but ready for the day). The only consolation is that her naps are regular, 90 minutes morning, 90 afternoon and 45 around 4:30!!
The only way we can get through the night at the moment is if I go to bed early or get ready for the waking times and run in and feed her to sleep, or settle with the dummy but it is less successful. So do you think this is jet lag, how bad was it for you when you came back from the US or similar timezone and how long did it go for? Or is this purely teething and I am reading this all wrong?
Hope for some similar stories :-/
