No sleep makes mommy Crazy

Ok so my son is 2 weeks away from being 6months and he still wakes up atleast once in the middle of the night. Since I'm a sahm I get up with him at night one the week days but on the weekends my husband does it, well last night my son woke up at 2:30am so I got up with him and to be nice to my hubby I turn off the monitor in our bedroom so it doesn't wake him up any more than it has. So anyways I got up and fixed a bottle and he ate about 3oz and I put him back to bed and then went to bed myself. I slept the rest of the night great and I woke up this morning to my hubby leaving for work and I realized I never got back up with Brandon THEN I realized I had forgot to turn the monitor back on. I felt so horrible, I ran into Brandons room(on the other side of the house) and he was just as happy as could be, just chewing on his fingers and talkin to the walls. I got him out of bed and gave him a bottle and he ate the whole 6oz and was still as happy as could be...but I still feel horrible that I forgot...its the first time that I forgot to turn it back on

Hi! I have a 1 1/2 year old boy, and all I can say is this will pass! Our little guy was a terrible sleeper until about 8 or 9 months old. It took such a long time for him to sleep through the night, but it did miraculously happen. As for leaving your son in his crib, sounds like he was fine, so don't worry about it! Good for you for getting a little sleep for a change. Maybe forgetting the monitor was God's way of giving you a little gift that morning! An extra couple minutes of sleep will definitely make you a better mommy!

I have done the same thing Amers! I have sat up in bed really quick wondering why I haven't heard my daughter in her room. Then I realize that the monitor is turned down. I felt so horrible too! But we are good mamas though!
