[quote=Anonymous]This has been going on for 3+ weeks.

Part of the problem is that it's impossible to adhere to a nap schedule since I am making one hour round-trip drives to the school 3x per day to drop off and pick up my older children (PK3 is half day, hence the three trips).

So she maybe sleeps 20 mins in the car a few times a day and one 30 min nap in the crib. Then at bedtime she goes through the first sleep cycle (30 min) and wakes up screaming. I go in to rock her and put her back to sleep and she wakes up every time she is lowered into the crib. Same thing if DH tries it. This goes on for hours until we are physically incapable of holding her anymore then I bring her into bed with me where she may finally allow me to lay her down and scoot away but continues to wake up every hour or two. I nurse her to get her back to sleep because I'm beyond exhausted at this point.

I don't want to CIO but I'm feeling like maybe we have no choice? I have two other children to take care of and this is untenable. I'm feeling physically ill from the sleep deprivation. She was in a Snoo until 6 months old so sleep had been pretty good though not great even then. Once we transitioned her to the crib things got bad quickly. I used to be able to put her down drowsy but awake maybe 35% of the time. Now that never works and putting her down asleep isn't working either.

Anyone else BTDT?
