How old is she? Sounds like she may be teething.Mine acted like that when they were teething.My older daughter would cry if we were anywhere else but home at bed time.I thought it was nothing but my dad began to call my attention to it.He said,"Dee she wants to go home", and I noticed the pattern.
He was right.In the evenings when she was tired she would cry until we got home and she was in her own crib.Babies are all different.My youngest never cared.

Wrap her up so she feels secure and snuggly and don't pick her up - she will finally get it.

This is what we have been trying but it is HARD!!! The crying can really ware on ya after awhile!!!

My husband usually puts her to sleep at night for me (partly to give me a break and partly because I am in the shower and getting Jasmine to bed and by the time I am done Ariel is out of it) but last night she was still up when I was done with everything so i took her - she acted like she was sooo happy to be cuddled up with me and then when she dozed off and I laid her down she whipped her head around and opened her eyes and wouldn't quit staring at me like "hey pick me back up!" eventually she won and as soon as I sat back down with her she snuggled back up to me and went back to sleep. It was cute becuase she us normally really good about laying down and going to sleep without being rocked at night time, during the day she still fusses, I guess she just knows at night it is bed time now.

For the first time, my little sweet pea only woke up once last night to feed. Granted, we were late getting home because of going to church camp, but she slept from about 11:30-4AM, then slept until 6:45.

There wasn't a good place to feed her at camp. I partially hid behind a display sign and it was awkward.

OK ladies .....and gents



Today I start my weight loss program!!!! I have a long journey....I think it will take me probably close to a year at least...I have a lot of weight to loose!



I am to embarrassed to tell you what I weigh now....but it's way tooo much.

I am headed to Eugene today my sis is also on a program to lose weight so we are going to be support for each other...and accountability partner. Today we are doing a weigh in, measurements, and pictures!!! I am very excited...the goal is to be healthy again! We will do this process once a month....

So pray for me....PLEASE....I am taking it day by day, but the end is seems is so far off...!

Love and Blessings all and thank you for your support of prayers!

You're a good mommy!!! I gave that up when she was 5 weeks old - I couldn't handle pumping or feeding out in public and we are rarely home.

Isn't it great when they sleep for long stretches like that? Ariel slept from 11:00 to 4:00 this morning, I was happy.

you need to add a little cereal to her bottle - she'll sleep longer

No cereal until 6 months.

I don't mind feeding in public if it's not at church. I just know that there are people in the church setting that would be offended. I don't care about offending unknowns in the mass public.

My sweet pea is less than 3 months old. Even Dr. James Dobson, who in my estimation is the least permissive of parenting experts doesn't recommend trying to change behavior until 6 months old. One of her needs at this time is being held.
