        I have TRULY been there. it will pass. just get out of the house -- put them in a stroller or the front pack and try and refocus them. you will make it!

        you know what. give it a little time and see what happens. if it doesnt pass then maybe see if dc will fuss for a few mintues and then go back to sleep OR put the baby in bed with you and go back to sleep yourself.

- BTDT & I feel for you. It is a phase, but unfortunately a long one, but it too shall pass. Changing bedtime did nothing for us. Just had to wait out the couple of months it took. I noticed it started when we got more sunlight in the room.
