Hi. What do you do if your baby isn't tired but you are??? If you share a bed, do you sleep and leave the child awake? Isabella gets mad if we don't pay attention to her when she wants to play at 2 or 3 in the morning. Ugh.

She just recently been doing this. Normally I don't hear from her from 11pm-4:30 or 5 am. Then she just wants to eat and go back to sleep. Isabella is now awake and giggly and playful at 2 or 3. HELP!!! I'm not ready to put her in her own room yet.

what else can you do but reinforce your sleeping time. you need to be awake with her, and even if she were in a crib it is likely she'd still be fussing at the same time she is now if shes not getting the attention that she wants.

If you need to be awake with her it doesn't mean you have to "get up" stay in bed with her with the lights off and hopefully she'll eventually fall into your routine a bit better.. have you thought about a later bed time or cutting out a nap later in the day if she takes one? she still seems a bit young IMO to be sleeping through the night, my DD1 still nursed during the night until 14 months and still woke during the night until she was 2
