Do They Make Baby Ambien?

Hi Hi Hi

I am off to bed so I'll keep this quick. 

The last few weeks have basically sucked sleep-wise thanks to a bloody ( as in the british swear, not literally) ear infection for Mr. Fatty, resulting sleep pattern interruption, and then a decision that we were done swaddling this kid and subsequent continued sleep pattern interruption. For the love of cream he weighs 25 lbs! He should learn how to sleep without being bound up like a sumo papoose. 

But anyway, I'll survive, I think. Once I manage to get myself functioning again in the mornings after a night of stumbling back and forth across the hall, I chew on his cheeks and feel better about the fact that I have to prop my eyelids open with toothpicks because that butter boy is a delicious daily snack that I partake of in large doses, so, totally worth it. 

That being said, if you want to volunteer a few (like 10) hours of your night to come comfort him when he wakes up in shock face down in his crib because he rolled over that way, I am accepting applications. Better yet, if you want to take him to your house so the rest of us can sleep, I will certainly consider legitimate offers (not really, unless your name is Connie or Baca, then yes really).

Bambien!
Have you tried lavender oil? I swear by it. We use doTerra's.

If you can't find Ambien for kids, try some Dramamine. You know, for the motion sickness I'm sure he suffers from due to all that rolling around in the crib. Kidding.

1- If there was such a thing as baby ambien, I would have bought stock in the company and bought it in bulk long ago...

2-Jocelyn is 3 in 2 weeks and her and FFF weigh the exact same...

3-as soon as it's splash pad time, we have a weekly date

the end.

Grandma Williams used to tell me to slip some phenobaritol in the bottle. Not exactly sure what it is, but sounds like old fashioned Ambien. My name is neither Baca or Connie, but I'll take him any night. His auntie wants to chew those cheeks too! :)

Send him my way, I could use a little snacking during the day! :) You looked HOT at the gym by the way... the lack of sleep can't be affecting you that much! :)

I love that maura is almost 8 so I can give her sleeping pills. It says so on the bottle so I figure it is ok. She has the worst insomnia. Max on the other hand, he gets more hyper with benadryl. there is nothing that will stop that boy. He woke up last night and thought it was morning. He asked for breakfast and couldn't understand why maura and collin weren't awake. Let me know when you find the baby ambien. The kind that I won't get arrested for.

Oh and BTW phenobarbital is a tranquilizer that they found out caused learning disabilities. Trust me when I say I have relatives that are living proof of this.

I have been known to give my kid pure melatonin on occasion...but only very awful occasions.
