I learned tonight that I have no idea how to comfort my baby in the middle of the night. Ethan's been sleeping through the night consistently for so long now that I haven't had to get him back to sleep. Back when he was just a tiny little guy, I knew I just needed to nurse him and possibly do a diaper change and everything would be fine within a short period of time.
Not the case tonight when Ethan woke up screaming and crying at 2 am. Although I knew he wasn't hungry, my instinct told me to attempt to nurse him back to sleep. No such luck. He would fall to sleep on my chest while rocking but wake immediately after placing him in the crib. So, here I am at 3:08 am with a crying baby, standing in the crib just waiting for mama to come back and save him.
