This week has been the hardest week of my life! Ever since my 1 year old was born she’s always had an AMAZING sleep schedule. She would wake up once a night maybe two but it was rare. As she grew up she stopped waking up at all and would sleep her 9-10 hours straight. Well this week she’s been waking up 4 hours after her bedtime, crying and screaming. I rock her back to sleep but she’s like a ticking bomb, as soon as she feels me putting her on her crib she immediately wakes up crying. It’s taken me 3 hours every night to put her back to sleep and tonight has been so hard! I put her to sleep around 9pm woke up at 10p. She went back to sleep 30 minutes after and at 12:40a she woke up SCREAMING! I tried to put her back to sleep (since I’ve heard never to wake up a sleeping child) but the crying wouldn’t stop and I don’t mean normal crying it was the time of crying as if someone was torturing her. Obviously I just broke down crying😭😭 she’s never been like this before. It’s been so exhausting not only for me but also for her.
She has all of that in her room ever since she was a baby😕
@aubreyandvioletsmommy, remember this is just a phase, soon or later she will get over it .
What about a little light in the room? Or a plushy so she feels accompanied. Also a white noise in the room is really helpful
Omg thats scary and sad. Could be that she is afraid of something. Maybe set up an infered camera to watch her and record her while she sleeps. Or maybe play soothing music? If you live in houston tx, try 89.3 Ksbj
It is! I don’t know if it’s that’s she’s getting night terrors or teething or maybe she’s hitting a little growth spurt. But it’s been a while since I experienced this since my 3 year old used to be the same. My 1 year old has always been great at sleeping even taking naps but I don’t know this week was like a switch went off
Was she awake? Or did she seem out of it while crying?
Other nights she’s been fully awake tonight she was asleep. My 3 year old used to have night terrors around the same age but she was easier to put back to sleep.
@aubreyandvioletsmommy, Ahh ok. I was going to say that maybe they’re night terrors, but it seems like you’re familiar with them! It could just be a sleep regression. There’s one at 12m. Good luck! I hope she’ll get back to her usual routine quickly.
@ek_, yes I’m part of a mom group on Facebook and all the moms that have babies around her age have been posting about it. It just seems weird you know since she’s so good at sleeping that I guess I lost that rhythm of waking up at all hours at the night lol
This might sound mean but try giving her tylenol before bed it can't hurt her maybe teething or like i said growning pains
Honestly I have been giving her Tylenol. I was thinking the same maybe teething or a growth spurt. My 3 year old used to be the same but ever since she was a baby she would wake up at all times and was easier to control
It's the craziest thing same thing with my daughter but not as bad... I honestly think its growing pains but maybe ask her dr..
Mommies I need advice....
So last night was night 15 of me sleep training my daughter from sleeping with me to now sleeping in her new crib. It has been EXHAUSTING! When she slept with me she would sleep straight throughout the night. Now she wakes up at the least, 5 times throughout the night. She has waken up at most 8/9 times at night. There have been times where I’m patting her for an 1 hour-2hours straight to get her back to sleep when she has waken up at one of those times🥵. So I have fel...
Baby won't bear weight on leg
I have a walking 10 month old and she has been extra fussy yesterday and today. Today I noticed she didn't really want to crawl, she would just cry until I came and picked her up. After I fed her, I tried setting her down to play with her big sister and she just started crying and wouldn't put any weight on her left leg. She will put weight down on her right leg but then just cries until you pick her back up. I thought maybe she just didn't want to be put down (as ...
Waking to feed?
My dd is a week old and I was told by her doctor to wake her every 2 hours during the day and 3-4 hours at night to feed her. For the first 3 days I did that and when I would wake her fit a night feeding she was fussy and usually wouldn't go back to sleep and would want to nurse constantly until about 9 am. I tried not waking her last night and she slept beautifully! She woke up around 6 hours in and ate then slept another hour or so and ate again. Is it ok to let her sleep?
So my baby is 8 weeks old and is thriving with weight gain each doctors visit. So here is my question: around 4-5 hours at night for sleep she wakes up every night and sucks on her thumb. (She finally this week likes it to soothe her during nap times) her eyes are still closed and she moves around and sucks it. I wake her to feed her. My question is should I just let it go? And see if she is just soothing herself to sleep? I don't want her to stave by morning if she sleep a couple of more hours...
He puts the ac on last night while we are sleeping then after a while I get up freezing and almost peeing on myself. I pee and cover with the blanket. Then he gets up and checks baby diaper which is very full since he put the ac on and tries to change it ofcourse baby starts to cry he is too slow and woke baby up. She already has a cough and I put the humidifier on before bed for baby. She starts coughing so I go run into the kitchen to get her some water without my glasses I'm blind. I bring th...
Get in the crib with her so she thinks you will sleep there with her and when she’s nocked out you silently get out
