At night she goes to bed at 7ish then I will<br />Dream feed her at 10, she wakes at about 1.30 then again at 4.30-5 I have been feeding her when she wakes but am worried this is a habit not that she's hungry as during the day she goes a lot longer without a feed, in at a loss worried about her health due to being so over tired all the time, having her sleep on me twice a day isn't the best option I'm sure... I have noticed when she sleeps on me she wriggles heaps and look like she's in pain, then I hush her and pat her and she goes back to sleep again, I'm struggling please help meAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06600443940863026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755873697585362072.post-79252061776354180472016-06-29T19:19:02.532-04:002016-06-29T19:19:02.532-04:00Any tips on getting a stander to lay back down and...Any tips on getting a stander to lay back down and self soothe?

My 6 month old was a "decent"...Hi Violet,<br />My 6 month old was a "decent" sleeper in that he would go to sleep relatively easily and wake up 1-3 times/night. Not ideal, but I was okay with it because he would nurse for 5-10 minutes and go right back to sleep. However, over the last 3 nights he has screamed each time I tried to put him back in his crib to the point that I have had to sleep in a chair with him because that was the only way either of us were going to get any sleep. My husband tried rocking and holding him for an hour and he screamed the entire time. Any ideas on why this could be? It seems like a very sudden and dramatic change to the rhythm we had gotten into!

My issue is per the doctor, after she is fed she needs to be held upright for 20 mins before being put back to sleep. That's ok during the day but she still has one feeding at night so she falls asleep on my shoulder. Then when I put her back to bed she will sleep for an hour and wakes up every hour on the hour to basically be adjusted. She hasn't learned how to roll over yet. I now have her sleeping in my bed because she wakes up so frequently and I just roll her from side to her back to her belly - this is happening over and over again at night. I don't know how to brake this habit and need relief badly! I feel stuck because of her reflux issue and I've asked her pediatrician if she's adjusting because she's uncomfortable. I've had no answers and no relief. Any thoughts?

As soon as you put her down to change a diaper, dress her or when she is just about to fall asleep her legs go up in the air. She wears a sleep sack and this does nothing to prevent it. I had been weighing her legs down a bit with a quilt but closing in on 16 pounds it has no effect now. Right now the only way I can control it is by laying down with her and essentially holding her legs down until she is asleep.<br />Thanks for your thoughtsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10196528912293820451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755873697585362072.post-20478408214359972762016-03-19T09:43:33.003-04:002016-03-19T09:43:33.003-04:00Great!Great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755873697585362072.post-38667938231488307642016-02-02T13:56:06.270-05:002016-02-02T13:56:06.270-05:00Sounds like your little one has a reliance on you ...Sounds like your little one has a reliance on you to sleep.

From a month old he went straight into his cot, no problems. And from the first night in his bigger space he slept through the night. So from a month old he had his last bottle about 12am and didn't wake up until about 9am. Which for me, was obviously bliss. At first I was a little concerned about the length of time he was going without a bottle but the MW and HV both said that if he's hungry he'll wake. <br />Now tonight, and two nights ago I've been sitting on the end of my bed, almost pulling out my hair, exhausted every possible outcome of what could be bothering my fussing son. <br />The bottle, he plays with and spits out, if I wind him anymore I'm afraid I'll bruise him. He's had his nappy changed, clean clothes. The room is a right temperature, again I'll try that bottle, a big fat nope to that. <br />However!! And here is the big one, as soon as he gets cuddles from me or daddy he's straight to sleep, no worries. As soon as his backside touches that mattes he's wide awake and not impressed that we're trying to put him down. <br /><br />Normally he's an amazing little sleeper, but only recently 3 or 4 days out of the 7 he's an absolute nightmare to the point I just want to lock myself in the bathroom and just pretend I can't hear anything. <br /><br />Any help would be appreciated...<br />Oh and, he doesn't have a pacifier. I've never personally seen the need for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755873697585362072.post-33857146508249267012016-01-16T21:14:03.433-05:002016-01-16T21:14:03.433-05:00Hi there, love your blog.

But these days he wakes up in the middle of his normal sleep basics maybe an hour or more after he was last fed winging and screaming. The cry is not rhythmic so we're never sure what is wrong. He usually settles after 10-15 minutes of walking or holding him in arms. He does this more frequently at night.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12097963953011569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755873697585362072.post-44411646019693247852016-01-10T00:02:37.817-05:002016-01-10T00:02:37.817-05:00Hi Violet, my baby is 11 months old and she has ne...Hi Violet, my baby is 11 months old and she has never been able to sleep through the night. At best she has slept for 5 hours, this happened only a few times though. At first she was really small and would wake every 45min to feed then at 3 months doc said it may sleep regression, then queue teething, then again sleep regression. There is always something. She has a few good days and then there's either a milestone or what I've mentioned above. On good nights she will wake 3,4 times. Yes you read that right. She wakes at 7am, naps at 9am for about 45minutes (longer ofcourse if she nurses), have another nap at 1pm for 1.5 hr with one wake and then bedtime at 7pm with same routine since she was born. She wakes after 30 minutes like clockwork and on good nights will sleep for 2 hrs after that and then for 4 hrs and another 2 and then 1. She eats 3 meals per day and breastfeeds 3,4 times. And yes she always nurses to sleep always has. Now she has a cold waking like crazy because she cNt breathe properly, has started day care (which she's not loving), and i will be going back to work full time next month. What do i do? I have accepted that she's just not a great sleeper, even though she has periods when she does sleep longer so i know she can but it's just phase after phase. Any advice is welcome.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826551727917582076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755873697585362072.post-16882470044734870502015-12-27T12:10:43.546-05:002015-12-27T12:10:43.546-05:00Could be something with her schedule...

I work early and we wake up at 430am everyday. He goes to bed between 630pm and 7pm. He was sleeping through the night. For the last week he is waking up at 130am every morning. I have tried everything he goes to bed no props. His schedule during the day is exactly the same. When he wakes i have tried letting him self soothe. I have tried sooting and he will fall back to sleep but wakes up a few minutes later. He starts off whining, he rubs hands across the sheets, etc. Then starts crying into a screaming fit until I go to him. The only way he will go to sleep is if I give him a bottle. I kow he is not truly needing it he did months of sleeping through the night with out it. I have tried increasing his food before bed. Keeping him up a little later, nothing seems to work. It is the same time every night. Help what do i do. I am exhausted and it is making me wake up late for work.

She is now 5 months and recently she has been waking up around 3am and wakes up a few times between then and 7/7:30am. We put her to sleep with the pacifier awake and she goes to sleep herself and then it falls out and she's okay until around 3am. She doesn't scream but starts to fuss/cry so I give it a few minutes hoping she will go back to sleep but once the cry gets a little louder we give her the pacifier. I didn't think it was an issue at first because she goes from about 10pm (because it falls out) until 3am but that's what makes her go back to sleep when we give her the pacifier again. She will go about 20 minutes and then it will fall out and she cries again and that will happen a couple times. Should I let her cry longer or just try putting her to sleep from the beginning without it?

I thought he was when he was 2 months old sleeping in chunks of time like this starting at 7pm: 4-3-3-2, waking up at around 7am. I breastfeed only and feel like I've created the issue with feeding schedules. When I talk to other moms or read about other people's babies and their sleep habits, I've realized he's always been a crappy sleeper since birth. We've thought gas, reflux, etc and gave tried everything to get my baby to sleep...my Nana who was a maternity nurse, my mom, my husband, his mom, everyone has tried and to no avail. His daytime naps last usually between 30-40 minutes in his crib and longer in the stroller. We've instated a sleep routine since about 3 months but he fights sleep like crazy. Screaming and taking hours to go to sleep. Usually his bedtime is anywhere between 6:30-7:30 as I watch his sleepy cues. Now, for about a month, he is waking every 1-2 hours and doesn't go into a deep sleep. We've started xo-sleeping with him so I can sleep as I'm a haggard mess. Tonight, he is waking up every 15 minutes! I fed him from me about 4 ounces and then 3 ounces of breast milk from a bottle so I know its not hunger. He's been teething lately...could this be it?Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575839935238023130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4755873697585362072.post-66011429861835903832015-08-11T23:58:15.223-04:002015-08-11T23:58:15.223-04:00Hi I have a 9 month old who will fall asleep fine ...Hi I have a 9 month old who will fall asleep fine but wakes up crying uncontrollable.
