Is it too early to tell if my 19mth old has behavioural problems

[LOLLY32]

My 19mth dd is very active she has never slept much in the day but has slept at night until recently when she has started waking every two hours. On top of this she never sits still is always running and climbing. Last week she tipped out of her pushchair and knocked 4 teeth out! This hasn't calmed her down. She is very loud and since birth has had a ear shattering cry. Any thoughts please

have a chat with your health visitor.

you could also try to train her to sleep (dark room, dont talk, resettle, no attention, etc etc.) there are lots of threads that talk about this in detail.

could she be overtired? needing a short nap in the pm? or maybe its the opposite and she needs a loooooooong hard walk to burn off energy and stop her being hyper round the house....

are you stressed? she could be picking up on this and feeling anxious.

tbh, running around all day and louder than a boeing 747 sounds about right for a toddler!!

again, i think hv or gp or mum or other person you feel comfy with to brainstorm is a good move. im sure shes just fine but you sound like a bit of reassurance wouldnt go amiss. xx

Poor you and poor DD knocking out her teeth that must have been so distressing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't causing her pain now and making things worse.
Teething springs to mind. It always seems to get really bad before it gets better. I always forget, until the next time, how horrid it is when I get no proper sleep for three weeks because of broken nights, like tonight.
I bet she gets one or two new teeth in the next few days, check her gums with your fingers.
I don't think you should worry about her behaviour unless you have very strong reasons to do so. She does sound like a normal, lively (and loud) toddler to me.
She may sleep better with a baby painkiller like medised, if it is teeth. Is she chewing things to bits a lot?
Ashton and Parsons or chamomilla from boots homeopathic range are good for calming crazy babies. And taking her to softplay for two hours might help her sleep, plus you can have a well-earned cup of tea.
Do you think you may have added something to her diet recently that she is having trouble coping with? Perhaps you could really simplify her diet to see if she improves, kind of scrambled eggs and oatcakes for the next few days see if it helps?
I really hope this settles down soon for you. .

thanks for all your suggestions. i will try the homeopathic range to see if this helps.As for her diet, she has a healthy diet and I haven't changed anything recently she doesn't have masses of sugar either!

Hi Lolly, how is she today?

Hi Lolly, is it possible that something in her diet is causing this? Maybe she is alergic to additives or something?

The poor thing, she sounds lively, but to knock out 4 teeth must've hurt!
