10 month waking at night

[suss]

hello Lynn, everybody else, we have 10 month old babes(they were 9 month old and waking at night) (boy and girl between us) who wake at night, if anybody has any reassurance to give us or some ideas as to what might be the problem, we are pretty sure its not teeth we would love to know. Lynn, last night DB was bad too he woke three times before 9pm he goes to bed between 6.30 & 7pm. But I had an IVF egg collection yesterday, so was in bed and so I didn't go in to him. He started off by moaning, which escalated slightly, but he stopped within 10 mins and went back to sleep. Hooray! Glad to hear you had some sleep over the wkend.

Hello

Long time, so see!! I have been so so busy the last couple of months. Moving house!

Ryan is nearly 21 months old. He is just starting walking, he is still wobby on his feets. He is doing really well, but waking up 2ish in the morning the last month or so.

This week, i had enough. So I have been leaving him to cried, to go back to sleep by himself. Then Ryan would sleep till 7 or 8am in the morning. Just hope it is just a phase!

I hope everyone is well. Happy Christmas!!

Take care

Hi Natuk, nice to hear from you. So how is the new house?

Sorry to hear Ryan is a bit unsettled lately. I have heard before that some kids get disturbed sleep when major changes happen in their wee lives like beginning to walk so maybe thats all it is and hopefully he will get back to normal soon.

Hope you both have a wonderful Christmas and you too suss if you are about - take care.

happy christmas everyone, nice to hear from you both! started using bribery with DB and sleep and I have to say it is working!!!! I tell him if he sleeps all night and doesn't shout then he can have his favourite cereal in the morning (which changes weekly, but can be cheerios, weetabix, etc.) I hope you are getting some sleep too lynn and natuk and I wish you all the happiest christmas and father christmas brings you everything you want. love suss xxxx

Hi suss & Natuk - hope you both had a lovely christmas and new year. Laughing at your bribery tactics suss and glad its working, sounds like this one could work for a few things will need to give it a go!

DD still the same sleep wise and had a very bad spell from October till now with coughing fits every night but she has been put on an inhalor and now one with sterioids too to try help. So fingers crossed they help her, the wee soul has been crying and saying sore mummy which just breaks my heart because I cant help. Anyway past few nights have been a big improvement so hopefully peaceful nights are not too far away again.

Hope you both have a good year ahead and keep in touch, nice to hear how your both getting on.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO LYNN AND SUSS!!

I need some advice on Ryan sleep problems!!

Over Christmas, ryan keep waking up from 12am-7am wanting me to come and get him. It has been a week now. He waking up screaming and crying for me (it is my fault i have been letting Ryan in to my bed, as i am get so tired. But i am stopping that now!

This morning Ryan has been awake since 5am, he did not go back to sleep. He kept crying and screaming his head till 7am! Before Christmas, he was a good sleeper from 7pm-7am. I don't know where i am going wrong?

I have been doing the CC for 2 nights now, it is improving a little. I am sticking to my guns, to let cry. It is hard, but got no choice.

1st night of the CC, Ryan was awake from 1am and did not go back to sleep. He wide awake and crying too.

When i put Ryan to bed, he keep crying for a half a hour. It is improving a little. Should i keep doing the CC?

Hi Natalie,

Sorry your having problems with Ryan's sleeping again and it sounds like you are doing great with the controlled crying. How has he been past couple of nights?

I'm sorry but I'm not the best one for advice on how to handle this as I still have dd in with me too and sure suss will be more useful as I'm sure she did this with her DB when he was younger.

I would say though if you are finding you see a slight improvement with the cc over the past few nights and you have been strong enough to stick to your guns so far then keep going and try your best not to give up otherwise your past few nights will have been in vain.

Wishing you all the best and hoping you get a good nights sleep soon.

I am sorry Natuk about your recent problems. Good luck with the cc I never did it as I knew that I would give in so i went for complete cold turkey and just let them scream but don't go in. You have to pick three nights when you know they are well and you don't need to sleep so much say thurs fri and sat nights then you should get a good night on sunday night. it does take about 3 nights - so its much shorter than cc, but vile to listen to, worse now as they can shout mummy. don't give in as what you are doing is important, children need sleep for brain development and it is important that they learn to calm themselves down (control their emotions) so that they don't have tantrums etc. I wish you huge luck however you decide to do this! S xxxx

Thanks for the replies!!

I have been having with my pc lately

After nearly a week doing the CC, finally Ryan is back sleeping from 7pm-7-8am. Stuck to my guns and it was SO hard to do the CC. CC does work for Ryan, thanks god. For some it doesn't!!

I'm proud of myself and being a single mum too

Hope everyone is well!

glad to hear ryan is back on track. DB going through v bad patch at moment We have swapped sleeping bag for duvet ready for the move into a bed. He keeps kicking it off and getting cold. He knows how to pull up the duvet but won't so I am being tough, but he wakes up frozen v early in the morning shouting! He has a terrible cold and an eye infection but I know if I go back to the bag we will have to do this all over again any tips would be gratefully received! BTw for all those who don't know us the 10 month old is now 2 years!

Hi Suss, nice to hear from you again. Hope you have been keeping well.

Hope db gets used to his quilt soon. Not sure what you put on him clothes wise at night, but maybe a longsleeve vest and socks would help keep him warmer when he does kick off the quilt or even a thin blanket tucked in tight to try hold the quilt in place?

Sorry to hear he has had such a bad cold and eye infection hope he is better soon. DD been unwell too she is getting over croup although seems like the cough is never going away, we ended up at hospital with it a fortnight ago now. Hoping it clears soon for her sake as well as ours for a half decent sleep.

DD still goes to sleep in her own bed at night but also still comes through to me at somepoint. I keep saying I will be strong and let her cry it out and fall back asleep or let her get up and come through herself but needless to say at whatever time in the morning when I hear her souting on me I just dont have the patience or energy to carry through what I indend.

Hi Natuk how is Ryan doing?
