What do long NWs mean for YOUR LO?
« on: August 03, 2010, 12:14:38 pm »
So after a year of long NWs I figured I may as well ask the question.  

I have another thread if you wish to offer suggestions or support but for this one I'm just curious to know if your LOs have had long NWs before what was the cause - if you ever worked that out that is ;)

Thanks!
Laura

i voted discomfort because thats the only real NW we have.OT for us is short,screaming NW normally in the early evening.Discomfort NW are usually the longest cos of meds taking effect.UT for us dont really cause NW just bedtime,singing and chatting resistance.

same here.
NW's are nearly always discomfort but we do get the odd 4am ish OT one but is is really occasionally like when he has been ill or just not slept properly due to being away.
UT is the same as Lucy said x

Long NW is discomfort of some kind; EW is typically OT with a hint of natural early riser tendencies.  Luckily our long NW have been few and far between, but EW...well you know the story.

teething here.....up from 2 to 3 this am till neurofen worked and I finally had the courage to put Emma down again.

never really had NWing issue with either of them too much though since around the 3 mth mark so it has always been teething and/or illness here as they went together with Oscar.

Have battled EWings with Oz on and off for the past 2+yrs. Originally caused by lots going on - p/training, BBB transition, nap to no nap and then once in the chronic cycle, OTness as well....


I finally figured at 4 and 3 mths he is NEVER going to sleep longer than 10.5, maybe 11 a night so I gradually moved his bedtime up to 10pm over 3 weeks at the end of June and I am now enjoying unbelievable lie ons till 8.30 or even 8.45 am everyday (usually I HAVE to get up for 6am termtime....). Haven't slept that late EVERYDAY in around 5 yrs the summer I was pg with him LOL!!!!

It's mostly to do with teeth around here.  Then he can be awake for anything up to 3 hours.

Our last LONG NWings were the canines.

We do get short random UT restlessness, that means NWings to give bear bear back  ::).

We get both UT EW and OT EW. Humph.

I voted discomfort because OT or UT lead to EWs.  However, when DS was younger (I mean, under 6 mo), long NWs were UT.  Funny how they change as they get older :)

Discomfort here too- we had a NW last night (few and far between here) and I figured it must be teeth as it took the time for the meds to kick in for her to calm down. Then I couldn't get back to sleep.
