19 mo old regressing :(
« on: October 11, 2012, 04:29:25 am »
Please help! My 19 mo old DS is regressing in many areas! He was normally a good sleeper, went down 7-730 and would wake between 6-7.  For the last month or so he has gradually been getting up earlier and earlier.  This week it has been before 5:30.  He wakes up, stands up, and cries loudly.  This is how I know he's still tired, plus, if I rock him he will sleep in my arms for at least another 30 minutes.  He wakes immediately and cries if I try to put him back in his crib. 

Naps have also been a challenge lately.  He normally was napping one time for 2-3 hours a day.  For the last week he's been waking early (after 60-90 minutes)  But if I hold/rock him he will sleep more in my arms. 

It also seems like he's been eating less at every meal.  I've been trying to cut back on the snacks so he'll be hungry at dinner, but for the last couple of weeks, he is just not the eater he used to be.  He still gets a bottle before bed.

He's a super active little guy and I try my best to exhaust him :)  Here is his basic schedule:

5-6:30 wake
12:45-1 nap (usually 2-3 hours, but lately waking early)
7-7:30 bed

Any and all input is appreciated.  TIA! :)

Hi!  I thought about that too, he currently has 16 teeth, so I think maybe it's a set of molars.  But we've NEVER has issues like this with any of his other teeth.  He wakes up, stands up, and just screams and cries until someone goes in there.  I used to wait until 6am to go in there, but when he's waking at 4:30 or 5, I can't let him scream for that long.  If he was just chatting or mildly fussing, it would be okay, but he's not.  I'm losing my mind.  His naps have only been 1:20 and he's getting less than 10hours of sleep at night.  :(  I don't know what happened.  Please help!

well it does sound like teeth and tbh the molars and/or canines can really affect them differently. I would do what you can - give pain meds when needed and some extra reassurance. When mine are up early from teeth I usually lie with them so we don't get up but they are not alone - must be painful!!

Thank you! That's what we've been doing.  I guess I will just try to keep on track and ride this out. :)
