What the what .... Good sleeper gone bad!!
« on: July 09, 2015, 14:14:29 pm »
My LO will be 1 on July 18th and all of a sudden has night wakings. We went camping last week for 4 days and she slept through the night fine ... About 11:30/12hrs a night ... Daytime naps were not so great so instead of getting her usual 2 hr nap she got 2 naps a day to make up for it.

We got home on Sunday night and at 4 am she woke and would settle... I tried soother, layer her in her crib, as soon as her back touched the crib.. She would stand up and cry... After 30mims of trying this and offering water I finally took her into out bed ( which I never do) let her fall asleep and then 10mins later moved her to her crib and she slept til 7:40.

Monday night... Same thing... Went to bed at 7:30... Kept waking, tried soother, water, and finally took her into our bed from 11-12:30 and she was asleep but all she did was toss and turn ... So the. At 12:30 into her crib with Tylenol and she slept til 7:30. Also mention every time I would put her in her crib she would freak out ( this is new)

Tuesday night same thing... This time I gave her a bottle and she settled right away... Only after giving her water, soother etc.

Wednesday night.... Same thing... We gave her Advil before bed and she would not settle until 12... After giving her a bottle....

Not sure what is going on here!! Suggestions?

I should also mention that when I did nap time yesterday... She clung to me for dear life after I trued to put her in the crib.. I just walked out after putting her in the crib and she was asleep in 1min.
Over all she gets 1 nap a day and sleep somewhere between 2/3 hrs.
I am trying to cut out her 3 pm bottle and switch it to a sippy cup... On day 6 of that now... And I thought it might be that so then I tried to give her a bottle at 3pm after snack and she wouldnt take it.  She is teething a. Bit too but she never did this before when she teethed!! Help!

Hi there, hun. Just one thought, based on my DD's routine and our journey to 1 nap -- a 1 nap routine might not be sustainable (yet) with a nap ending at 1.30 if BT is 7/7.30. I would suggest pulling BT a bit earlier for a while to prevent OT (which might explain your NWs) Or gently push the nap a bit later in 10-15 minute increments, so that it ends at a later time. The easier option is simply to do EBT for a while and push the nap gradually. I think she is OT already by the time she sleeps off. Teething and SA might also be in the mix. Have you tried inclining her mattress? I've heard (no BTDT experience) that it helps with teething pain.

So it turns out she cut a tooth!! That was the culprit! I noticed it when I checked her mouth the day I posted it! She has been good the last 2 nights... The night before she woke twice and last night she didn't wake at all. I also did the shhh pat in her crib to give her confidence to settle and put herself to sleep in her crib.

Thanks for the input!!
