Hi there,
Please excuse this if somewhere this has been answered, but I am so tired and I have tried everything that i no longer remember what I did! Any ideas to get my little guy back on track would be great.
How old is your child? 10 months
What’s his/her daily routine? up at 630-7 am, bottle playtime, nap, bottle, solid food, playtime, nap, bottle, solid food, playtime, short nap, playtime, bottle and then bed at 8 pm.
What’s nap routine? around 8:30-9am and then around 12:30-1pm each is 1.5 hrs long and then a short nap at 5:30pm (30 mins).
How long are naps?1.5 hrs
What's bedtime routine? Time?Change into PJs, bottle and cuddle, quiet time and into bed. Bed is around 8pm
Do you bottle or breastfed??Bottle
How much? or how long?5-8 ounces for about 15 min. He is slowly weaning himself from the bottle
How many wakes per night? 4-7
What’s your LO like when waking at night? Full on screaming
How long is he/she up? Goes down as soon as I come in and settle him
When you go to him/her is she fussing or crying? Crying Or is it a mantra cry? No
What have you tried to settle?? He settles quickly, but he is standing in his crib so I lay him down and cover him and then he is quiet
What do you do for A time and how long is it? Crawling and playing on the floor 1 hour at a time roughly
Are there developmental issues such as teething or milestones? He was sleeping nicely and then 2.5 months ago had 6 teeth come in quickly and hasn't slept again. He started crawling 2 weeks ago.
Do they have a prop? If so what is it? He has a soother, but can find it and put it back in his mouth.
Do they have a lovie? I have tried to intorduce one, but not overly interested.
It seems that he has lost the ability to put himself back to sleep during the night. He was doing this previously very nicely and slept from 8pm to 6 am. He now wakes up and immediately stands up in his crib and screams. Also his naps/bedtime are more difficult to get him to sleep as well. We have tried to comfort him and leave the room for a few minutes, but he just gets more worked up. He stands up in the crib all the time and when I lay him down he thinks it is a game and stands right back up again. PU/PD does help and we do use that to get him to sleep initially when he is upset. How do we get him to stay asleep !! HELP
I am not sure what to try
