AAAH!!!! WORST night ever
« on: October 21, 2010, 13:13:13 pm »
OK, that I can recall right now. But DS usually sleeps 8 to 7:15, with a 2 hr nap during the day. He has had a cold this week so we have struggled with some nap resistance and NW, not a huge deal (BTW he got sick from a quick weekend away, it was too much). But yesterday he had an EW and then took an early 3 hour nap, LONG for him.

I put him down a little early 7:30, and he didn't fight it but started whining around 3am, DH nor I could get him back down, and we tried EVERYTHING. Gave meds for pain, rocked, APed, even tried bringing him into bed, watched cartoons, and tried time and time again to put him back down with NO luck. Long story short he has been up since 3am and it is now after 9am, he isn't yawning and isn't cranky really. How do I manage this day and days to come?? I cannot seem to get him back on track....

Hi there Shaunna,

We had a night like that in early Sept.  A 4 hr horrendous NW where we did everything like you and NOTHING worked.  He finally fell asleep at 5 a.m. and slept until 7:30 a.m. lol  It was awful.

We really just had to play it by ear for a day or so because he was so out of sync but honestly, we got back on track fairly quick.  I would just watch his signs and do what you can.  Work around meals as far as sleeps go and just follow him completely.  Sounds like he's not over this cold and he feels poopy.

Also for future marathons (may there not be any!), I would avoid cartoons and TV, too stimulating.  Light exposure is a no no.  Make it dark and boring even if it's taking a long time.
