waking after being put to bed

[yaya]

What could it mean when LO wakes an hr or so after hes been put to bed? MY 9mo used to do it allthe time and has got a bit better but still wakes sometimes after hes put to bed usually around 9pm before he finally falls into a deep sleep???

Yaya,

Could mean a lot of things... gas? overtired? prop issue? hot? cold?

[yaya]

bless u for always getting back to me! Gas? do u think?still at this age? I have also thought it may be his reflux but itsso hard to tell with thomas as he hardly ever complains!
DOnt think it is a prop issue as wouldnt explain why sometimes hes out like a lightand sleeps all night! For the past 2 nights hes woken every hrarrghhhhhh!

Hi,

I am in the exact situation with my 4 month old DD.  She wakes exactly 1 sleep cycle after she has been put to bed.  She doesn't use any props. This has been going on for 2 months now with the exception of 1 week.  I got excited that the problem was solved but it has started all over again.  She is not overtired as I put her to bed 1.5hrs after her last nap and watch her sleepy signs.  She is a great napper, long napper.  Let me know if you find anything that works because I have tried it all....

Yaya, have you been feeding anything for dinner that can cause gas, like broccoli? How are things now?

[yaya]

hey! we finally have  internet in our new house! So, i think LOs milk was giving him trouble as things have been better since i stopped giving him a bedtime bottle he has camomille tea instead, i think dinner plus bottle was too much, or maybe it was the reflux? who knows! His meds have been cut down too so we'll see how that goes! Thanx

[Colin Macs Mom]

Cool! What med was he on for the reflux?

[yaya]

omeprazol, my ped says i can give slight hypertension making it abit difficult to sleep? ever heard of that?

[Colin Macs Mom]

No, I haven't heard of that! Interesting.   

[yaya]

he's been fine on reduced dose so fingers crossed , would love to get him off them totally! Hows colin doing? still on meds?

[Colin Macs Mom]

Colin's great, walking all over the place and we finally weaned the meds!!!    And he's been just fine, even eating oranges!

[yaya]

wow! walking already? I think thomas will do soon too! oranges hmm? Dont think we've tried those even with meds!! Is there anything he doesnt have?

[Colin Macs Mom]

I was really nervous about the oranges, but he loves them and they don't seem to cause any trouble.    I still am careful with the acidic stuff of course, but he pretty much eats everything.
