Night waking advice PLEASE!!

[leahwlfe]

When she wakes she will whine and moan for awhile. She would eventually cry if we would leave her but we never leave her for long. When she wakes we go in and give her a paci. Thats all we have been doing and then she is back asleep. We should probably leave her! We might be choosing the easiest route to getting her back to sleep. Last night I did feed her at 930 but usually I dont feed her when she wakes. Right now we are fighting a nap which we dont ever have to do. She has just learned to stand up in her crib! I keep going in and laying her down. CRAZY!

Could the paci be a problem?
Ah ha!  Developmental things...
I would give her tons of opportunity to pull up during the day and that part will pass.

Its funny because she has been pulling up for a long time. Its like she just figured out she could pull up in her crib. The paci is probably a problem. What should I do about the night wakings? Should I not re plug and she what she does?

Yeah, I would not re-plug (well I would actually get rid of it for naps as well) and see if she can settle on her own. If not, you might have to do pu/pd to help her out. This might stuff up naps for a few weeks but in the end once the paci is gone, she won't be waking you up at night asking for a re-plug....

Last night not good at all. She was practically up all night. I even had to bring her to bed with us (that has only happened twice in 9 months) She was not easily settled actually I could barely settle her. She was in some kind of pain. Her cry was a pain cry. When she woke this morning she had a stuffy nose but no fever. She has been rubbing her mouth, and ear, has the clear runny nose, not wanted to suck on bottle or paci. I think it is teething but I hope its not an ear infection. I felt so sorry for her.

I am so sorry you had a tough night . Maybe take her to the docs to rule out cold/flu/infection
