Since we got home last sat ( 17th) from Mexico my ds ( 27months) has had terrible bedtimes. He does NOT want to go to bed at all, he cries uncontrollably as i put him into his bed. He gets so worked up so quickly and starts to hyperventilate... He tries everything, rub back, rub head, water, milk, sit on his bed beside him, etc it's like he doesn't want to be alone when falling asleep... i have no idea what to do. I don't want to get into habits rubbing, etc but usually when i do he's sleeping in 5 min or so otherwise it's a 2 hr battle to get him to sleep. He also is having night wakes and then will only go back to sleep with me beside him!
i just took him today to the Dr just to make sure it wasn't a ear infection tc, she said his ears looked fine but when she did the readings, they were a bit low which would mean a bit of fluid there somewhere. so she gave me meds. He did get a cold this sat and a cough and is very congested but this was all a week prior when it all started. He has all his teeth now, so that's not it. he did get his last top molar over the last week or two but it's 1/4 the way out, so i would think that wouldn't bother him anymore but he still does complain about it once in a while saying "teeth hurt"
would they still hurt being 1/4 out now???
She told me that he sounds anxious and to give him gravol before bed to relax him and after a week he should be very comfortable being at home again, sleeping in his own bed. If he were to start up after that week of gravol then to bring him in and we would look into something else. what do you all think......
