My son is almost 20 months old and has been a good sleeper for a long time, only waking if something was really wrong. My husband was recently transferred and we had to sell our house and move out of state. His company put us into a Residence Inn while we look for a house and complete the sale of ours. I understand that this could be upsetting for him, but we've been here about a month. His usual routine before we moved was wake up between 7:30 and 8:00 with a nap from 1:00 to 3:00 and bedtime around 8:30. Now we are having NW almost every night. We've eliminated tummy troubles. He's had teeth coming in but I don't think that is it b/c this has been going on for about 3-4 weeks. It could be night terrors, although he's awake when I go in there. My biggest problem is that when I go in to check on him, he is wide awake for 2 hours. If I leave the room to see if he'll soothe himself and go to sleep, he screams at the top of his lungs and bangs his head on the crib. I've tried changing his diaper, giving him milk, etc. Since we're even in a hotel I put him in the bed in his room and laid with him several times, and it still took him 2 hours to go back to sleep. I'm 32 weeks pregnant, so PU/PD is not an option. Last night, I decided that I needed to stop the lying in bed with him, so I got pillows and put my hand through the bars in his crib to rub his bak and let him know that I am there but it still took 1.5 hours for him to decide he was tired and go back to sleep. I don't know what to do at this point. We're going to be moving out of here soon, but I don't think it is being here that is the problem. I would really like to get him back on track before the new baby comes. Any ideas?
