Hi ladies

We have just completed our first week of set nap times and things seem good. Better nap lenghts and longer nights. The last 3 nights we have had screaming/crying around 130/2. Last night she couldn't settle. The previous nights she self soothed before I got in to her room. I'm just starting to worry if this is habit starting or what. She does look like she is getting the top front teeth and I have been giving Advil before bed which would make it due to have more at 130ish. So I'm guessing its that. Even after staying with her 30 min to let drugs wear in and trying to rock her she was just so wrestles she couldn't sleep not crying just restless. I ended up bringing her into our bed where she slept and I didn't as she whimpered and tossed and turned till morning. I know I have read about dream meds but how do u do that if she is a tummy sleeper?

Hi Hun, what does your daytime routine look like - A times, nap times, etc?

Could definitely be the teeth -- would she settle easily if you picked her up and gave her meds around 10/11?

[Charjanemom]

We have dream meds at 1230. Worked like a charm

[Charjanemom]

We started set times over a week ago as I couldn't handle chasing a times so here is our day

W 630 (nights are lengthening so we are getting 7 wu sometimes)
S 930 wake her at 1130 usually sleeps till 11/1130
S 245-345 wake her up
S 730pm

Glad the 12:30 meds helped!  Forgot to ask, how old is she?

[Charjanemom]

She is 9.5 months but was born a month early.

My husband was looking after her last night. I heard her cry at 1230 but not sure if that was cuz he gave meds and she got startled or she woke out of pain. I can see th teeth. They are so close to cutting so I'm assuming its this and not a routine issue. What do you think?

[Erin M]

It sounds more like teeth to me -- your routine is pretty good for her age so I'd let it go until the teeth cut and see where you land after that.
