She's just getting her last 2 molars on the top so we have been giving her Motrin but I think the worst is over. These 2-year molars are the only teeth that have ever bothered her.
She's definitely a very alert child, always has been. Thinking back on it, I think she realized something was going on in the week leading up to us leaving for vacation which probably contributed to the sleep issues before we even left. I think she was so excited and stimulated while on vacation that she had a hard time shutting stuff out. She was so clingy the entire vacation so I think some separation anxiety is in the mix as well.
I think maybe doing an earlier uncapped nap with a longer WT before bed is what might work for her to get her caught back up. She's so exhausted by 1230/100 and then takes only a 1.25 hour nap (OT for her). It's enough to keep us from being able to do EBT because I feel like she needs closer to 5 hrs awake time before bed so by the time she falls asleep her day is way too long (14+ hours). I know she's OT because every night her first NW is 2-3 hours after falling asleep and she will go right back to sleep with some soothing.
Additionally, I'm really getting into more natural ways of treating my LO's issues (sleep, teething, constipation), specifically with essential oils. I'm just wondering if there is a forum for that?
