12 month old suddenly crying / screaming at nap/bedtime
« on: January 12, 2017, 22:07:49 pm »
So Cruz was 1 today and he's always gone down pretty well for bed and naps sometimes cried a little but generally just normally goes right down to sleep
The past week he had just cried and screamed the second he goes down for naps or bedtime after about half hour he settles down and goes to sleep
I have two other boys 4,2 as well and the 2 year old goes to bed not long after the baby
I have no idea what's wrong with him he has cut a tooth but he doesn't seem to be bothered by his gums there not sore or swollen looking
He even screams if we so much as put him in his room while I run a bath etc and I mean screams
He was on sma lactouse free milk as a dr said to try that as he sometimes had runny poop as a baby any way he's had dairy tho in his diet from 7is months plenty of yoghurts cheese cows milk in breakfast etc he then started having cows milk for morning bottle about 2 weeks ago now maybe
Just the last couple of days he's had cows milk for bed
I can't help but wonder if this is causing the crying but surely not he's fine in the day has still being sleeping thru mainly but is back to waking up early 5am
I just don't no what to do I want to be able to put him to bed and then go to see to my other boys and relax as normal
Any advice tips? X

His routine is normally 6am wake up
9.30-10.30/11. Nap
2ish - 3pm nap
6pm bed

But lately he's waking at 5am again and therefore napping earlier !
He really fights the naps now tho x

Hi there I'd prob put it down to developmental birthday shenanigans with some SA mixed in. Maybe just try playing more in his room so he's more accepting of being in there. EW will prob be due to push in A time needed on first nap if it's going to be the longer nap or cutting first nap down to CN and making second one longer.

Thanks Hun well he Got up at 6.30 this morning after me having to go in and sit by his cot st 4.40
He was up 4 hours and went for his nap straight down to sleep to wake crying 30 mins later he's gone quiet again for now but we will see how long it lasts ..

How much sleep should he be having of a day now ? I've noticed if he doesn't get around 2 hours he's worse at night I just find it hard to fit the naps in with the awake time getting longer x

Sounds pretty much like our days and nights with naps and wake ups.

I'd say 1 nap 30 mins ish and 1 around 1.5 hours with 11 at night butbyyats just a guide really.x
