Up to this point, Max has been a pretty good sleeper. He went down easy and has been sleeping 12 hours straight through since 16 months, prior to that waking once every few nights to nurse. He takes good naps - 2 to 3 hrs most days.
We've just had a huge move, staying at Grandma's for a week in between our houses, vaccines 2 weeks ago, rotavirus a week ago, and the time change, so I think he's way out of whack. To put it mildly. He's been waking at 5:30am, taking an 1.5 hr nap if lucky, and having a hard time falling asleep at night. (So he's gone from 14-15 hrs to 12ish hours on a good night) He is waking up to 6 times a night, crying out for me or dh, and needing to be settled or just cuddled. We've been trying to put him down tonight for over a hour, and he keeps crying every couple minutes for me after I leave the room. It's just so unlike him. Dh finally went to try to rock him to sleep and put him down completely asleep, something we haven't had to do since he was very young.
He has all his teeth except his 2yr molars, but I don't feel those coming yet. I don't suspect illness or ear infection. His room is set up like his old one was, same bed, same black-out curtains, same fan. His routine is the same. He has been eating well and playing hard. He had a huge language leap a few weeks ago.
I've been through this before and I fell silly asking, but I'm just at a loss of what to try or what to change. My guess is that he's overtired, with such a lack of sleep. Anyone?
