Lauren - interesting that you are ending a night from hell and I'm entering into one.   Afraid to start the sleep for fear of getting up in 10 minutes... >:( I think I have found our culprit...more food needed...  Sorry for you night... :(

have you or anyone else, thought about a later bedtime.  I know there was that link earlier, but I think I may try it and continue the catnap.  I'm willing to do just about anything right now.  I know that some of you ladies have tried that and it didn't work???? so confused.

A time for us today was exactly 2 hrs and 20 minutes for the first two and then 4 hours for the second.  (a small 10 minute nap in the car before bed...does that count?) and she had a total of 3 hours worth of naps. 40 minute morning and 2 hour afternoon (3 with the car nap).  Down at 7:15 and up at 10 pm  and has woke 3 times since.  It's 10:55  :(

Kate I would prefer a leter bedtime so DH can see him regulary, but I was going by advise evrywhere else for an earlier one because they are supposed to sleep better.

when Calum was at his grans last week, she put him to bed at 2030  :o (because she didn't think he was tired  ::))  and he slept until 0730

I wish DH could see more of Zander too - he's only home before he's in bed a couple of times a week  :(  I'd be happy just to make it to 7pm again but because Zander is getting up so early (5.45 again this morning) his pm nap ends early and we don't make it much past 6.30pm.

Does Calum have any teeth yet Lauren?  Zander's bottom front two have been on the surface but under the gum for a few weeks now and I don't think they can be far away - I can't help but thinking all the sleep upset may be related.  He often wakes in the night screaming (like at 4.30am this morning) but he doesn't take that much soothing to get back to sleep.  This morning he didn't even roll over and lift his head up, he was just screaming  :'(

This was us EXACTLY last night at both wakings, you would have thought someone was in there trying to murder him!  What are you using for pain relief, I use either calpol or disprol 3month+  - might have to look into something else  ???

Calums top 2 front teeth are under the surface at the front IYKWIM rather than where the tooth should poke through.

Let's hope this is the cause for both of us!  I was giving him Medised at night for his cold which would have helped with any teething pains but lately I haven't really given him anything except Calgel when he wakes during the night.  I use Calpol or we have some Calprofen too which other mums have said they think works better.  I was talking to Sarah earlier and there they recommend gripe water because the extra saliva caused by teething can give your LO a tummy ache.  Zander's 2 front teeth are under the surface at the back!!

I've just put him down for his second nap (short one again this morning  ::)) but he doesn't sound very keen to comply!!

Hey girls,

The gripe water really helped calm Ella when teething (as she is now starting to break her top teeth) as all the excess saliva really irritates the tummy as it has a lot of enzymes in it. As well I cannot recommend enough Hyland Teething Tablets (available in the U.S.) as I had to bring them in when we visited the US a few weeks ago (we are in Canada). They work like a charm! I think if you cannot get these to try using a Camilia/Belladonna mix from a homeopath(this is what is in Hyland's Tabs) which helps with teething.  My husband and I are in the dental field, as well we recommend to our patients frozen washclothes, frozen bagels and frozen teething rings to chew during the day. Pressing on the gums and allowing the child to chew as much as possible will break the teeth through sooner. I hope this helps a little:)

I'm sat here crying now  :'( :'(

It's so silly because Zander's a pretty happy and relaxed baby but he has no reliable routine and I'm the sort of mum who struggles with that concept (I think most BW mums are).  I think he probably only needs a couple of hour's sleep a day now but I don't know how to space the naps out and we're just not getting to a normal bedtime anymore so he's up at the crack of dawn.  I don't know what to do next.

Stacy-
How old is your lo?  I am thinking your routine is where we are headed.  I think it may work for us to have some (longer) A time when we get home from dropping big sister off at preschool.
We're having a real off day today as we ran errands this morning and Jalyn WILL NOT sleep in the stroller.  Hoping for a long afternoon nap.
~Rachel

{{{{HUGS}}}} to those of you will so many issues.  Kelly, as I've told you before, I am right there with you about being in control.  Paige followed everything to a tee (apparently she read the book) so having Jalyn not do what she's 'supposed' when she's 'supposed' to has thrown me for a real loop.
