14 month old getting up and staying up?
Answer:
I went through that with my daughter. The pediatrician said that she needed to learn to get herself back to sleep so I should let her cry. I'd go in to make sure there was nothing wrong, not say a word to her, lay her back down, cover her and walk away. It took 3 nights of doing that (might want to do it on a weekend when you don't have to work or the whole household won't be exhausted the next day) and she stopped the crying and started sleeping through the night. Also, don't give her anything but water in a night bottle. The sugars in the milk can cause severe problems with her teeth. We've seen little kids who needed their teeth pulled because the sugar from the milk or juice that sat on the teeth during the night rotted the teeth!!
It's not going to be easy, but you will help her learn to get back to sleep by herself. Good luck!!
That must be stressfull...maybe she's sick or just seeking attention.
i dont know where abouts ur from but here in Sydney, Australia theres places you can take ur baby to sleep where they teach you how to get your baby into a night routine!! there called Sleep Centres, you should definately ask your doctor about it!! there great!!
maybe shes teething?! try giving her some panadol or dymadon, nurofen watever it is u use, she might even be getting stomach aches!
she'll grow out of it but maybe you should just try and pat her bak to sleep then put her bak into the cot, dont play games with her or even have conversations with her, maybe try and keep her up REALLY late!! my son is 18months old and when he was at that age he had 2 sleeps, one at about 10am for about a hour and one at 2pm for a hour or sumtimes abit later, then i tried to keep him up till real late like 9pm or 10pm and he slept through and only woke up once for a bottle (he still does!)!! goodluck
I don't know if you have tried this but, try putting a mobile type thing in her bed that shines on the ceiling. It i not a good idea to put baby to bed with a bottle is causes ear problems. All you can do is let her cry. Crying does not hurt a baby if noting is wrong. If she knows you are going to get up she will continue to do so. Just go to her bed every half hour or so and check on her lay her down and walk away if need be sit by her bed and don't look at her. Just keep laying her down and walking away. But you have to be consistent.
My 25 month is the same way. We've had her at sleep clinics even satadated her, but nothing helps.
The only the thing we can do is let her fall asleep in our bed with us and when she is asleep we put her in her own bed.
If she wakes up we either do it over again or one of us sits in her room with her til she falls asleep again.
I know it doesnt help much, but I am 37 weeks pregant so anything I can do to get some sleep I'll try, even if she spends the whole nitgh in my bed
I don't know if you have tried this, it sounds like you have tried everything, but when she gets up let her stay up all day. Don't let her sleep at all during the day until a suitable bedtime for you. I know it is hard not getting any sleep but doing this for about three days should do the trick. If it doesn't work ask your doctor. Also if she is fine(dry fed comfortable ect..) you should let her cry herself to sleep, it wont kill her to cry that's what babies do. Good Luck!
DEAR
PUT HER IN THE BED WITH YOU UNTIL SHE IS ALL THE WAY A SLEEP THEN PUT HER IN HER BED AND SHE SHOULD STILL BE NURSING ONCE AT NAP TIME AND ONCE AT NIGHT TO KEEP HER LITTLE TUMMY FULL THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER OK
TAKE CARE
well what ur doing is really great! maybe u should put ur foot down harder..u should letting her cry for 2 hours..i have tried that and my kids just drop of to sleep..and i suggest going outside of the house once she starts because u might not be able to stand her screams
Hi,
It sounds to me that your daughter is very intelligent and has a great thirst for stimulation. Her brain is working overtime and I recommend that you only let her sleep for a short time during the day - wake her up if she sleeps to long. I know its hard when they are sound asleep and you know she will be grizzly and grumpy but oversleeping is most likely a major factor in the 2am waking. Another factor will be over stimulation before bedtime. Try very little interaction an hour before bedtime ie. only soothing talking, no games, tv quiet, no food (only bottle) and lights low. Also is she in a grobag/sleeping bag at night? I cant recommend these highly enough. This works for our son who is now 2 and sleeps right though. Our son also has a bottle at night and has had no problems from it at all! It makes him so happy and soothed I dont care if he has it until he is 10!! I dont believe babies cry for no reason, it is the only way they can communicate - until their needs are met, so its very important they know they are safe, etc. At 14mths she probably doesnt understand the concept of wrapping your around her finger!
