Anyone find a magical treatment that can get the DC to get back on track. My DS had a stomach virus about 3 weeks ago and has not slept thru the night since. He is hungry - and takes about 6 oz of milk when he wakes up... he eats dinner at approx 6 pm. Has a bottle (he was born 3 mos early so still on the bottle at a year) around 7-7:30 then goes to bed great -- been waking up between 1:30-3 each night. I have tried to let him CIO, 30 minutes and he is still up... anything I can do or just wait this out????? TIA!

    It is probably just a phase.  There is a 13 month sleep regression and a lot of kids get their 1 year molars right after their birthday.  Sleep was difficult for us from 12.5-13.5 months.  DD went back to sleeping well when the disturbance passed.

    Sarah's going through the same thing and it just started within the last week.  I think she's teething (she does this thing where she constantly rubs her tongue over her gums when she's teething) so I gave her some Tylenol then put her back in her crib.  I follow the Ferber method and she finally fell back to sleep after about 45 minutes each night.  Probably about as long as it took for the Tylenol to kick in.  I finally got smart and gave her tylenol before bedtime last night and she actually slept through the night!

    I'm right there with you!  Darby has been waking up between 4:00 am and 5:00 am every morning.  He doesn't want to be awake - he just wants to snuggle and try to fall back asleep.  At first I thought he was waking up hungry - but after 10 days straight of it he got 2 more teeth.  He was STTN again for about a week and then it started again.  We Ferberized him at 10 months and he was the BEST sleeper after that.  Darn teeth!!!

    DS seemed to regress after being sick around 12 months, after being a very good sleeper since around 5 months when we ferberized him.  We retrained him after a couple weeks of not sleeping well, and he was back on track after a night or two, it just took effort on our part. he is doing great again.  gl--it's so hard when they go through phases like this!
