Clotho!Clotho!
in Preemies
so ds was doing really well getting up only 1 or 2 times a night. then he started teething and started waking up 3-4 times a night which was annoying but still doable. Well the last 3 night he has gotten up 45 mins to 1 hour! I am so exhausted and i have no idea what to do. I pretty much have to nurse him back to sleep now (which he never did before) so dh can only help so much. His teeth finally popped out a couple of days ago and I was thinking he would start sleeping better but that is not the case. Nothing else has changed. He still eats the same during the day, has the same nap routine, and is not acting at all sick, and doesn't have a fever. So how do I get him to start sleeping better and stop having to be nursed back to sleep? TIA

    We got a stern pep talk from the Pedi after DD was 6 mo. old adjusted.  The Pedi said that at 6 mo., she was practicing a learned behavior (crying = Mom and a snack).  The Pedi told us to try letting her cry, and then see if she could catch up on the snacking during the day.  She only cried the first night for a long time, and it was a tired (not hysterical) cry.  In short, we are now at 12 hrs. per night + naps during the day.  I don't know if this will work for everyone, but it has saved my mental health now that I can STTN myself!  GL!

    ds is just 6 months adjusted so maybe this is what we need to try. but usually his cry is pretty hysterical and not as much his tired cry. :( Don't know what to do maybe we'll just have to let him cry tonight. Atleast dh is off work tomorrow so I won't be on my own all day again.

    Have you tried giving some Motrin before putting him down at night?
