She's dry, she's fed,  and she is obviously tired but she won't sleep.  I have went in there picked her up given her extra loving checked her diaper several time and offered her more milk.  I have fixed her crib blankets and even given her motrin just in case it's her teeth (she is teething she has 12 teeth plus 2 coming in) I just laid her down for the 4th time but she is in there screaming.  I usually let her cry for 5-10 minutes and then go in.  She has now been crying for about 15 minutes. I feel bad just letting her keep crying anybody got any other ideas I can try?  She shoes no indication of being sick or being in pain, she has been fine all day.

    Could she be over-tired?  DD has a really hard time settling down if she's too tired.  She actually did this one night last week.  I went in every 10 mins. or so and eventually had to stop going in...it seemed to rile her up even more by me going in and out like that.  Once I stopped going in, she cried for about 20 mins and then conked out for the night.  GL!

    Have you tried playing her music? That helps our DS go to sleep.

    She's such a spoiled mommy's girl I couldn't take the crying anymore so I went in and picked her up. I took her in my room and laid her beside me in the bed and cuddled her.  She was asleep in less than 2 minutes.  I just laid there with her for a while because she rarely sleeps on me anymore and rarely every wants to cuddle with me and I miss the newborn cuddling phase so much.  I just hope that her not wanting to sleep thing is just because her routine is so out of whack because of the holidays.
