Success after IF

What's your take on this?

G has been sleep trained (ferber) for two months. He has gone down at night without a fuss since then. Naps are still hit or miss because we aren't always home (he comes to work with me and I can't always let him cry it out when we're here).

The past 4-5 days he has completely screamed through naps and he's crying for about 20-30 minutes every night.

What gives? He went to the pedi today for his 6 months and no ear infection, etc.

Do you have any ideas on what is going on? Yesterday his nap was a 90 minute ordeal and he never slept.

Should I keep going in at intervals or am I making it worse?

TIA!

  • He's almost 7 months if that makes a difference.

  • Maybe teething.  He is right at that age.  DD`s sleep went to crap when she started teething.

  • do you wait until he's showing signs of fatigue to put him down for a nap? that's what we have to do with DS--putting him down at the same time every day never worked for us, even though it's what the books tell you to do.

    i would keep going in at intervals, although maybe increase the intervals by a minute or two each day the way you did when you originally ferberized. i bet this will pass. DS occasionally requires re-ferberization and after a few days of hell he always goes back to being fine (going down without a fuss and sleeping through the night).

    Yup. Us too. And the bad sleep always came before we could see any swollen gums or teeth underneath ready to pop through. That always comes a week later.

    I would guess teething or hitting a milestone (DD's sleep was always horrible before she learned a new skill). Or it could always just be a phase... DD went through plenty of bad sleeping phases for no reason (or at least we couldn't find a reason!)

    This is us too...and my little guy is the same age!    It happened to us twice and both times there were cranky nights followed by a new tooth soon after!

  • Teething sounds very likely. Thanks for all your input!
