Night Waking -- Help!!

BaileyMom39 · April 2013

My daughter has always been a good sleeper...down at 7pm, up at 8am except during the week when I wake her around 6am to leave for daycare. A few weeks ago she started waking at 6am consistently which is early but we can deal with that. Now she is waking up during the night too! She screams and screams! We used to be able to let her cry it out and she would be ok but it is not working. She just stands in her crib bawling and sometimes gets really worked up - we eventually have to go in. It doesn't take long to calm her down and she will go back to sleep. No matter what time she wakes in the middle of the night she still wakes at 6am and if the night waking is too early sometimes she wakes up more than once. She's not hungry and it doesn't seem to be teething as she doesn't act like she's in pain and will snuggle up on me and calm down easily. I just don't know what to do because we are big advocates of CIO yet it doesn't seem to be the solution to this....Any thoughts / advice please!

My DD is like that a lot. Sometimes it is teeth, and before she got tubes in her ears, it was ear infections. She always calms immediately when I rock her, and sometimes there are no other signs she is hurting. I rock her when she needs me,
