Why will my baby not sleep at night, it is serioulsy killing me.  He goes down at 7pm and then has been getting up by 11pm and up for anywhere from 1-4 hours.  He will not settle back in his own bed, which is hard because we are not in our own place yet so I do not like to let him CIO and go back gto sleepl  THis has been day four, any advice or will this break, he is currently teethinga gain getting his top teeth so I understand it is a little more painful, but please I am at my wits end. I must add, we just recently moved so there is a one hour time difference, but this really is not affecting our other current schedule.  I am not sure what to do.

    even if you were in a place to let him cio, i really hope you wouldn't do it while he's teething. Have you tried giving him motrin? teething can be really painful, he doesn't know what's going on. Mine still wakes up every couple hours, I refuse cio as an option so i'm reading the no-cry sleep solution and it's helping but it's a slow process.

    DS did this when he was teething, but once it was over he was back to STTN. It was like 4 or 5 nights.  But try NIGHTTIME Orajel, and ibuprophen seems to work better than Tylenol.  GL

    My 9 month old usually goes down for a late nap at 8pm and is up again soon afterwards until 10:30.  That is just his normal pattern.  He does always go back to sleep then, I feel for you because that "1-4 hours" sounds kind of rough!

     Teething does throw everything for a loop... but could you keep him up after 7?  Or would he be really cranky?  Seems like if you could keep him awake later he might be more ready for sleep later.  Maybe also work on a sleep routine- warm bath, books, feeding, etc.  

     I personally would never expect a baby to STTN consistently at all at that age, especially not while teething... but it does sound reasonable for you to want him to sleep SOME at night!  Hope you all get some sleep soon... and until this stops, maybe try to nap at 7 when he does. :-)
