Daughter was similar. <br />As they got older, and dropped daytime sleeps, they slept longer at night but woke 4 or 5 or more times every night, and getting them to sleep in the first place was always a battle.<br />Some kids are just poor sleepers.<br />You should definitely rule out any medical problems, but it may just be that he's one of 'those' kids.<br />Mine grew out of it before 3 years old. <br />Not comforting, I know.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16561240096806868742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574377801276999512.post-68484433753262765692010-07-06T16:03:33.114-07:002010-07-06T16:03:33.114-07:00@katie - i've never heard of that, so it may b...@katie - i've never heard of that, so it may be something to look into.<br />@twenty three - we have a good bedtime routine, and he has little trouble falling asleep by 7pm. Trouble is he still wants to fall asleep in my arms and then he wakes after being in his cot for about an hour.<br />@Lori - thanks for the cyber hug!<br />@Chantal - i've commented on your blog that i feel like i know what your going through. Sounds like you have it worse though, so cyber hugs to you...<br />@Pumpkin - yep, Dad is still taking him for a walk most days. Except that its winter here now so sometimes its too cold, and on those days Flynny gets agitated because he loves going for his walks and is grumpy when poppy doesnt come and get him!Amy xxoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829443038522374160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574377801276999512.post-16737407269264383842010-07-06T11:37:52.990-07:002010-07-06T11:37:52.990-07:00I've been wondering where you were!

All I can say is what people say to me, hang on, it will pass and make sure you're telling people if it's getting a bit much and you need a break.

He's 8 months old. Claire and Ethan were both out of the bassinet in our room and in their own cribs at 4 months. Grayson slept in the bassinet 3 times. We put him in the crib once and he actually screamed. Driving him around makes him cry more. I'm so tired.Chantelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00530738298752681517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574377801276999512.post-80467899833912351082010-07-06T05:33:12.434-07:002010-07-06T05:33:12.434-07:00Oh dear.

Does he have a good bedtime ...Shit, sounds awful. <br /><br />Does he have a good bedtime routine? He probably does, but it may be worth revisiting. My little guy seems to like the following: <br /><br />wake <br />play (a little - nothing too hectic) <br />bath <br />dress<br />boob<br />wrap, lights out, kiss forehead, lights out<br />bed<br /><br />Also, I've found baths work really well. If he's hysterical, then go for a middle-of-the-night bath just to chill him out. And maybe put some lavendar drops inside - it is meant to facilitate sleep. <br /><br />Also, if you're desperate, maybe just drive around. We did that once when my then-14 mo daughter went nuts in the middle of the night when we were in Europe. It too helped chill her out. <br /><br />This too will pass. It always does. Good luck. Sleeplessness is shitty. <br /> <br />x P23Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574377801276999512.post-11016288540861095612010-07-06T04:29:43.915-07:002010-07-06T04:29:43.915-07:00Your son sounds exactly like mine.

My son's problem was a yeast infection (candida) in the gut. <br /><br />A good kinesiologist would be able to tell you if he has it. Get them to check for food intolerances, too, because they are a common side-effect of candida.<br /><br />Does he have a red bottom, or nappy rash that keeps coming back? (a symptom of candida) if so, it will be making him itch during the night, which adds to his woes. (He'll also have pains in the tummy, and always seems to be at specific times of the night)<br /><br />You can get probiotics specially for children, that you can mix in with his formula, or solids. It will probably take a couple of weeks before you notice any difference.<br /><br />Don't expect your doctor to diagnose candida. They don't seem to believe in it...<br /><br />For some reason, it seems to affect night-time sleeping, but not so much daytime sleeping.<br /><br />Good luck. I remember exactly how hard it is.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01657019147960067075noreply@blogger.com
