I've been having a little issue with my son lately. NOrmally he goes to bed between 8:30-9pm and sleeps till 7:30-8am. He sleeps straight thru too. Well this week he’s still going to bed at that time but he’s starting to cry and whine at 5:30 till whenever we get him out. Now I know he’s working on his 2 yr molars but don't know if this is the cause or its something else. I stated to my husband that I was going to put him down earlier tonight just b/c he didn't get the good nighttime sleep like normal. maybe if I push I up 30min it will help? And since he’s tossing and turning so early (5:30am), he is really exhausted for his nap way earlier than normal- at like 11/11:30am. And he usually takes his nap around 1ish. So what do you think?
Answer:
I'm going through the same thing with my 21 month-old grandson. I'd say that the teeth are probably the real issue. His mouth is a tiny tender in the back so he's probably not eating as well as he should, the teeth are coming in and this is somethiung new for him cus those gums used to mash everything and now it hurts. Let him work it out for himself, just offer him some lap time. He'll get his schedule back on track on his own. In the meantime, make sure you are getting enough rest yourself, Cranky babies are hard enough to deal with even when you're not a cranky parent yourself.
Answer:
I have the exact opposite problem.
I put my 24 month daughter down for bed between 8-8:30pm, and she wakes up between 9-10:30, sleeping all night long.
check to see if his teethies are coming in, and if so, just do what you did for him when he was teething- tylenol, orajel…
you're probably gonna have to work at it again to get him back into a decent routine.
Good luck!
Answer:
My daughter is nearly 19 months, and goes to bed between 7 and 7:30, and sleeps until 7:15am. Your son still needs his nap, don't take it away like somebody else stated. My daughter sleeps two hours during the day.
It is likely his teeth, and this phase will pass.
Answer:
Take away the nap time. This will grant him to sleep in. Theres no real math here.
Answer:
8:00 is a good time to begin. Make sure he goes to the bathroom first. no drinking after 7 and he will be fine.
Answer:
well all i know is they should have naps in the day, get at LEAST 10 hours of sleep at night, and if they are tired in the morning, more sleep. but sorry i don't know anything about the crying.
Answer:
Baby's go through change in sleep hours and patterns all the time. The Molars might be one issue. There could be others too that you will never know and will rsolve by themselves. Just make sure he's safe and healthy.
One hour of sleep here or there doesnt make any fifference. If and when he needs sleep he’ll get it. You could be running around shopping and if he's sleepy in his stroller he will sleep.
The only thing to avoid is to use your convinience, all the time that’s, to guide his sleep paterns.
Outside of that enjoy this time , its not going to come back.
Answer:
He’s teething, normal thing. Ease the pain with Calgel or any other teething gel. I would consider giving him Panadol before bed-time - it could be fever that keeps him up.
Try putting him to bed later, than usual if you find it hard waking up at 6 in the morning. He might sleep superior and longer if he is more tired when he goes to bed.
Also, is he potty-trained? My little sister started waking at this age, because she was about to go to the toilet, and after having a wee on her potty she would go back to sleep peacefully.
Answer:
baby's need to sleep. But you don't want him to be asleep to much you want him to be active. you can put him to bed around 9:30 or do more activities with him during the day, so he's active and fatigued when its time to go to sleep. Also its important to be ready for him so he isn't waiting forever to get his milk or whatever. and if your willing to try everything then get a couple scented candles that are supposed to make you sleepy. blow them out so the aroma goes around make sure your baby is somewhat close so when you can't smell them he still can.
