Up in the night!

well after reading all these forums on here, i know that it normal for my Josh to change his sleep pattern from time to time..
but it's not so much the waking up in the night i mind, but it's for how long! it woud normaly sleep from 7pm till 7/8am but the past few nights he has been waking say about 11/12ish and staying up till anything from 3 to 5! he'd drift off in our arms brifely and when to go to put him down he wakes again within minutes .. but inbetween that he has been crying uncontrollably at times.
i've thought of everything like teething, wind, bellyache or its just a fase - but he had paracetmol last night cause i thought it was teething.
but guess what am asking is do you have any ideas that help get your little one off to sleep? or another idea why he could be waking up?
;thank you from a veryyy tired mummy!! lol xxx

P.S did any of your little ones only teeth badly at night?

  • How old is Josh hun? Are you using anything for colic, like Infacol? If I were you I'd check him, clean his bum, give him a bottle, give him calpol then put him down and use controlled crying. Trouble with babies (or with mine anyway) is occasionally they break their routine for a genuine reason, but then that broken routine becomes their new routine and you have to put their old routine back in xxxx

  • Hi @Bethan Tegan is teething and it only seems to bother her at night, she's not been up as much as your LO but for about an hour or so at night or she just wakes every 5-10 minutes and needs to have her tummy rubbed to go back to sleep :) I'mguessing you've tried calpol and teething gel? Does he seem in pain while he is awake or is he his normal self? x
