10 month kid started to wake up contained by the dark?
Hi everyone
I wonder can I get some advice please. My LO has merely turned 10 months and last night and the night past woke around 3am really crying sore. I tried to settle her by placing my hand on her(didnt work) then I lifted her and shussed her but why I put her final in her cot she went crazy! I repeated this for around 20 mins but eventually brought her into bed with me and we dozed sour.
She has been in her cot joyfully for 10 months and doesnt get fed in the dark. She wasnt hungry because she didnt take all her bottle both mornings and slept in longer than she would have(usually up at 7am but lay surrounded by to 8am -heaven!)
She doesnt seem to have seperation anixity during the day and within have been no changes to her rountine. Im dreading tonight as I dont want to trade name a habit of bringing her into bed but dont want to distress her by letting her cry in her cot.
Any suggestions? Is this normal?
Thanks surrounded by advance
I think it is totally average, but I think it probably is separation anxiety if there is nothing physically wrong near her. My son started this around 8 months and it went on for a few weeks til I got so exhausted that I decided to consent to him do a little crying and see what happened. I just did the check within thing, where I'd leave him for 2 mins. and later go in, shush him and leave again for a few minutes. The first darkness it took about 20 mins. but the next night I with the sole purpose had to go back contained by once, and then it didn't happen the third night. He did it a few more times over the subsequent week, but has been great since. Just reassure her you are there but don't pick her up...she have to learn that nighttime is for sleeping...unless you are happy with her contained by your bed (I am not someone who can sleep with my babies, but it works for some!) Good luck and hope you get some sleep!
I suggest it's teething. My 9 month old has 4 coming through at the same time close at hand the back and she just bursts out crying for no reason. She usually sleeps 12 hours a dark with no feeds but she's been wake up, having a bit of a moan and then going to sleep.
Good luck. Try her with teething gel and Calpol and she'll stir back off again.
Answers: Sounds like teething is very potential. Its often the #1 cause when sleep patterns exchange at this age.
If you don't already, try using a mobile or music box and use it in establishing bedtime routines - every night and at naptime. When she wakes up within the night, don't pick her up - just turn on the music box / mobile.
Many books say it is awfully common for babies to rouse and fuss when moving into a deeper sleep state and that us rushing in and trying to "fix" it actually wake up the baby more. They recommend waiting 20 minutes to be sure the baby is actually awake and fussing earlier trying any interventions.
You know your baby's cry - is she crying out in pain or just fussing? If she seem to be hurting you could give her a dose of Motrin or Tylenol while she's lying in the crib, turn on the music box and wait to see if she'll shift back to sleep on her own.
My son will go in these spurts too - every month or so he'll want to rouse up at 3 or 4 like clockwork. He is teething and all the above ideas own worked for us. Within a night or two he's back to sleeping through the night. Source(s): pediatric nurse, mommy of a teething little boy
Hi
My little girl Madison did exactly the same at ten months, she will be 11 months on the 22nd! Unfortunately the strength visitor said that this is quite normal and only to calm her. It did go on for a few weeks but Madison has finally started to restful down only crying at 2/3am onc or twice a week. What i found was walking round the room or taking her in to another bedroom still surrounded by the dark for a few minutes to calm her. I also changed her nappy and sang twinkle twinkle to her
All the best and appropriate care and good luck x x

Is she teething, maybe? If she is, it might be soothing to her only just to know that you're there and she's safe even though her gums hurt.
