Hoping he grows out of it soon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2030293 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 08:34:13 +0000 Ree723 2030293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through something similar for a few days around 10 months. We don't have a video monitor so it was hard to tell what was going on at first, but I managed to sneak in her room undetected a couple of times and realised that she was screaming as she was burrowing down in her cot and snuggling her lovey. I had thought she was standing up and screaming, but nope, she was just getting comfortable for the night - I think it was just her way of releasing excess energy before going to sleep for the night. It passed after a few days and now she is back to chatting to herself, with a little intermittent fuss here and there as she goes off to sleep. She is 11.5 months now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2030246 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 07:34:27 +0000 illumina 2030246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Similar to what @Foodnerd81: describes...my daughter (16 months) goes through the odd few days/week of crying at bedtime probably every couple of months. We remain consistent and leave her to it. It passes pretty quick. I remember around 10 months it seemed particularly bad as she was working on crawling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2030071 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 23:32:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 2030071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: too late to edit but realized I wrote 28 months- she is almost 18 months. Doesn't really change anything to my point though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2030060 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 23:24:35 +0000 lemondrop 2030060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, 10 months has been the pits sleep wise for both of my boys. It will pass! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2030054 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 23:19:20 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2030054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 3.5 months, he always cries/screams when putting down for naps, but not bedtime. If it lasts more than 10 minutes, I get him up and try the nap 30 min to an hour later. I hope this ends sometime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2029913 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:42:57 +0000 Grace 2029913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine did this around 13-14 months. It was so weird. I'd put her in her crib, she'd scream bloody murder for exactly 2 min and then fall asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2029871 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:14:26 +0000 twodoghouse 2029871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: Glad he seems ok otherwise! Hope he works through this phase quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2029857 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 21:04:48 +0000 blackbird 2029857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 minutes? Meh....excess, pent up energy? E goes through this sometimes but it doesn't last very long! A few days or something....then it stops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2029848 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 20:59:00 +0000 Madison43 2029848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: same. We just went through one at 14 months. I never know what causes it but it always stops as suddenly as it starts. But it sucks, so I feel for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2029809 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 20:31:02 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2029809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: thanks for chiming in :)<br /> Seems to be only sleep related. He's fine when he's on his back for other things like playing or diaper changes and he's been super happy lately so I don't think it's his ears. He has a doc appt this week though so I'll ask. </p> <p>@Foodnerd81: oh I'm sorry you just had a week like this. So rough. Hopefully he gets over this quick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2029795 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 20:22:55 +0000 twodoghouse 2029795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could it be separation anxiety? Does he have issues when you leave him other times, or is it only sleep related? Could he have an ear infection? Maybe laying down is painful? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2029794 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 20:21:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 2029794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we've had spurts like this. Normal for her is to roll around for a few minutes and go to sleep, but every once in a while she will have a few days to a week or more where she screams when I put her down. Like your LO, staying with her just prolongs the crying and she falls asleep faster if we leave her alone to cry but I hate it! The good news is it usually lasts less than a week and then she gradually goes back to normal. She's almost 28 months and we just had one of those weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-month-old-has-started-crying-himself-to-sleep#post-2029789 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 20:18:52 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2029789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else have a LO that went through this kind of thing? For every nap and bedtime DS would sometimes chatter for a minute or two and then be out like a light. For the past week or so he SCREAMS until he falls asleep for every single nap and at night. We just leave him because he eventually falls asleep and if we go in he loses his mind. Usually it lasts for up to 5 minutes.</p> <p>Any advice? I feel so bad. He pretty much starts to cry as soon as we lie him down and begin putting his sleep sack on. His naps have also gone back to 30 mins :( </p>
