DS has been waking up frequently the past 2 days hysterical. More screaming than actual crying - gut busting screaming. I'll have to check his mouth today and see if he has more teeth coming through or not.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/21-month-waking-up-in-the-early-morning-screaming#post-1370020 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:14:08 +0000 Freckles 1370020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: @MamaBehr: @mediagirl: @mrbee: Okay, thanks guys. I was worried that i'm just popping her with advil for no reason! She had been pretty good with teething until her molars.</p> <p>Sleeping in her crib is not the most comfortable sleeping arrangement...i'm usually pressed up against one side to give her room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/21-month-waking-up-in-the-early-morning-screaming#post-1369985 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:05:41 +0000 mrbee 1369985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like teething or maybe night terrors!</p> <p>And wow, love that you get into the crib... amazing that you can sleep like that!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/21-month-waking-up-in-the-early-morning-screaming#post-1369979 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:03:49 +0000 mediagirl 1369979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm guessing she's in pain from something (teeth, probably) and it will stop eventually. I'm like you - I let her cry if it's not an upset cry but I will jump if she's screaming like you mention. I'll usually bring her into our room if she wakes up too early and screams like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/21-month-waking-up-in-the-early-morning-screaming#post-1369977 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:03:19 +0000 MamaBehr 1369977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those molars are BEASTS!! In all honesty, I would do what you are doing with the pain meds. DD was a fantastic teether (we didn't even know when she was getting teeth in) until those two year old molars. UGH! They were horrible. I would imagine this is just a phase and she will go back to sleeping once the molars are out :) (I hope for your sake at least!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/21-month-waking-up-in-the-early-morning-screaming#post-1369970 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:01:51 +0000 NovBaby1112 1369970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My guess is she is teething. Babies lightest sleep is around 4am, so they sometimes wake up from the pain then, esp if she is screaming. I would give advil when she wakes and then put her back in crib. Hopefully it ends soon! I always jump out of bed too when LO wakes up in hysterics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/21-month-waking-up-in-the-early-morning-screaming#post-1369897 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:49:22 +0000 Freckles 1369897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is not a daily occurrence and it also doesn't happen at the same time each night. Last week she woke up screaming and crying for me at 5am, so i ended up climbing in the crib with her and slept uncomfortably until 7:30am. It turns out she had/has 2 canines and 1 molar coming through. So the next night i gave her some advil before she went to sleep. She woke up at 4:30am but only cried for a few seconds before going back. I thought we were done?</p> <p>Last night she woke up at 3am screaming and crying hysterically! I was so tired and didn't know what to do with her crying that i automatically gave her advil (which i realize is stupid even though i know she's teething) and then climbed into crib, getting out at 4am. She slept until a little after 7.</p> <p>Has this happened to anyone? With regular crying i'll wait before responding, but i usually jump out of bed when she's in hysterics. Any advice/suggestions? </p>
