What is up with our babies? We go for her nine month checkup tomorrow and I'm looking forward to having her all checked out and hearing our doctor's thoughts. </p> <p>Last night she started to cry at 9. I went in every five minutes starting at 9:15. She stopped crying around 10, but I could tell she wasn't settled and content, so I went in and nursed her. She slept until 5 this morning.</p> <p>She's feeding herself now and much of the food doesn't get into her mouth. I wonder if last night she didn't get enough food before bed? It is a mystery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-regression-or-something-else#post-2337726 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 20:35:02 +0000 MrsTal 2337726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Ugh I'm sorry you are too, but it does help knowing we aren't alone. He did okay last night, up once before I went to bed and easily back to sleep and then up again at 5, so all in all a cake walk compared to the previous two nights. Let's see how tonight goes... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-regression-or-something-else#post-2336381 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 23:48:45 +0000 Happygal 2336381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: and it looks like another awful night here. Somehow it does help knowing someone else is in the same boat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-regression-or-something-else#post-2336314 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 20:43:57 +0000 cam 2336314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between 9 and 10 months DS would wake about half the time and be up for at least an hour, up to 3 hours. I ended up limiting his daytime naps but I'm not sure if that was what actually helped or just coincidental timing but it stopped. He wasn't inconsolable though, that's really hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-regression-or-something-else#post-2336292 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 20:26:27 +0000 MrsTal 2336292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gracecat: a month!?!? Oh goodness I'm going to need more coffee.</p> <p>@josina: I can't say for sure. They haven't said that he's fussy at the bottle at daycare and he hasn't been fussy when nursing but it's possible. We might make a doctors appointment just to make sure, especially if a night like lady night happens again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-regression-or-something-else#post-2335289 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 09:26:51 +0000 josina 2335289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it possible he has an ear infection? DS has had 5 and only 1 came with a fever... his nighttime sleep was worse and he was fussier with bottles, otherwise we wouldn't have known at all because he was happy as can be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-regression-or-something-else#post-2335205 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 08:39:00 +0000 gracecat 2335205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you've considered and ruled out teething and other medical issues, it probably is just a sleep regression. Not much to do but wait it out. When DD went thru her last regression we were tearing our hair out, considered and tried just about everything. After a month it suddenly ended for no reason. She had also been sleeping like a champ before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-regression-or-something-else#post-2335048 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 07:29:41 +0000 Happygal 2335048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: Ok, I confess to not reading the whole story, but I'm typing away and smiling b/c the night before, our nine month old decided to be a like a new baby and cry pitifully for me. She had been a little out of sorts, nothing major, all day, and cried when I cleaned her ear at bath time. I started to really worry it was an ear infection, so I went to her over and over. Started to make the mental list of calling the doctor in the morning, letting daycare know she wouldn't be there, finding a sub teacher......imagine my surprise when I went to find our darling angel in the morning with a big smile on her face and babbling away. Miracle healing! (ha)</p> <p>Who knows. Could have been that our heat wasn't working well, she did have a dirty diaper at one point, she's getting so many teeth, learning new things all the time.....I gave up trying to figure it out a long time ago. But since I knew she wasn't sick, I sent her to bed clean and well fed and said I wouldn't get up with her again until the early morning. She started to cry at 12:30 and may have cried more throughout the night, but she never got loud enough for me to hear. Got up at 5, nursed her, she slept until after 7.</p> <p>All that sharing to say that my nine month old got crazy, too! I hope your nights improve quickly. No sleep is no fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-regression-or-something-else#post-2335026 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 07:08:32 +0000 MrsTal 2335026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I thought that maybe too but he's fine at daycare drop off and seems chill. Could he still be going through that at night tho? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-regression-or-something-else#post-2335025 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 07:07:35 +0000 MrsTal 2335025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I was wondering if it might be something like that. He seemed so terrified of everything. Aren't kids unaware if it's a night terror? He seemed to know where he was and what was going on which was what made me hesitant to think it was a night terror. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-regression-or-something-else#post-2335023 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 07:05:08 +0000 FaithFertility 2335023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Separation?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-regression-or-something-else#post-2335005 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 06:45:57 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2335005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm do you think it could have been a night terror? DD1 got them about that time and they were awful and would last up to 1.5 hours at first (before we realized that's what was going on and knew to leave her alone). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-regression-or-something-else#post-2334996 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 06:28:55 +0000 MrsTal 2334996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I really have no idea what is going on with our son. G is almost 9 months and in the last week his sleep has been crap. Last Sunday (9 days ago) was the first night and he was up like 5 times over the course of the night. He had been a champion sleeper before that, unless he was getting a tooth but even then he would be up once and we could rock him a bit and put him back down. Since last week he's been up a ton at night and hard to put back down. It slowly got better over the week and then two nights ago was horrible again, I was up with him from 11:30-2. </p> <p>Last night took the cake tho. I was up cleaning bottles and such at the sink and I was there for maybe 10 minutes, you can't really hear anything while doing it and DH was in bed with the monitor so I figured he would hear anything. I got down washing the bottles and turned off the water and I could hear G screaming. I head upstairs and go in to check on him, pick him up give him his pacifier and rock in for a few minutes. He was instantly calm when I picked him up and he started to fall back to sleep when I rocked him. I decided to put him back down since he seemed okay but when I did he screamed in a way I can't even describe. I decided we were in for a long night so I left him for a minute to go grab my PJs and brush my teeth. I could hear him screaming the whole time and it was just awful. I came back in about 10 minutes and picked him up but he would just not calm down. DH came in at that point and tried to take him and he freaked out even more. He didn't calm down for an hour. We checked his diaper, checked his body to make sure he wasn't hurt in some way, took his temp, everything we could think of. We decided to try a bath had and when we left his room and only then he seemed to start to calm down. If we tried to go back in he would start to whimper and cry again. I really don't understand it but I need to figure this out. DH is on a 7 day work week this week and is working 5-5, I'm trying to let him sleep as much as possible and we just can't keep going like this. I am open to any and all suggestions. </p>
