As far as I can tell, it's not teething (she has all of her teeth through 1-year molars), not sickness, and she has otherwise been night-weaned and sttn for 3-4 months consistently now. She is basically just up for 1-2 hours in the middle of the night, crying on and off unless we pick her up, in which case she falls right back asleep. Kids these days.... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-16-month-sleep-regression#post-844709 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 11:39:47 +0000 irene 844709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks... hope you guys are right.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-16-month-sleep-regression#post-844175 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 08:30:08 +0000 edelweiss 844175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't have experience with this (LO is 4.5 months), but as zippylef mentioned it could be a developmental leap. if he's not crying, just making a noise and not unhappy, he's probably okay. i know it's rough to hear him cry out like that because it's not clear what's going on and he should be sleeping! sounds like he's okay, though, especially if he's still giving you a smile :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-16-month-sleep-regression#post-844162 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 08:20:39 +0000 loveisstrange 844162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From what I read, 1 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon is totally average for that age. My DD is 14 months and that's what she does already.</p> <p>She does this sometimes. She doesn't really cry or get upset, she just plays and talks until she falls asleep again. I usually just leave her and dont check. If something was up, she'd let me know. I don't want to check because I don't want her to think that it's play time.</p> <p>There is a developmental leap at 16 months as they become more adept at fine motor skills, so maybe that's what's going on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-16-month-sleep-regression#post-844085 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:51:02 +0000 irene 844085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess no one experienced this ? :T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-16-month-sleep-regression#post-844032 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:24:28 +0000 irene 844032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone experienced this?? Advice needed....</p> <p>LO is 16 months. He's been quite a sleeping champ and he had been STTN since 7+ months (even before that , he'd only wake 1-2 times to breastfeed at night).</p> <p>However, recently, it almost feel like every other night he'd start waking up once or twice at night. He doesn't usually cry. He'd usually remain quiet and he'd make a loud "ahhhhhh!!" after 10-15 minutes of quiet. Fearing that he could be sick / fever / poopy diaper....etc., I'd check on him after 20 minutes. But when I go over, he'd usually just lay there, and look up at me quietly. After I make sure he doesn't have a poopy diaper or has a fever , I'd go and he would be fine. But again, he'd scream in about 10-15 minutes. This sleepless period lasts about 1-2 hours.</p> <p>I usually don't change him unless he has a poopy diaper as I am afraid it may wake him more (he is the type that doesn't even mind sleeping in his own poopy diaper). There was 1 night it just lasted for way too long so I changed him anyway. Still doesn't help. He still won't go back to sleep. In these cases I just had to close my door and turn off the baby monitor so at least I can go to sleep because he seem fine.</p> <p>I suspected it could be ear infection (he does have a history of this and he has a cold now), but I'd think he'd be crying more painfully instead of just looking up quietly at me (sometimes smiling). He also doesn't have a fever. I am hoping it is teething because one of his molars already cut through, and he has a whole mouth of teeth. </p> <p>I can't help but think maybe he's napping too much, but I don't think so? He naps mostly 2-3 hours in 1 single nap a day. Then we put him to bed at around 7pm.</p> <p>Have any of you experienced this before? What could it be? I kinda don't want to take him to the doctor because I am afraid they'll tell me it is ear infection and give us more antibiotics.... but he is really fine. </p>
