Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1122197 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:10:34 +0000 Freckles 1122197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: For us, it was just a phase. She hasn't woken up screaming/crying for about a week now. It definitely wasn't teething related, so i think it may have been separation anxiety or some developmental milestone. Poor you!</p> <p>I don't think my advice really helped @keiki_mama though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1122158 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 16:36:33 +0000 MamaCate 1122158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: @betsyboop: I was just looking for info on crazy screaming like a night terror in the middle of the night and found this post! My 22mo LO has been doing this the past few nights and we are all a wreck. Can you tell me more about how you handled this and if it is still happening? Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1107496 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 11:31:39 +0000 Freckles 1107496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: Good luck! There was one week where i had to push LO's bedtime to 8pm (she was waking up really late from her nap) and she went down much more easily. She's now back to a 7-7:30pm bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1107430 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 11:01:12 +0000 keiki_mama 1107430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Thanks mama, I'll give that a try :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1107295 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 10:19:08 +0000 Freckles 1107295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: 7pm may be too early? That's only 4.5 hours of awake time between nap and bedtime. How about if you pushed his bedtime back by 30-45 minutes to see if that would make a difference? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1107246 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 10:05:59 +0000 keiki_mama 1107246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: He wakes up around 2-2:30 from his nap. </p> <p>This kid didn't fall asleep until 10 PM last night! FML! I really hope this phase passes quickly.</p> <p>@SugarplumsMom: I feel your pain! It's been this way for us since Wednesday night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1107144 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:35:33 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1107144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was about to post a similar topic, but a 15 month regression. We're like the walking dead today! It's been this way since Friday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1107141 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:35:15 +0000 IcebergMom 1107141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely a phase! My 2 yo has gone through a few bad sleeping phases in the past year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1107085 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:23:38 +0000 Freckles 1107085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: What time does he wake up from his nap? On the weekends, when LO takes a 2.5 hour nap and wakes up at 2:30, she won't fall asleep until 7:30-7:45pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1106273 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:23:03 +0000 keiki_mama 1106273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH thinks LO needs a later bedtime but I don't like the idea of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1106249 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:03:21 +0000 Freckles 1106249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: Yes, like she's having a night terror, right?? Last night i had JUST started to fall asleep when she started crying. Thankfully, DH got up to soothe her. She's been doing this every few days for the past week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1106246 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:02:00 +0000 betsyboop 1106246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: It just started a few nights ago, happened 2 nights in a row, and then last night was the first night she didn't do it. I'm wondering if it will happen again though. My LO is only 16 months... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1106245 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:01:43 +0000 Freckles 1106245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This may help: <a href="http://www.babysleepsite.com/baby-sleep-patterns/why-18-month-sleep-regression-can-be-hardest/" rel="nofollow">http://www.babysleepsite.com/baby-sleep-patterns/why-18-month-sleep-regression-can-be-hardest/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1106244 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:01:10 +0000 betsyboop 1106244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Mine too! And it starts off as screaming like she had a bad dream, then turns into fake crying, and then if I ignore her, it's back to screaming! Next time she does it, I'm making DH go in to soothe her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1106242 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:00:22 +0000 keiki_mama 1106242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: It could be! He's been falling asleep on me for the past few nights. How long did it last for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1106239 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 16:59:52 +0000 Freckles 1106239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be separation anxiety. Mine is 17 months old and she's been waking up in the middle of the night screaming!</p> <p>Is your LO more attached to you or your SO? I wonder if it would work if the less attached parent put him down to sleep? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1106234 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 16:56:59 +0000 betsyboop 1106234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you think it could be separation anxiety? I think that's often the cause of sleep issues at that age...my LO isn't quite 18 months yet but was having a couple nights of interrupted sleep so I was doing some web searching and came across several sites that pointed to separation anxiety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-sleep-help-me#post-1106225 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 16:51:35 +0000 keiki_mama 1106225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 1 1/2 year old and for the past few nights he's been fighting bedtime. We've had the same routine since he was 2 months old and he's decided he doesn't like it anymore. I did notice three premolars coming in and I'm wondering if his teething is throwing off his sleep? Our bedtime routine starts at 7 PM and goes like this:</p> <p>-bath time<br /> -dry off, cuddle time<br /> -read a couple of books<br /> -brush his teeth<br /> -put on his sleep sack<br /> -crib</p> <p>He usually has NO PROBLEM going in his crib and will stay awake in his crib for a while chatting to himself. He sleeps through the night and gets between 10-11 hrs a night. Takes great naps that usually last 2 to 2 1/2 hours.</p> <p>I've tried giving him teething pills an hour before bedtime and turning off the TV an hour before (though it's never bothered him before). I tried putting him down for bed earlier thinking he needed more sleep and he started WWIII with me.</p> <p>He used to be such a good sleeper! Please tell me this is just a phase. Help! What do I do?!?! </p>
