I'm glad she finally fell asleep, but I have no advice on that kind of stuff. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510947 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 05:32:00 +0000 Smurfette 1510947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I think she is so tired from adjusting to the adjustment of the toddler room and one nap that she can't help but fall asleep. I tried keeping her up in the car and I failed :sad: windows up and down, singing to her, handing her a toy at red lights, I even would make Sophie squeak when she started to nod off but nothing worked.<br /> @photojane: Sorry!! I know she is working on her molars. Damn things are taking forever.<br /> @T.H.O.U.: I tried sitting next to her crib and patting her back but I moved away she freaked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510795 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 22:58:16 +0000 shopaholic 1510795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man… :( I think this happened when she was sick. And DH just let her watch TV with him in his lap until she fell asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510715 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 22:04:00 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1510715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This totally happened with DS2 this evening. I end up just giving up and putting him in the jumperoo until he complained more and then did everything again (burp, change, pat, swaddle, paci, music, etc etc). DH finally got him down by just rocking him to sleep. Why do babies always go against their own self interest!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510693 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:50:51 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1510693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I read the title my first thought was "Cry..." lol if my LO was older I probably would have handled it just the way you did, just keep trying different things &amp; hoping she sleeps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510660 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:32:45 +0000 silver1 1510660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad to hear she is finally asleep. When J is overtired we just let him cry out a little in crib and he falls asleep within a few minutes. Naps are a different story though.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510634 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:20:41 +0000 photojane 1510634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just letting you know that I can totally commiserate. We're having one of those nights over here too. Still working on canines &amp; she is acting a hot mess. I hope R stays asleep for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510619 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:16:07 +0000 shellio 1510619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww, hugs. I don't have any good answers for you but I hope she is really asleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510608 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:12:10 +0000 immabeetoo 1510608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: boo! Might be time to try and cut the cat nap if she's taking one good nap? If it's out of the norm, I have taken LO out to play and then restart 30 minutes later. But it's only happened once or twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510604 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:09:55 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1510604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck. Sometimes what works for us is me to just sit in her room but not pay her any attention (read on my phone or something). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510603 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:09:38 +0000 Pepper 1510603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This has been us recently. Basically, I just wait it out. I go in and rub his back and sing to him... When I leave he starts crying. I let him cry and fuss for a few minutes, then I go back in and do it again. Eventually he tires out and goes to sleep. It's rough!! I know my LO is younger, so that may not work for yours, but waiting it out is all I can do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510602 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:08:51 +0000 MrsF 1510602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad she's aleep.! It was making me sad for you both just reading about it :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510594 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:05:42 +0000 Smurfette 1510594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, I think she finally is asleep. ..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510593 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:05:24 +0000 .twist. 1510593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. No advice just big hugs. That is so hard. L is sick and having a heck of a time going to/staying asleep. It sucks big time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-lo-wont-go-to-sleep#post-1510587 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:03:18 +0000 Smurfette 1510587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put R to bed 3 hours ago and she isn't asleep. When I was rocking her she just seemed like she couldn't get comfy. I gave her Tylenol cause she is teething after an hour. I sat next to her in the crib and patted her back. I tried putting her in our bed but she kept wanting to get up. Finally let her walk around for a while. She is so tired she didn't even want to play. Just was standing around. DH got home, and she pooped, so we put her back in the crib. She keeps going from laying down and looking like she is asleep and then rolling around and crying.</p> <p>You can look at her and see she is tired. Rubbing her eyes, which is her sleepy cue. She is so over tired cause she is transitioning to one nap at day care but napped the best yet today. But did take a cat nap on the way home. But usually those don't mess with her sleep this much. </p> <p>I don't know what to do....... </p>
