Ask for the generic antipyrene benzocaine because it should be much cheaper than auralgan (generic vs name brand). I always wonder why more people don't prescribe them for symptomatic relief! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390593 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 12:19:42 +0000 chopsuey 390593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: hahah for some reason lo's boogers don't gross me out yet. I feel like I'm helping and saving her. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390558 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 11:24:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 390558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: omg that's disgusting. I would so not do that. lol. I'll put DH on booger duty cause that's nasty.</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: aww poor Olive!! that is so sad.</p> <p>If DS doesn't sleep, which isn't often although he has yet to be actually really sick, I let him watch TV lol!! he loves TV. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390546 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 11:16:13 +0000 Mrs. Bee 390546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: should I ask our ped to call in a prescription for them? Poor olive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390543 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 11:11:04 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 390543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I'm so sorry. I always tell parents that at birth all parents should be discharged with 2 things: topical ear numbing drops and soften. Between the two of those, you can avoid almost any er visit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390538 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 11:06:58 +0000 Mrs. Bee 390538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: yah I gave her Advil last night. She was perfectly happy when she was playing though. Must be a pretty bad one. She got 4 hours sleep finally from 3:30-7:30 and is napping now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390514 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 10:41:49 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 390514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Aw, poor Olive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390513 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 10:37:42 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 390513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she in pain? Did you get ear numbing drops (Auralgan or antipyrene benzocaine) for her? Have you been using tylenol or ibuprofen. It just sounds like she's really uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390504 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 10:27:19 +0000 Maysprout 390504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, hope she feels better. Those sickies are going around, my LO has been a bear about sleeping too with her stuffy nose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390503 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 10:24:11 +0000 mrbee 390503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's an ear infection, says the doctor!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390475 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 09:53:06 +0000 Rubies 390475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple of weeks ago we had a fluke wake up in the middle of the night (it was actually only 10:30pm) and she wouldn't go to sleep. At all. All night. The hubs and I just miserably gathered in the living room and let her do what she needed to do to tire herself out (cry...play...cry...play...etc). Finally, at 4:30am she passed out. It was a pretty bad weekend.</p> <p>I hope Olive gets better and you get some rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390473 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 09:52:48 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 390473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rock him in my arms like when he was a baby. Even though he's super heavy it calms him down, and then I lay down with him. He'll usually wedge his head on my chest and I can usually get him to fall asleep that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390406 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 08:55:16 +0000 prettylizy 390406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do I do? Contemplate putting a "baby for sale" sign on the lawn! lol!!</p> <p>Honestly though, lots of cuddles and nursing are the only things that will make her sleepy. Or a car ride, but I hate doing that because as soon as we get home she wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390382 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 08:09:54 +0000 doodlepoodle 390382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OH Mrs. Bee I hope you get LOTS of sleep. Perhaps a nap today? I also hope that Olive starts feeling better soon. Sick babies just make me so sad :( </p> <p>We were up every 2 hours last night, of course DH slept through it with no issues. Grrr. He's STILL sleeping. J and I are up watching the news and checking in on our HB ladies (and gents!) ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390381 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 08:06:34 +0000 winniebee 390381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like an awful night! I've resorted to the swing in the middle of the night when he was sick and wouldn't drink and wouldn't sleep - Tyler is still young enough where he will go in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390362 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 07:51:03 +0000 IcebergMom 390362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: oh I hope you got some sleep. I've spent some long nights with LO. When they are sick there is no secret weapon. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390322 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 06:54:04 +0000 chopsuey 390322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg M woke at 4am after 8 hours of sleep.

My LO woke up at 4am today and wouldn't go back to sleep. He wouldn't nurse either. Hope you get some sleep soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390265 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 02:24:28 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 390265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it's rough here lately too. I just try to keep a good state of mind, it's so easy to lose patience when I'm I'm really tired, but it's much more pleasant if I can just go with the flow. Speaking of which, I better get to sleep while I can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390264 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 02:24:15 +0000 Mrs. Bee 390264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: spoke too soon. she's wide awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390257 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 02:07:19 +0000 banana 390257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: yay! here's to a good nights sleep for both of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390255 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 01:59:50 +0000 Mrs. Bee 390255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally escaped! I hope she stays asleep. Man I'm pooped. good night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390247 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 01:34:26 +0000 Mrs. Bee 390247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always have white noise playing in her room. She is falling asleep nursing (finally!!!!). If only I can transfer her without her waking up!</p> <p>She has been torturing me tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390234 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 01:15:02 +0000 banana 390234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lately, I've been able to put my DD to sleep by rocking her in my laundry room while the dryer is running. she looooves that sound. she will instantaneously stop fussing and stare into space. it relaxed her much more than my white noise machine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390226 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 00:58:15 +0000 MrsRcCar 390226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried to putting her in a swing or using a white noise machine? My best friend swears by her white noise machine even to this day. When her son was sick it was the only thing got him back to sleep. (Her son is 5 years old now). So far with Baby Nolan we LOVE our white noise machine. Sometime about it is just really soothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-wont-sleep#post-390223 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 00:52:46 +0000 Mrs. Bee 390223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive has been sick the past couple of days. Last night she was up for hours because she pooped in her sleep twice. Tonight she pooped again and she's been up for over 5 hours. She doesn't want to nurse, she doesn't want to be rocked and just arches her back crying, she cries in the stroller. I even gave her another bath and started the bedtime routine again. I'm sooooo tired, I caught her cold, and she's overtired too.</p> <p>As soon as she's better, we're crying it out!</p> <p>What do you do when your LO just won't sleep? </p>
