It's ten thirty. Been trying to get my 11.5 mo old to sleep since 8:00. We've tried nursing, rocking, crying, back patting. He won't sleep. I'm at my wits end. No idea why he is like this tonight. Usually we nurse and rock before bed but he does okay and goes down. . Help??

Will he sleep with you? Do you have an exercise ball? Bouncing on one has saved us many times. Fever, teething? Maybe try Tylenol? ((Hugs)) good luck mama.

@jedeve: We have had this happen once or twice - honestly we just gave up and let him play for a half an hour, then restarting and it worked fine. Try not to panic! It has always been a one-off thing with teething, for us.
-
Is he crying or just not sleeping? The couple times we had this happen (ie, screaming and crying hysterically. We were fine with fussing it out but usually that was 15 minutes tops), we just brought her out with us, played for a bit and then did the whole routine again, minus a bath.

Sometimes when A won't nurse down I pop her in the cot and leave her for five minutes. We aren't a CIO family but some nights it's like she needs a good burst of crying to wind herself down.

I think it's close to a full noon.

@scg00387: that's what we ended up doing. I think he needed the reset.
@Kemma: we tried! It go to full on hysterics and I gave up.
