Screaming/Sleeping/Sitting Up :(
We have 3 children. The elder 2 are 3 & 4 and both sleep a good 12hrs
a night on average. They are almost always in bed before 8pm and have very few sleep issues. If they are sick - they will probably sleep earlier and even at times will ask to go to bed earlier if they've had a long tiring day. I have read every book from Sears to Ferber in the past few years with my kids and up until now was the one always giving advice on how to help my friend's children sleep better, how to get a new baby to latch etc..etc.. My youngest just hasn't been the same with sleep. We recently moved him into his crib and he falls asleep sitting up some nights. He bobs around while he is sitting up and cries in his sleep. If I pick him up he becomes even more hysterical. The 1st time I went in there - I was shocked to see him asleep and so loud at the same time. He eventually falls over and goes into a much more quite sleep but this can take 2 hrs sometimes. He starts off very fussy and loud and then quickly sits down, falls asleep and still can get fussy and loud (but not as fussy and loud as when he was awake). I padded the crib so if he falls against the side he won't hurt his head. I've tried wrapping a blanket around him to cushion his fall too. He's too cranky for me to lay down. Every time I've tried that it's just resulted in him waking up and screaming more loudly. He does not do this all the time. The other night he slept fine - got up for one feeding - and settled right back into bed. Any ideas on what I can do? -Donna & Mike |
