I have no idea how to help these children sleep.
My little boy (4 months) has been sleeping through the night like a charm the last few nights. So, life should be grand right? No!! My three year old is waking up 2 or 3 times a night!! I am so frustrated with her! I thought maybe it was because we were putting her to bed too late (7:45 pm) But last night I put them to bed at 6:30 pm and she still got up twice. She comes into our room wailing. Luckily the other 2 sleep through it. I have no idea what to do to help her stay in her bed.
Grant is also crying to go to sleep at night. I don't know what to do about that either. He used to go right to sleep after we sang to him and put him in his crib.
Help?!

I wish i could help. we've had our sleep issues too. could be having bad dreams...? Good luck.
ReplyDeleteIt might have been bad dreams, or my mom suggested maybe she is having blood sugar level problems and is truly hungry in the night. I tried giving her protein just before bed and it helped- that night she woke up at 3 am and only got up once (I also gave her a half a piece of whole wheat bread at that time). Last night she slept until 6 am! Yeah! Let't hope she keeps that up!
ReplyDeleteThere's an article in this month's Parents magazine about getting kids to sleep- I also leave some snacks where the kids can get them in the middle of the night- if they're really hungry- bananas, granola bars, bread- simple things. But they know I'm not getting out of bed!
ReplyDeleteOH sleep issues. Good luck. My kids still wake up. But I kept my boys in bed til they were 4, so there you go.
