Well after seeing the dr Josh has a middle ear issue (grommets were the first thing to come to my head). So we have something for that and hope like anything that teething is all over and done with asap.

I don't let Daniel sleep anytime after 3:30 unless I know he really needs it, I usually go in and gently wake him up otherwise he refuses to go to bed when I want him to lol. I also don't let him sleep for long periods during the day either.]]> Wed, 05 Dec 2007 08:57:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12745&PID=257553&title=not-sleeping-help-please#257553 <![CDATA[Not sleeping - help please : We are having the same thing with...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12745&PID=257408&title=not-sleeping-help-please#257408 Author: peanut butter

We are having the same thing with Tom. Today he slept from 9.30 till 12.30 (had to dream feed him in the middle as he was over 4 hours and I knew he needed the sleep) and then he refused to sleep for THE REST OF THE DAY!!!! Just got him to sleep in our bed now. I can make our room much darker than his at this time of night so I thought it worth a try.

I am beside myself as he is normally such a good sleeper. And yes, he is tired!!]]> Tue, 04 Dec 2007 20:18:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12745&PID=257408&title=not-sleeping-help-please#257408 <![CDATA[Not sleeping - help please : Thanks for that advice Kelly,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12745&PID=257391&title=not-sleeping-help-please#257391 Author: mummy_becks

Having such a late afternoon nap, is obviously interrupting his bed time, cos hes not tired till much later at night. He will be getting exhausted if he keeps this up tho,....with the much shorter night sleep ( thats what happened to Isla).
I read that she shouldnt sleep later than 3pm if you want bed time at 6.30pm (supernappy article I think!)

I had to make her have an earlier am nap again, by putting her down and letting her CIO.
Its easier for them to have regular nap times if your day routiues are the same, and you are usually home when its nap times. Even if he is a baby that able to sleep in the buggy or car, they still get a better sleep at home in bed where they know what to expect, dont have other distractions etc.
I found that having a set of things we do each time before her naps really helped,....I take Isla in her room,..say its time for you to have a nap etc, shut the curtains, then we sit and read a story, she has bottle, then bed. We were doing this at night, but I wasnt preparing her for bed in the same way for naps,...but when I did, it helped.

Gee sorry for writing a book,...hopes something helps!

Josh has gone from my boy that would sleep 10am-12pm and 2pm to 4pm and then 6pm-7am to sleeping 11am-12pm 3pm-5pm and then nearly 9pm-6am and then the odd occation waking up in the middle of the night.

The lack of day sleeps don't worry me its the constant crying we get from 6.30pm till 9pm when he finally gives inand goes to sleep.

I'm happy letting him CIO, but DH hates the sound of him crying for long periods of time (it gives him a headache - but who doesn't get them with a baby crying). I'm going to take him to our dr on Thursday (couldn't get an appointment for tomorrow) just to see if there is anything wrong with him. But in the meantime what else can I do. He is drugged up with bonjela and panadol for his teeth (top 2 are coming through) and this is driving me mad.

PLEASE ANY ADVICE!?!?!?!?!?
