Well the last couple of days have been much better. I'm thinking he might have been having us on or maybe he teeth are playing up a bit. Still no sign of a toothie peg.

Thanks guys for your advice will definately keep it in mind.]]> Wed, 08 Nov 2006 11:16:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84840&title=tired-but-not-settling#84840 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84812&title=tired-but-not-settling#84812 Author: Nic01

I had a few problems with my son sleeping during the day - he would grizzle lots & then only sleep for maybe 20 minutes. I e-mailed Louise at the sleep store & she came back with some really good tips. He now goes down without crying & sleeps for about 1 & 1/2 hours at a time. You could try getting in touch with her. She has her own website but is also on Oh Baby under the ask the expert part.]]> Wed, 08 Nov 2006 09:15:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84812&title=tired-but-not-settling#84812 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84566&title=tired-but-not-settling#84566 Author: busymum

It is the age for separation anxiety unfortunately. When Briona was 6mos I would stay in her room, out of sight, and pat her tummy until she fell to sleep - to train her to go to sleep in her own bed. I mostly needed to do this because she had had reflux/colic for the first few months and had got used to being rocked to sleep all the time.

I read that at 6mos they are ready for a teddy bear or something familiar to go to sleep with, maybe you might want something that can go in his mouth lol

You don't seem to be having trouble at night times? What's the difference?]]> Tue, 07 Nov 2006 13:12:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84566&title=tired-but-not-settling#84566 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84504&title=tired-but-not-settling#84504 Author: Deez

Is he grumpy for no reason and needing constant entertaining if so he may be tired and over stimulated. He maybe postponing sleep if something more interesting occurs.

A dummy often helps settle an unncomfortable tummy because suckling often temporarily reduces baby's discomfort.

My cousins baby does that all the time and she gave in so now when she puts him to sleep she stays with him and you dont want to fall into that habbit.

he could be over tired, or not quite tired enough. ]]> Mon, 06 Nov 2006 21:40:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84458&title=tired-but-not-settling#84458 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84441&title=tired-but-not-settling#84441 Author: Kelpa

We have never really pushed the dummy as he wouldn't take one anyway (a bit like not taking the bottle). He will however play with one in his mouth when he is up during the day but more like something to chew on.]]> Mon, 06 Nov 2006 12:18:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84248&title=tired-but-not-settling#84248 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84245&title=tired-but-not-settling#84245 Author: EthansMummy

I know some parents don't agree with what I am about to say but does he have a dummy? Ethan use to be like that and we gave him a dummy and now he is much better. Just having that to suck on made him happier.]]> Mon, 06 Nov 2006 12:13:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84245&title=tired-but-not-settling#84245 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84242&title=tired-but-not-settling#84242 Author: LockieandLiam

Now I'm not sure if this is just something that is going to last a few days or if its going to continue but........

during the day when we have been putting the boy down to bed he just isnt settling and its taking us ages. He shows us the tired signs so off to bed he goes but he kicks up the biggest of fusses and we have to go in 3 or 4 times to settle him down and its often an hour later. Usually it's never a problem he may natter away for a few minutes and then drift off but he just seems to be full on crying.

Does anyone have any suggestions or if they have been in this situation before?? Could this be separation anxiety??]]> Mon, 06 Nov 2006 12:04:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4366&PID=84242&title=tired-but-not-settling#84242
