 Topic: Waking up Sad
Posted: 16 July 2009 at 4:43pm |
Im just wondering if anyone elses baby/toddler has done this at Cadens age?
Caden, for the last month or so has been waking up really really sad and grumpy from his afternoon naps. It takes me a good 10 mins of cuddles and soft talking to get him to come right  He starts crying and has big fat tears and looks really unhappy!
But then he he will perk up after a while though.
He used to wake up a happy chappy, but not anymore. He is fina after a morning sleep, its just the afternoon ones he seems to do this.

I have no advice but off topic I just saw that you picked the name Isabella... gorgeous! Hazel was almost an Isabella.

Yup Daniel has. I figured that it was when he had woken up a teeny bit early. He still does this sometimes. When he does I put on his dvd of music and let him snuggle on the couch with a blankie until hes ready to get up and play and hes a happy chappy again

Hannah did it a couple of months back.
About a week or waking up crying and taking a while to settle down.
I'm sure he'll come right soon.
Maybe h's just having lovely dreams that he doesn't wanna wake from

Yep K is the same, sometimes after his morning nap but more often after his afternoon one. Usually when I try and get him dressed, I figure he just doesn't know what he wants, he wants to get up but he's still a little bit tired. I'm going to try cuddles on the couch tomorrow!

Jackson is also always at his grumpiest after his late afternoon nap. Cranky pants. Of course, that instantly changes as soon as Daddy comes up. Then it's all love, light and laughter. DH doesn't believe me what a horror he is!!
PS - Isabella is a lovely name Sheena. It's one I really like but can't convince DH. What made you change your mind though?

Always like this with the afternoon nap. Seems to be just the way he is - after a few minutes, he's off and playing

Liam is often like this too, although I'd say he's more grumpy than sad . It doesn't seem to matter if he's had a short or long sleep...
I have tried everything from reading quietly to him, offering water and food, cuddles etc but so far I have found nothing that works for him. He eventually comes right but it can take quite a while some days.
ETA: maybe they're waking in the middle of a sleep cycle & feel like cr.p??

Yea I think it may have something to do with sleep cycles
Kalyx does it occassionally, wakes up soo cranky & it takes me a good half hr or more to console him

Chloe does this a lot... I just let her chill out on the couch with some music and her dummy and "baby" for about 10 mins or so, then she seems to come right. I just figure she's not a "morning" person, like her mummy  and that it takes her a few mins to wake up properly.

Blair's another one..... I can always tell the moment he wakes from his afternoon sleep because of the crying. I just grab a blanket, and we often just sit on the couch and have snuggles. Sometimes 10 mins does the trick, unfortunately sometimes it's longer and he becomes very much a velcro baby
