Active 7.5 Mo Old Crying at Night

Hi,
Let me tell you coming from someone who knows. He's working you!
My son did the same thing. He just loves his momma and wants to monopolize her. On the other hand I didn't have the same problem with my daughter. She just doesn't need me as much, but as soon as daddy gets home, man is she on him.
My advise, enjoy it because it doesn't last. Then do all those Ferber method things to break him. I would just let my son fall asleep with me and then put him in the crib. Eventually he slept solidly through the night and would wake up in his toddler bed in the morning. I say "toddler bed" See how spoiled he was. Once he moved to a big boy bed (that was the condition) you have to go to bed in the big boy bed.
Good Luck!

Hi K., I have a baby the same age as yours and we have found that putting a radio on with classical or jazz music really helps him go to sleep on his own. We don't put the music on too loud but enough for him to have the back ground noise that babies in the womb are so very used too. those noise machines can also be helpful but I think that it is the voices that keep him sleeping. I hope it works.

It takes a while for babies to to change from co-sleeping to crib sleeping. Alot of doctors tell you to let them cry it out. I know it's hard but after a few nights he will get use to it and will fall asleep on his own much quicker. We had this problem with my daughter when she was around that age. She wouldn't sleep in her own bed she would cry forever. I know it can get a little frustrating. So we tried the letting her cry it out and after a few nights she got use to it. Here's an article from BabyCenter.com. http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/baby/babysleep/7755.html
If you cant pull it up with that link type in their seach engine The Ferber Method. It's a great article that gives you advice on how to set up a bed time routine, when you should and shouldn't go get them. Good Luck.

Hi, my name is H. and I have a very active 22 month old. I learned that as they become more active, moving, crawling, using all their new muscles they will have cranky nights. My dr also confirmed that. my son also became the same way while teething, they wouldn't bother him during the day but at night they would. i found that when i knew he was teething or noticed the bulging gums...i would give him the infant advil. it works 8 hours and not 4 like tynol (which i tried and quickly learned he was awaking up right when it was wearing off!) Or you can try the baby nighttime orgel (if he wakes up and that soothes the issue then you know) my son never slept with us but what really worked was routine. Owen knew what was next. bath, milk, teeth, reading, pray, and at that age I played baby einstein classic music. worked like a charm! does he have a bear? they say when your trying to get them to sleep in there own crib to do a few things, allow them to cry....which i did plenty of times...10-15 mins then go in...the key is not to talk to them (it's hard) check on them, then leave the room. Once you get them out of the crib and talk to them they'll want it everytime. Even in the middle of the night, owen would wake up at times fuss for about 10 mins sometimes longer but would go back to sleep...they as babies have to learn that on their own. It's not always good long turn to comfort them all the time but to let them know your their and in the room! Well, i'm not an expert...learned some things the hard way others through a great book called "what to expect when expecting" and "what to expect when the first year" hope i was helpful...good luck and enjoy that baby!!

Do you think it's teething pain? You might want to try some Tylenol. I doubt it's night terrors, I think it was around age 3 that our pediatrician said those might start, but definitely not that early. Otherwise, if he's burping, he may be having some reflux issues. Hopefully you can get it figured out!
