Looking for Suggestions - Junction City,KS

Hi R.,
I have a few suggestions so here it goes:

1) It may be that she needs her food intake upped over the course of the day. So if she is on cereal you might start vegetables, if she is on fruit/vegetables and cereal you may up the amount, maybe go from 1st foods to second foods.
2) It may be that she is waking up in the middle of the night for the simple fact of being rocked in the middle of the night. One way to stop this is stop rocking 5 minutes sooner every night until you are not at all.
3) Teeth can be so tricky and cause all kinds of sleep issues and issues on their own, so i would continue giving the teething tablets and orajel.

4) It may be a combination of all of these and you just need to do all of them.

i'm no expert, but it might be that she is ready for some cereal or more substantial food in her tummy...is she getting hungry after just a couple hours and waking up? i started putting cereal in my son's bottles last thing at night before bed, and it helped him sleep through the night. maybe that will help...

My guess is that she just wants to be with her mom. I think that was about the time that my now-ten month old had to cry it out. It's hard to do, but they need to know how to get themselves back to sleep, and it's easier now than when they're two and won't sleep in their own beds. (If you don't believe me, check out all the requests of moms who are having to deal with that heart-breaking problem!)
Feed her alot before bed and give her the motrin so that you know she has everything she "needs." Then ask your husband to remind you that it won't hurt her to cry. (He's got to help you remember that in the middle of the night because otherwise it will be nearly impossible not to go get her out of the crib! Also, make sure you look at the clock, because ten minutes can feel like forever! My son cried almost 45 minutes the first night, but only fifteen the second, and hardly at all the third. Now we don't hear a peep out of him, or if we do it barely lasts long enough to wake us up.)
You are a better mom when you have slept, and all of your children need that from you!

First, I will tell you I second all the advice already given. Next, I will tell you I am a 36 yr old mom of a 3 & 4 yr old with a deployed husband and no support network...sometimes you have to just save your sanity. There is a liquid version of Tylenol PM out there...ask your pharmicist the correct dosage (my guess would be 1/2 tsp). The Tylenol will help with the teeth and the PM will help with the sleep. I wouldn't do it on a regular basis but every mom needs a break and at least a good night sleep every now and then.
