Sleeping - Rexburg,ID

Sounds like she is having night terrors. My daughter is almost 3 and she has them. What works for us is that we go into her room and comfort her, make sure she has he blankie & maybe even her pooh bear, tuck her in and sit with her a little while to get he back to sleep. Sometimes I have to lay with her for a little bit...sometimes until she falls back to sleep. ON a few occasions I end up sleeping in her bed the rest of the night, but I try not to do that so she doesn't become dependant on sleeping with me.

I agree with the dream thing, but do you think that it is an ear infection or is that a possibility? I have a son and the only way that we would know that he had an ear infection was if he woke up screaming, never once pulled or tugged at his ear, no other signs or symptoms. Just an idea if you think that it is a possibilty have the doctor check it out.

You will probably have to end up doing an attended CIO. When she wakes in the night, wait..don't go to her right away, then when you do enter the room, just tell her that it is night time, time to lay down, she will probably continue to cry, stay with her until she goes back to sleep. Try not to pick her up, or take her out of her bed.
It is very tiring on you and your husband, but it will work after 3 or 4 days or a week or so.

We are going through the same thing, about 6 months ago I started putting our daughter to sleep with us when she would wake in the night. We are working on sleep training her to sleep all night in her own bed.

Good Luck.

You may want to try sleeping in her room on a rolleraway bed or if you have room in her room place a small hideaway bed or a day bed or something until she gets use to her new surroundings. Another thought is to play some soft music she likes while she is going to sleep and if you close her door leave it open with a small light if she is use to that in she old surroundings. Make everything the same as it was at the old house in the new house.

I have a 14 month old who has recently started doing the same thing. At first I tried picking her up and rocking her. That worked great until I tried to lay her down again. So then I started going in her room and instead of picking her up or even speaking to her I would just sit by her crib and either hold her hand or rub her back. At first she would cry even harder but after a minute she'll lay down adn go back to sleep. My sister told me it could be night terrors. I'm not sure what it is but this seems to calm it. Good Luck!

my son at 2 1/2 (all last summer) would wake up and come to bed with us from being afraid/waking up from dream. for him atleast he would go back to his own bed after being in ours for a few minutes.
my daughter, now 2 1/2..lol.. is waking up screaming from a dream.. almost nightly. lastnight she was screaming something like no no no... when my husband went up there she was still laying face down in her crib asleep :-\

I think it's a phase they go thru at this age.. with dreams.
i'm sure with the engergy around the house because of the move she could sense that.
what i would do for the time being,, is comfort her how ever you have to. even if it's she sleeps with you for a few mintues then put her back in her bed after she falls asleep.
the time will come where she will be past the phase and as you continue to put her back in her bed she will stay there more and more. she may not stay there at first and still need to come back to your bed to feel safe. especially with moving into a new house. but continue to TRY to put her in her bed.
but the adjustment to the new house could even take a few months... good luck

IS your daughter afraid of the dark? ON the other hand, she may be having night terrors. Have you consulted with your pediatrician to see if there are other ways to calm her down.
