Question: Baby sleep problem... Mother tearing her hair out!!! Please help!?!?When I brought My baby home from the hospital she got into a routine very quickly, waking up at 12.00, 3.00 & 6.00 exactly, every night. When she has a growth spurt she woke every two hours & the same after she had her injections.Now i'm tearing my hair out because I'll put her to bed at 8.30, if i'm lucky she'll sleep untill 12.00 then be up every 1 1/2 - 2 hours, other times she'll be awake at 10.00 then I'll be up & down all night. I know she is not having a growth spurt & it's been a while since her injections. I've tried many things but to no such luck -1) Giving her a large bottle of formula instead of breast feeding.2) Getting her to bed later than usual3) Lavender drops on her pillow4) Lavender drops in her bath5) Massage before bedtime with lavender oil.At 16 weeks I'm not expecting her to sleep through the night, I just want at least 3-4 hours straight sleep a night!!!Does anyone have any good suggestions?
Answer: I can't believe no one has mentioned this. Maybe she is teething. My little girl is 9 months old and I know when she is getting a tooth because we are up for about two weeks. It's rough, but just think of all the pain they are in. Look at her gums...are they red and swollen?If it is teething use infant tylenol, hylands teething tablets, and oragel. Try also putting a wet washcloth in the refriderator for about 5 minutes and letting her chew on it. It will feel good on her gums.I hope you figure it out. I know that I go crazy after awhile from lack of sleep.
