My little one is currently going through a phase (I hope) where when it comes close to bed time she will literally cry and just cry, sometimes it goes on for an hour even 2 on and off, it gets to the point where I dread bed time because I just can’t deal with it! I have the wonder weeks app and she is currently going through leap 2 could this be the cause of it ? She is so hard to settle! Eventually I do get her to settle and she will fight her sleep that bit longer and then crash. She has been sleeping trough the night as wellHer nap times are so short too! I’ve recently also changed her formula this week I thought it might’ve been her adjusting to it! But I’m not sure should I stick this formula out or give it up? Should I wait to see if it is just leap 2
Sounds over-tired to me. Have you been watching for sleepiness cues ? Sometimes growth spurts cause sleep patterns to change and they need extra sleep.
Also, this is totally normal. All babies go through some sort of sleep regression at one point. You are doing a good job. Remember to take a breather when you need to.
Make sure you follow a strict bedtime routine. Stick to it no matter what. We always did bath, book, bottle in rocking chair then I would rock her to sleep. This was our every night thing when she was little. We adjusted the routine as needed with her age but she’s now almost 3 and has always went to bed super easy ever since. A white noise machine and lavender room spray also helps.
My little one is going through this she’s 4 months old. She doesn’t take long naps at all. Very short. And stomach issues and no formula so far has helped…
Have you tried a night time routine of reading books in her bed and saying prayers? She would probally enjoy the quiet 1 on 1 time.
My son was like that, I put him in a toddler type of a stroller and pushed Him around the block once or twice, it seemed to help Him unwind and was asleep most times when We got back…
Sounds like being overtired. Try an earlier bedtime with a half hour of quiet time before tucking in. Just lay with your little one during that time and if that works then it’s just being overtired
Ask your doctor if melatonin could help
Could be acid reflex from the formula laying down makes it way worse
Bath time before bed with lavender baby wash
My son does this about a week every so often
I probably won’t get an answer but is your child a cancer ? born late June early July , these kids are Hit the floor running from the time they wake up they never stop they’re very productive and they just won’t let you have no rest because they’re always on the move.
Do you pick her up and hold her when she is crying
Maybe try organic because the other formulas are usually toxic and they don’t offer probiotics which help with mood and emotional regulation
7-10 days trying , if nothing then go back to leap 2
My question is how old is your little one? And have you been watching for her sleep queues and her wake windows. It sounds like she is over tired. Have a strict nap and sleep schedule with them being around the same time within 15 mins and stay with it. Give the little one queues when it’s almost bedtime and do quiet time with reading books and lullaby music.
I thought this was the dog group I’m in and was like “just crate her???” Then realized
Ummmm this is a BABY! If she is still on formula it’s normal for them to not want to sleep alone and for them to wake multiple times during the night. I wouldn’t put too much stock into what an app tells you. Do you pick her up and soothe her when she is crying or do you just let her scream for the 2 hours until she realizes you’re not coming and just gives up?
Your baby is 7-10 weeks old. This is normal behavior.
