My 10 month wakes up for 2-3 hours at night Posted: 02-05-08 06:06am
Help!! My ten month old wakes up for 2-3
hours in the middle of the night 3-4 times
a week. He takes a nap around 9-10am for
30-45 minutes, then about 12-1pm he takes
another nap for 30-45 minutes. Sometimes
he'll take an evening nap around 5 or so.
If he takes the 5pm nap he is up at 4 or 5
in the morning, If I do not let him take
an evening nap he goes to sleep around 7,
then he's up around 1 or 2 am. Either way
when he wakes up he stays up for 2-3
hours.
Please feel free to give me
suggestions.
thanks

The things that will wake a baby during
the night are mostly hunger and teething.
Does he seem to be in pain or hungry?
Make sure he is getting enough to eat
during the day....what is his menu like
during the day? If it is teeth, a little
dose of Tylenol before bed will help with
his night time awakenings.
He could also just be in the habit of
waking up for no reason. In this case it
is important that you do not go in and
pick him up but let him get back to sleep
on his own.
Here is a link to a sleep schedule that
will give you a guideline for getting him
on track. Best of luck!
My daughter is doing the same thing. She
wakes up around 2 am every night and wants
to play. She isn't hungry. I don't know
about teething, but she doesn't seem to be
in any pain. She sits up and claps her
hands and want to crawl around exploring.
It takes me 1-2 hours to get her back to
sleep. So, I don't have a solution, but I
feel your tiredness!
