"What would you do if i sang out of tune."

I have a child that is 1. For the most part she sleeps good through the night but she does have her nights. Thats why im up right now. Shes been up for about an hour now. Her dad is rocking her. Weve tried everything. We took her into our bed and laid her between us that didnt work. We tried standing with her. I was singing to her......"what would you do if i sang out of tune" (that was stuck in my head" we tried laying her back in her own bed but nothing seems to be working. There have been nights where she wouldnt go to sleep for 2 hours. I just dont know what to do.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Peace and Love

 

Maybe she's about to learn a new skill. Mine always seemed to sleep horribly for a couple of weeks before she did something amazing and new, like crawling, walking, learning to draw smiley faces, etc.

 

i have no suggestions since my child is almost 2 and he's never slept through the night.... i just have learned to deal with it and roll with the punches...

 

roll with the punches ... is about the best advice ...
when kids are that small they can't tell you what's wrong.
it could be almost anything.

it is how you cope with the situation that is most important.
providing as much comfort as possible for both your child and yourself.
controll... keep your control at all times ... don't be neverous or
over react .... stay cool. you child will pick up on this.

your baby maybe be uncomfortable, soiled diaper (easy check), hungry ...
she may have a gas bubble that is bothering her. very gentle pats on the back and then rubbing your hand up her back, gently, will often relieve any pressure caused by gas ...
her teeth are developing and my be bothering her. a little Ambasol on a q tip and a rub over the gums may help...

I have had two children and can remember those long nights.
Just remember it won't always be this way.
Take turns taking care of the baby. So one of you can rest while the other
attends to the baby. this way you can tag team the baby

Most important for yourselves is to stay calm and cool.
Singing is good for both you and your baby ... maybe she's not a Beatle's fan (yet).

I know 2 o'clock in the morning is no time to go for a ride in the car, but my kids always fell asleep in the car. And yes I had taken them for rides just to
get them to sleep. It's a little tricky though to keep them asleep moving them from the car to the house though ....

I know this might sound odd but try to make the best of it. she won't be this little ever again. and the things you learn now (i'm assuming this is your first child) will prepare you for your next child/children.

Good luck ... keep singing
Peace

 

Could she be teething? My children always seemed to have a rough time sleeping when they were.

 

Same here haha :cheers2:
He's nearly 3, next month in fact, and still joins us for 1am television sessions on the weekend. Wtf?! haha It's all love though.

 

we would hyper feed my daughter right before bed. that nipped it for a while. but now we're both suffering from dry sinuses or some junk and neighter of us are sleeping well.
