Re: Help! Night time crying

[Guest guest]

Maybe she's having nightmares? Is she verbal at all, or able to

communicate things like that? Could also be due to the holiday

has) she could be feeling the stress of people around her or

something. Hopefully it will get back to normal in January.

you may want to consider melatonin instead of meds, my dd has a

great nights sleep with just a 1/4 piece of a tablet
