Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Nola, I'm sorry you're having a tough time with LDN right now. Have you considered a phone consultation with Dr. Bihari? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Ruthie slept throught the night from the day she got home from the hospital until her heart surgery...like from 10pm until 8am every single day, plus some naps in there. I don't know if it had anything to do with her having DS or not, but she sure was a good sleeper. After surgery was a nightmare, she was up anywhere from 6 to 10 times or more every night. Then I had to do one of our cleaning jobs for a while and I was only getting 6 hours a night myself...and that was interrupted all those times. I truly didn't know what tired was until those months. She finally is a better sleeper again. If she naps, it's for a couple of hours (she's 28 months and only naps a few times a week) then she goes to bed about 10 and gets up around 8. If she doesn't nap, she'll fall asleep between 7 and 8 and get up at 8am. Sue > My little angel is about 3 months old now and she still sleeps after > each feeding and also for 6 hours at night.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 It is common for Ds kids to sleep allot when they are first born. Their muscle tone is so low that it takes allot of energy to feed and they get tired very easy. My Phoebe was so floppy that I could not even arouse her to eat. She had to have a gtube to give her proper nutrition. I remember thinking that she would just be this blob of a child for the rest of her life. I was so wrong. She is one happening babe now. She is rockin and rolling and making her way in this world.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Have you had thyroid testing done? I heard sleeping a lot was a possible sign of problems. Not sure, I have a good sleeper and she has no thyroid problems. My Sammy will be 2 next week. When she was very little she slept great, from 10 pm to 5 am by 3 weeks. As she got older and more active she had a harder time sleeping through the night. We also had some issues with nasal allergies and reflux. When things are well, she sleeps from as early as 7:30 pm to as late as 8 am the next day. Usually she sleeps 8 pm - 7 am. She still takes 1 nap a day from an hour to 2 hours. She was taking 2 naps a day until about 15 months...then she settled into the once daily naps. On the days when she plays through her nap she goes down and stays down all night. ~ Sleeping a lot My little angel is about 3 months old now and she still sleeps after each feeding and also for 6 hours at night.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Karin - My grand daughter is almost 4 months old (non-DS) and she shares a sleep pattern with . My daughter gets nothing done on most days. Hayley also continues to get up during the night. She sleeps much better when she sleeps with grandma My son with DS slept alot when he was a baby - it was hard to wake him up at times. Now he sleeps very little and has to take a sleeping pill at night. RE: Sleeping a lot > is 3 months old also, and I WISH he would sleep that much! He > consistently sleeps 6-8 hours at night, so I guess I can't complain, but > he pretty much doesn't sleep during the day (10 minutes here & there).
