Waking up at night

[Guest guest]

Okay, so Tiernan is now on his 23 hour days with his Hanger helmet. He

has slept in it for three nights now. The first night was GREAT. He

only woke up when he normally does (around 2:30 and 5 am). I was

thrilled. Now the last two nights, he is still only getting up twice,

but he's moved the times up (11:30 and 2:30). I feel so tired b/c I am

not getting my good stretch of sleep the first part of the night. Is

this common for babies? He doesn't seem to be having problems

sleeping, he's just shifting when he wakes up. Should I just let him

cry at 11:30? I know he's not hungry b/c he eats really well before

bed. Last night he had cereal at 6, I nursed him at 6:30 and he went

to bed. He should be able to go longer than five hours. Anyway,

advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

sounds like pretty normal behavior band or not. Hang in there.

sometimes they just need an extra hug, especially when going through

something new

Do you think that maybe he is not feeling well?

It's possible. Last night he got up screaming at 9:30, 12:30 and 4:30. I have no idea what is wrong with him. I've looked in his mouth to see if he's teething, but I don't see any swelling. He's not really showing any signs of being sick... it's really hard to say right now. He did SO well the first night, that I don't really think it has to do with the helmet, or maybe it just took him a night to decide he's not thrilled with it. Co-sleeping is not such a good idea for me b/c I wake up to every single noise he makes. I can't even use a monitor b/c if he coos it wakes me up, and that's on the lowest volume level. I guess I'll just have to give it a few nights and hope for the best. Our chiro says it takes seven days to fully adjust to a change. If he doesn't show any signs of being sick, I may just have to let him cry a bit. We'll see what happens. Candace, AZmommy

That sounds terrible Candace, I'm so sorry.  Last night was my son's first night in his helmet and he seemed to handle it well - of course he went to bed much later than normal so he was exhausted.  He has always been a poor sleeper and against my better judgement he often ends up in bed with me.  Once we are used to the helmet we have to move on to fixing the sleep situation.  I found the first day sooo upsetting and wanted to cry every-time I saw him in his helmet even though it hasn't seemed to bother him too much.  We were told to start wearing it 23 hours a day from day one so it;s a little overwhelming. good luck tonight!!, London (Hugh 5.5 months) On 15 Dec 2006, at 20:08, Candace Mayer wrote:It's possible.  Last night he got up screaming at 9:30, 12:30 and 4:30.  I have no idea what is wrong with him.  I've looked in his mouth to see if he's teething, but I don't see any swelling.  He's not really showing any signs of being sick... it's really hard to say right now.  He did SO well the first night, that I don't really think it has to do with the helmet, or maybe it just took him a night to decide he's not thrilled with it.  Co-sleeping is not such a good idea for me b/c I wake up to every single noise he makes.  I can't even use a monitor b/c if he coos it wakes me up, and that's on the lowest volume level.  I guess I'll just have to give it a few nights and hope for the best.  Our chiro says it takes seven days to fully adjust to a change.  If he doesn't show any signs of being sick, I may just have to let him cry a bit.  We'll see what happens. Candace, AZmommy to Tiernan, 7 mostort, plagioHanger helmet 12/05/06 Dumerlin <candicedumerlin > wrote:Do you think that maybe he is not feeling well?  Madi's sleep habits change when she gets sick. , NYmommyluvset <mommyluvset > wrote:Okay, so Tiernan is now on his 23 hour days with his Hanger helmet.

also, have you thought about the room temperture. madi could not sleep when she was dressed in the way that i would dress her if she did not wear a helmet. so now i have to remember to put her in one less layer. i am sure this phase will pass for you.Candace Mayer <mommyluvset@...> wrote: It's possible.

That could be it, too. I am so afraid that he's going to FREEZE if I don't put him in warm jammies. Right now he's sleeping in the footed flannel type sleepers. I usually have the thermostat set for 70. Maybe tonight I'll try putting him in a onsie and pants with no feet and see how he does. Usually when I go to change his diaper in the morning, his skin doesn't feel overly warm to me, so I thought he was okay. But, it's worth a try!! Thanks.

when simon was in his helmet we dressed him the same for bed as before long sleeve footless light cotton pjs and socks our apt never got below 73 since it was on the third floor. it might of just been a bad sleeping nite simon has those every so often alot of times its for a couple days then he one day he will go to sleep early sleep through the nite and sleep in and take some long naps during the day, it just happens randomly.

VERY warm. Our days are still in the 70s, but at night, it's getting pretty chilly, usually in the high 30s or low 40s. It's funny.... Christmas is less than two weeks away and we're still wearing short sleeves during the day. I just worry about him getting cold. I talked to our ortho about it yesterday and he said that at this point, Tiernan should be acclimated to the helmet, and I should be able to dress him the same as I usually would. I dressed him as normal last night and he only woke up one time. I don't know what has been going on with him the last few nights, but hopefully he worked it out.

It must be going around :>) My son spent most of last week sleeping in his bouncy seat (with a memory foam pillow to protect his round head :>) ). He's had a cold and has been very congested so sleeping upright seems to help.

wow...that is how i put madi to sleep now with the helmet, with the thermostat at about 70 also. before the helmet i would put her in a flannel footed sleeper and the sleeping bag thing. but anyway, we are in new york and it is cold here now. isn't still warm in arizona? try what you said and hopefully it will help.

Usually when I go to change his diaper in the morning, his skin doesn't feel overly warm to me, so I thought he was okay. But, it's worth a try!! Thanks.

Okay, so Tiernan is now on his 23 hour days with his Hanger helmet. He has slept in it for three nights now. The first night was GREAT. He only woke up when he normally does (around 2:30 and 5 am). I was thrilled. Now the last two nights, he is still only getting up twice, but he's moved the times up (11:30 and 2:30). I feel so tired b/c I am not getting my good stretch of sleep the first part of the night. Is this common for babies? He doesn't seem to be having problems sleeping, he's just shifting when he wakes up. Should I just let him cry at 11:30? I know he's not hungry b/c he eats really well before bed. Last night he had cereal at 6, I nursed him at 6:30 and he went to bed. He should be able to go longer than five hours. Anyway, advice would be appreciated.

I am glad that things have seem to work themselves out. Our little one's go through some changes at times. , NYCandace Mayer <mommyluvset@...> wrote: VERY warm. Our days are still in the 70s, but at night, it's getting pretty chilly, usually in the high 30s or low 40s. It's funny.... Christmas is less than two weeks away and we're still wearing short sleeves during the day. I just worry about him getting cold. I talked to our ortho about

it yesterday and he said that at this point, Tiernan should be acclimated to the helmet, and I should be able to dress him the same as I usually would. I dressed him as normal last night and he only woke up one time. I don't know what has been going on with him the last few nights, but hopefully he worked it out.

Dear

Are you writing from London UK?

It does seem that 23 hours would be quite overwhelming right off the bat!.

You are doing the best you can for him thought- don't forget...Have you

decorated the helmet? My son has been in his now for just over a week and

the decorating has made a huge difference here. I think his helmet is cute

and his older brother thiinks he looks cool. I was thinking about posting

the pic- just for fun...we will see. Do you have any creative decorating

juices??

Hi - you are coming to the right place to get some good maple leaf

stickers!! Hopefully you get some rest over the holiday..

Liam's sleep has been rough for about 3 weeks now (before the helmet) due to

a cold- which has been much harder to adjust to than the helmet...poor

little guy
