SLEEPLESS NIGHTS GOING ON FOR A YEAR NOW - (Not Related to Plagio)

[Guest guest]

Yikes! I'm not sure what to say! What does your ped say about the night

terrors? It seems there would be something that could be done about that! I

know I have read some articles about it, but I can't remember what advice was

given. I can imagine you must be very exhausted you poor thing! I hope

someone here has some good advice for you!

This is not related to plagiocephaly. My son Spencer turned 1 on

March 6, 2001. He's the easiest baby except for he gets up 5-6 times

every night. When he was born he had a severe case of Reflux and he

still suffers from stomach spasms. The first two months of his life

he didn't sleep more than 2 hours out of 24 hours. They put him on

Zantac and Donnatol. He no longer needs the Zantac but he takes

Donnatol 4 times a day still. He's also allergic to milk. After

they medicated him around 2 months old he began to sleep at least 2 -

3 hours at a time. He's now 1 and he still gets up repeatedly. I

know that he has night terrors. This has been confirmed by his

pediatrician. Does ANYONE have any advice on how to get him to sleep

through the night? Between getting no more than 3-4 hours sleep a

night and traveling every two weeks to Charlotte (I live in VA Beach)

I'm am exhausted. I don't think Spencer is exhausted though. I also

have a 6 year old son to take care of so ANY advice is helpful. I

have tried letting him cry it out but he gets completely histyrical.

Hi,

My daughter Tatijana went through the getting up many times at night well

past a year old. At about 13 months we took her out of the crib and just

layed the mattress on the floor. That still didn't work so at 14 months we

were able to get a toddler bed and a rail to put on one side of it and since

then we haven't had any problems. She still gets one time between 11 and 12

for something to drink but then goes right back to sleep until between 6 and

8 in the morning. We had tried letting her cry it out but she would cry for

hours and it wasn't just a whimpering cry it was hysterical crying. For a

while my husband and I were sleeping on the couch with her laying on our

chests to get her to sleep at all. But then once we got her a toddler bed

and she wasn't in the crib any more she was fine. I hope this helps some.

I know you must be exhausted. I was.
