16 Month Old Won't Sleep Now?
posted 9th Oct
For the past week our perfect little sleeper (7pm-7am with a 1pm-3pm nap everyday like clockwork) has stopped sleeping so perfectly! I know she IS getting a molar however it's begining to look like she just doesn't wanna sleep! She will be just fine and dandy when you get her up but as soon as she gets in the crib it's screaming like I've never heard (mad?).
She's been staying up til about 8pm with NO nap and then waking around 11pm or so (sometimes for hours and when she's up shes running and playing and whooping it up) and then will wake 1 or 2 more times and go back to sleep.
Is this teething molars? Has her schedule changed (please God no)? Is she manipulating me? Can you tell I am overwhelmed? Agh.

Teething definately changed alot of thiings in our home, So it wouldnt surprise me that is the case. Try letting her stay up until you go to bed, and waking her up when you wake up, Tylenol and something for her to gum on. Anything is worth a try at this point right ;) GoodLuck!!

I agree but part of me doesn't want to create a habit if it's not teeth, nor do I want to dose her for no reason...I wish she could just tell me what was wrong!

Aww Lol thats true, Has she been to the dentist yet? And I know what you mean about habits, My son used to go to bed and be on a routine, Now he thinks he is missing out if we are still up. But once he could crawl he was crawling right outta the crib. Lol Sometimes they just get a personality all their own and decide they dont wanna do what mommy and daddy want them to do. She may just be becoming her own lil person with an opinion
