    Waking at night

    Alex has always been a good sleeper but the last couple of weeks he's been waking at night sometimes i can get him straight back to sleep but other times it takes a good couple of hours. The worst thing is i just get him back to sleep then 2hrs later Eleanor wakes and that's my day started.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to get him to sleep all night again ?

    He does still have his 2yr molars to come through but i can't feel anything.

    Milo is doing this at the moment. He's just been to the doctors this morning to confirm theres no ear infection (as this is the number 1 reason he wakes at night) and he got the all clear. He has 1 2yo molar coming through at the moment, I cant see his top jaw though, he won't let me, so I don't know if there are more coming thru at the top.

    OMG... there must be something in the air...

    Alexa is waking at night now too & is hard to settle...

    She will also scream the house down when she gets put to bed.. but will lie there quietly with her dummy, blankie & a firm grip on my finger... but if i try & leave the room she starts screaming again... we have tried leaving the music on & lamp on aswell but to no avail....
    If she dows go to sleep with a wee grizzle she will wake an hour or so later & the screaming starts...

    She has also been checked for an ear infection but all is ok...

    HELPPPP please... any ideas...

    I'm glad i am not the only one having problems. Last night Alex slept all night, we have put a heater in his room just to see if he's too cold at night as he is always kicking his blankets off.

    Congrats on a great nights sleep Michelle. I was going to suggest that - we think that's the reason Jack's been waking in the night recently too. I might add that he slept through last night but Tom is teething and unwell with a bit of a virus and woke 7 times! Oh the joys!!

    I hope you find the heater is the answer for you!

    Milo is in a grobag, so I don't think thats his problem.
    I hope the heater works for you!

    night before last was fine after a wake up at about 9:30 but he went right back to sleep.
    This morning however we were up half hourly from 4am.

    Alexa slept through last night... but we had an argument to get her to sleep though LOL...

    Alexa manages to get out of her grobag.. she is a wwee houdini... so I have to wrap her up in a heap of clothes & then put blankets on once she is asleep... we also have a small oil heater in her room...

    Hope these wee tikes keep up the night sleeping.....

    Alex woke again last night, it didn't take DH long to get him back to sleep. I had Eleanor awake at the same time and it's hard trying to get two back to sleep. Lucky Kimberley didn't wake also.
