Add me to the frustrated mom list for this week..

I have no idea what is going on with DS. He was waking at 3:30am and then for good between 6 & 7am. Now the past two nights he wakes up between 1 & 2am. Last night he was up for 2 hours. I let him CIO for an hour and he just screamed not even cry just screaming. Then I brought him to bed and he thought it was play time even though DH and I were ignoring him. I then put him back in his crib and he went to sleep 10 minutes later and slept until 8am. I have tried giving him motrin & tylenol and he still wakes. I do see bumps in his gums so I think it is teething related, but he is also irretable durning the day lately. He has such a short temper lately. The sleepless nights have been going on for 2.5 weeks. Now he did get his MMR shot on 4/16 but he started waking durning the again a few day prior to that.
Any advise? I am so drained not to mention DH has been working late for the past 2 weeks and he has to work tomorrow all day too.

Sorry or the vent

Could it be an ear infection?

Adrianna-Gianna has been doing this too, we were up last night from 1-2am too, she was just screaming crying top of her lungs and nothing would calm her except either me holding her or coming to bed with us.

I have no clue either, I am going to play it to teething, I know gianna has lots of bumps and white spots in her mouth. I think she getting her top 1 year molars and her second set of 2 top teeth at the same time.

You are not alone, for us this has been going on over the last month and and it was even worse the month before that.



Sorry no advice, but you are SOO not alone.

so sorry. I'd say it's the teeth but you said the motrin and tylenol aren't working? Are you giving the doses continuous so that it stays in his system b/c I know that's important. I guess we've been luck w/ Ellie that the motrin does the trick. if that's not working I'd go to the doctor to see. You can't have sleepless nights go on for that long that's not right. so sorry.
