19 Month Old Is Waking up in the Night....

Hi H.,

Your baby may not be getting enough nutrition to start off.

There is a sleep system that has magnetic energy to help you relax. The blanket helps to adapt to your body temperature. If your body is to hot it will cool it if too cold it will reflect your own body heat back to your body.

This is far-infrared. It has been a blessing having these technologies in our home.

I find we sleep deeper and more rested when we get up in the morning.

It really makes a difference in how we sleep. My granddaughter has been sleeping on this pad since she was 2 days old.

If you would like more info let me know.

Have a great day.

I had the same trouble when I was super pregnant and my 21 month old was waking crying... I don't have an answer but I can say be patient I think kids work out the adjustment in their sleep. My baby is 4.5 months old and my older one is finally growing out of it. Its just such an adjustment for them. Good luck its quite an interesting first few months!

Hi H.,
It sounds like it has become a habit, which you will need to break. First, make sure she is getting enough day sleep and going to bed early at night, around 6pm. When she cries at night you can either let her cry it out or respond to her without talking to her or getting her out of bed. Letting her cry it out will take less time to break the habit, but many parents are unable (or unwilling) to do this. If you don't let her CIO, try the gradual extinction method. It means waiting 5-10 mins before responding, then don't talk to her or pick her up, just soothe her in her bed and leave. If she starts crying again, wait longer (10-15 mins) before responding again. Gradual extinction takes longer though. Whatever you decide, remember to be consistent. I recommend reading buying Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Dr. Marc Weissbluth for advice on ALL sleep issues. If you want any more info, email me.

The best way is to consistently employ a different ritual until she gets used to it. Like, when she wakes up, pick her up, and rock her back to sleep and put her back in her own bed. Also, make sure her tummy is really full before bed and then cut out the middle of the night food. She doesn't need to eat during the night and probably is because she loves it. Definately stop that, I would think, and just Love her back to sleep. I havn't experienced it, but this is what I would suggest... You are about to have a very full plate (as if you dont already). Best of Luck to you. Keep Loving it.
