Little Girl with Sleep Problems.

My little girl Alannah will be one on Sunday. Just recently she has been waking up 2-3 times a night screaming, which scares me half to death. I'll get up and run to her room and will have to sit with her until she goes back to sleep! She doesn't have a problem going to sleep at her usuall bedtime. I never had this problem with my oldest child who is 2 1/2 years old. Is there anything I can do to make her sleep or feel more comfortable during the night?

How Do You Change a Bedtime Routine?

I give my 9 month old son a bottle every night and rock him to sleep in my arms. I don't put him in his crib until he is sleeping. I'm trying to change his routine since he has been holding his bottle for 3 months now. The last 3 nights I've been putting him in his crib with a bottle, he drinks it and cries hysterically! Any suggestions on how to change a bedtime routine?

Night Terrors and Irrational Fears

Hi Mama's, you all have been a great help in the past and I am again seeking your advice. My Son just turned three and has always been a great sleeper (NEVER up more than once a night unless he is sick). Recently he has been getting terrified of things in his room at night time. Shaddows freak him out and we had to remove some toys that frightened him in the dark. Also he has been experiencing night terrors (I think). He will "wake up" screaming and crying hysterically unable to answer questions or calm down. He does not seem to be awake...

To Nap or Not to Nap

My son is 2 1/2 and refuses to take a nap. Is he old enough to stop nap times? I struggle with that because if I let him skip his nap, he is Mr. Monster Man by about 6pm. I try to just do a quiet time in his room, but he keeps coming out... should I just drop it?? Thanks ladies!! :)

Humidifier in Nursery

Hi moms My 3 month old has a mild cold with a little congestion. I've heard it's good to have a cool-mist humidifier running in the nursery during the winter months, when it's dry, and have also heard one should only run it when the baby is sick, otherwise there could be a mold issue. I didn't grow up in this climate, so have no past experience to draw on. Should I run a humidifier continuously in his nursery? (We have steam heat in our condo.) Should I just run it while he's sick, or at night? Any other thoughts or experiences...

Thumb Sucking in an Infant.

How do I stop my 3 month old from sucking her thumb. I am not against self soothing, just would rather her use a pacifier instead. The reason being my older child used her pacifier and when it was time to give it up we took it away. You can't take the thumb away. I am hoping there is something we can do, as I looked back on her ultrasound picture she was sucking her thumb then too. I also don't want the almost 3 yr old to pick up the thumb sucking.

2 Year Old Refuses to Go to Bed

My 2 year old daughter all of a sudden refuses to go to bed. Unless, of course, we lay with her. This is not a habit that I really want to start. Every night its the same thing. She screams and throws down for hours. I also have a 6 year old who shares the room, and needs to sleep for school. Which often leaves us giving into our 2 year old and allowing her to lay where ever she wants to. Rather it be in the living room with us, or in our bed. She never used to do this. It was about a month ago when she started, although it feels like its...

Sleep Advice for Premature Infant

My premature infant (18 weeks old, 8 weeks past due date) will only sleep in my husband and my arms or in the bed next to us. We try to put him down for naps, but he wakes up. The longest he will stay asleep is 30 minutes, although usually he wakes up right away. We have tried swaddling (he hates that) and the infant car seat. He goes for 3-4 hours at night, but again, only if he is in the bed next to us. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Soothing a Cough

My daughters have had several colds this winter, but their latest one is lingering in the form of a nasty cough. My elder daughter is almost 3 and she will cough so hard that she gags. This is making her very cranky during the day and wakes her up three or four times a night. I am just wondering if anyone has suggestions for soothing her cough.

Could It Be Night Terrors

A little back ground... My one and a half year old daughter has what I thought to be night terrors.. It started at about two and a half to 3 months old, right around the time she started sleeping through the night which would have been great had her 15 month old brother not had them too.. He, however, would belt out this shriek of a cry and cry for anywhere from 5-15 minutes and then silence.. But the doctor told me they were night terrors and would go away.. they did.... Oct 2007.. anyway... my daughter is completely different.. She just...
