2 Year Won't Sleep

Hello ~ My question is my 2 year old was the perfect sleeper always went to bed at the same time (7:30) & took his nap without problems. Now that he has turned two he is like wild child. Getting him to take a nap is like a 3 hour process and at bedtime we are lucky if he goes to sleep before 10 PM. I know he is tired and needs his sleep. This is very apparent when he does not take a nap at all. Any ideas on helping me make this process a little bit easier? He is sleeping in his own bed and suddenly realizes he can get out. I feel...

Camping with 13 Month Old

Hi, My husband really wants to take our 13 month old camping this spring and summer. I wanted to see if anyone has any experiences, good or bad, they'd be willing to share. What did you do for sleeping arrangements? We are going to start with a park close to home, in case things get out of hand. Thanks!

Nap- Should I Worry?

At 11 months my daughter decided she was done with naps- completely! She doesn't even go down for 20 minutes. Sometimes (rare) she will nap in the car, but thats it. She sleeps 11 hours at night and not at all during the day. Should I be concerned about this? She is now 13 months and as a first time Mom, I thought I'd get advice from you ladies. Thanks!

What to Do About Cough in 15 Month Old???

Hi Mommas! I need some suggestions on things to do for my baby girls cough. Yes I am one of those mommy's who does not medicate unless she REALLY needs it, but she is not getting much sleep and just coughs all night and at nap. So this is what I've tried so far. Elevated her mattress, run a humidifier, and rubbed her chest with baby vicks and she is still in there coughing. Anything else would be so helpful to help her sleep better and Mommy too. Also want to add that she does not have any fever, just a little runny nose during...

Daughter Has Changed Her Sleep Schedule!

Hi everyone: my daughter used to have a pretty set schedule when it came to sleep. She would go down about 8:30pm, wake up at 9:30am (yes, I have been told I am lucky), go down for a nap about 11 and sleep til about 1:30 or 2pm. Then another nap about 3 for a couple hours. That's about it. She was awake a lot. Then she got sick, with croupy cough, and changed her schedule! She now gets REALLY grumpy about 7:30pm, wakes up about 7:45am, occasionally waking up around midnight or wanting to go to sleep about 5pm, then goes down for a nap...

PLEASE Help!! 14 Month Baby and I Need to Sleep Through the Night!!

Hola dear parents! this is my first time writing on here. I need help especially from those of you who went through something similar. At this moment I'm in the bathroom and doing everything in my power not to cry. My baby is 14 months and I've been breast-feeding on demand (day and night, as you can imagine- against most people's opinion). I have no problem waking up every hour and a half but now everyone is telling me that it is really unhealthy for my baby to be waking up THIS much (usually he sleep from 8-11 (maybe 12) and then...

Sleep Problems at 4.5 Months?!?!

Hi! I'm L.. I have a 4.5 month old baby boy who doesn't like to sleep. I've been told by our pedi he is a night crier. He doesn't like to take naps during the day, and if he does lay down it's for maybe 30 min. at most. Bedtime usually comes between 9:00 and 11:00 p.m., and he normally wakes again during the night between 4-6 a.m. From month 1 to month 2, he was an incredible sleeper sleeping 9 + hours straight through. Now, I'm lucky to get that at all. Is it normal for 4.5 month old babies to have such an unhealthy sleep pattern? ...
