My son is six month old and is teething.  My problem is that he just does not sleep well at all any more.   During the day he is okay with is teething ring and only a little cranky.  However he sleeping very lightly.

At night he is more cranky because he is not getting the sleep he needs  during the day.  So once again he is getting very little deep sleep.  What can I do about this. Suggestions please

Baby Dental Care, Getting my teething baby to sleep.

Jun. 30th 2010

So my son has just started teething.  He is okay and seems to be so what soothed when I am holding him during the day when he is getting fussy over his teething.  My problem is that then he sleeps to much during the day and does not sleep at night were then his teething becomes an issue and he cries to the point that even my holding him does not help much.

Need some good teething advise.  Should I hold him less when he is teething during the day?  That way he will get less sleep and hopefully more at night.   Need some good teething advise for night time teething and sleep.

Newborn question, do you wake your baby to nurse.

Jan. 31st 2010

I will be having my son in a week or so.  My husband and I have been reading many books and took a few child classes.  Most of what I read and been told is that you need to nurse or feed your baby about every three hours.  Well okay but do you wake your baby up to feed or to you wait?  If you wait then it puts off the three hour mark.   Which is best to wait and feed your child when they wake up or to wake them up to feed?

My sixteen month old baby still sleeps with me.

Dec. 29th 2009

My daughter is going on seventeen months and still sleeps with me.  I have tried getting her into her own bed in her own room but she will have none of it.  It was easy to let her sleep with me when she was a new born since I did not want her to be upset and I am a signal mom.

Now however I feel she is old enough to try and start sleeping in her own bed but can not seem to make her.  How do I go about weening her from sleeping with me without it seeming like I am punishing her, and having her not want to sleep there even more?

Making baby sleep on their back

Dec. 20th 2009

My six and a half month old daughter is a tummy sleeper

I will put my daughter down on her back but once she falls asleep she rolls onto her tummy for the rest of the night.  I want her to stay sleeping on her back since I hear it is safer that way.  Is there anything that I can get or any tricks I can do to keep her on her back while she sleeps

Three months old son not sleeping

Dec. 9th 2009

Need help please:

My son does not sleep at night but for two or three hours if I am lucky.  He get small naps during the day, so my doctors said he is okay not not to worry. That is great for him to say but he is not the one staying up all hours of the night because his son does not sleep. I am getting run down and tired.  There are nights that I just cry because I am so tired because my son is waking me up at all hours of the night.  I am a signal mom with very little help if any.  So  any  advise would  be helpful.
