For about a week now, my 9-month-old daughter has been waking up numerous times at night and by numerous I mean dozens of times a night. For the last 3 nights it's been every 15-30 minutes for 8 hours straight. She is fine all day and naps normally. What could this possibly be? I'm beyond exhausted and I don't understand how she isn't! I haven't taken her the doctor but I'm going to make an appointment tomorrow. I just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this. She doesn't have any teeth yet so if considered that it may be teething but giving her Tylenol or Motrin (Publix brand) hasn't really helped.
Have you tried Teething Tablets? They dissolve in their mouth. Or, do you think she could be to hot or cold?
I had the same problem with all of my children and it was always teething and only at night it would last for about two weeks then spontaniously stop...My one year old now it happened only when his back teeht were coming in and his sleeping pattern would also be sporadic when dad comes home from business trips its like if he sleeps when dad is home he will miss something. it's good you are going to the doctor but I beleieve it will soon pass
My son is usually up 2-3 times a night normally. The one night he was up every 1/2-1 hour I knew something was wrong. I took him to the doctor the next day and he had a double ear infection. Good thing to take him to the doctor. Could be just fluid in his ears and is bothering/waking him, or it could be an infection. I also think it could be teeth like others have said or just his age - he's more aware now so when he wakes up, he wants something to play with, cuddle with, etc.
First thing that came to mind was teething. Could be she is just really having a hard time.. Does she have loose stools? That will be another indication..
I think it is good you are taking her to the doctor. He can look at her ears too.
Do you try CIO? Is it a painful cry or like a scared cry? Just try to keep a lot of frozen teethers handy. Remember those little teeth coming in feel like needles in their gums. It can make their ears hurt too. Maybe some Hylands teething tablets would help.
Bless you heart, I am sending you all some long periods of sleep.
Could be teething, could be a growth spurt. Could be both!
My son would do this for about 2 weeks before something new started for him. Once we "mastered it" or the teeth poked through, he was back to his normal sleep habits.
Hang in there, it will pass soon!
I have a 10 month old who was kind of doing the same thing. I think I've figured out it is related to teething so I started giving her some of the Hyland's Teething tablets at bedtime and I don't know if it is a coincidence or it really helps, but she seems to do a lot better during the night. The teething tablets are homeopathic and they worked wonders for my older daughter too. Good luck!
I think you should consider that it could be food allergies upsetting her stomach. Good luck
She could be going thru a growth spurt. Try feeding her and see if this is the answer.
could be a growth spurt, there is one at 9 months. And it could be teething.
Try feeding her at night if you aren't already.
