My kids seem to be sleeping later and later...and I can't get them to sleep early anymore. We used to an evening routine...until baby #3 arrived 2 months ago. So now we are trying to get back on track since I will be going back to work in 2 weeks. So what are your evening routines and how do you get your little ones to sleep. My kids are 3.5 years old and one is 14 months. My 3 year old sleeps fine once he gets to sleep..the problem is getting him to sleep. My 14 month old daughter has not been sleeping well the past few months. She has night terror symptoms and wakes up screaming and kicking and will cry until she throws up. I'm not exactly sure if it is night terrors or not. Sometimes we can give her some water and she goes right back to sleep...other times..she just kicks and screams and is inconsolable a majority of the time. We are just all having sleep issues right now!
Thanks.
Well e T. i was told and i tried this give them some warm milk shut all th lights and play classical music also if you run a hairdryer it makes them think they are in a car weird but a peditrician told me that and it actually worked i somtimes still lay down with my little girl too so i hope that helped :)
in a few weeks daylight savings time rolls back an hour. I would wait till then and let the clock work for you. start working on a routine that works for all three kids, easier said then done. For us, we did bath and lotion time, lavender sleep lotion, read one story, snuggles and cuddles and into bed. Mine are older now, but they still do basically the same routine. Best of luck, I know it is hard, but with a little time, you can get this back to normal!
My youngest goes through periods with the kicking and screaming. He's actually asleep through all of it, even though his eyes are open. We try to wake him up by carrying him around and chatting to him. He usually 'comes to' when we point out lights on the tv and microwave etc. Then he goes back to sleep easily. It probably is all to do with your new little one and the change in your family dynamics. You have a lot on your plate, especially going back to work. May the force be with you, and I hope you get some sleep!
There is no easy way to address the issue...there are ways of prevent them from getting to sleep...maybe if you can feed them all at the same time during dinner...and then put them to sleep or you can play soft music until they fall asleep. (Music is always soothing.) It will calm whatever fears your daughter has at night...OR She maybe scarred that you love the newborn than her...because affection and attention coupled together shows how much you love someone. So say something to her and hug her from time to time. When you develop this routine they will know what to expect all the time...Hopefully, they will sense it... they will get some shut-eye....
