Help- My 10 month old won't sleep!?

Question

He has been up every hour 10-4. He up been up since 4 now & he will not go to sleep. It is 5:15am here. I have changed him, cleaned out his nose, gave him tylenol, tried to feed him oatmeal & some formula, nursed him, rocked him, put music on. What else can I try? He starts to go to sleep on my chest & wakes up crying whenever I put him in his crib.

Answer 1

i had the same trouble at about 10 months with my little one, apparently its because they are learning new things like crawling or walking and they just want to try it out, its very common around this age. mine woke up howling and howling, nothing i did would stop her, i even tryed juggling, dancing, feeds, nothing worked, in the end i just left her in the cot fir 20 mins and the crying started to get less and finally she nodded off,, sorry i cant be much help but she will grow out of it i promise xxxx

Answer 2

Just to be on the safe side and because if can't tell you himself I would take him to the DR and get him checked just to make sure all is ok...you never know he may have belly pains or something.

If he checks out fine then I would look into other methods of soothing him to sleep.

Try giving him a massage...it used to help my daughter. Use lotion with a lavender scent if you have it.

Good luck

Don't let him sleep during the day, keep playing with him ,take him to the  park ...

And make  sure he is Not sick he has no fever or any pain , some times baby doesn't let you know if he has pain .

Answer 4

the best thing to do for a child who has a lot of energy which he has if he's up late or he's waking up in the middle of the night for long periods of tyme... iz during the day be very active with him... one nap a day is okaii but you shouldnt let him take 3 or more naps a day because thats where all his enegry is coming from the he's wide awake a night.... he cant sleep... hope you try my advice i have 13 nieces and Nephew and have been taking care of newborns up scent i was 10 and im now 17...

hope things getting better for you... i no it stressful sumtimes because you need you rest too..
