My baby can't sleep, please help!?

Question

My 15 months old baby is teething and she can't go to sleep even though she's super tired. I already gave her pain reliever but i can't give her any milk because she's vomiting. She just lying on her bed trying to sleep but she won't stop moving her feet...

any advice?

Answer 1

I always gave my kid's some tylenol,  orajel and three Hyland's teething tablets.  The combination worked pretty good to kill the pain.  The only thing I can think of is for you to lay down with her or have her lay on your chest to help her fall asleep.  Only because she is in pain right now and would feel much better with someone she loves close to her.  Or you could just stay next to her bed and rub her head until she falls asleep.  Remember it's going to take her alot longer to fall asleep since she's in pain.  

There is also a virus going around right now in young children.  Symptoms are:  Red throat,  vomiting,  diarrhea,  runny nose,  night sweats and restlessness.  Just to let you know... I had a very hard time dealing with my kid's at that age.. Those first year molars are painful!!!  

Oh yeah,  her temp should rise since she's teething.. but anything over 100.3 is considered high for teething.. and she should be seen by the doctor.  Just give her water since she's throwing up.

CATNIP TEA BABY I have used it on both kids and my new one. Buy at local health store make  it strong add to fav. juice.It helps if they are hungry so they will drink it all.

Answer 3

Keep giving her the tylenol as long as she has a fever/pain and Pedialyte so she does not get dehydrated from the vomiting (you can also try the pedialyte freeze pops if she dont really like to drink it and she will love them cause she will think its a snack and not medicine http://www1.shopzilla.com/7S--Baby_Feedi... as far as the teething you should get Humphreys they work like a charm (they are little pelets) you can get them at your local pharmacy  

Answer 4

I had massive problems with getting my 3 month old son to sleep.  He would just lie awake and cry for hours, then when he finally went to sleep he would wake every hour or two hours through the night and cry again!  Talk about pulling our hair out .... we were absolutely desperate for sleep!

It was a baby sleep audio program recommended by a friend that finally saved us. We followed the advice and began by creating a baby sleep routine which included bathtime, dimming of the lights, putting Paul into his crib, final nappy change and then lullabies. We also made recommended changes to his naps during the day and used some of the other recommended techniques. Within two weeks he was sleeping through the night most nights with just the odd night where he would just wake once!

Definitely start by creating a good baby sleep routine though and you could find that solves most of your baby sleep problems.

Good luck!

Answer 5

I agree with Mya- Hylands tablets are great. So is Boiron Camilia.
