Baby waking up at night to 'play'

Teez, children get very hyper when they are overtired and this usually makes it even harder for them to fall asleep. i think they get so tired that their bodies go into a fight or flight response and pumps adrenaline to keep them awake.

My LG is 9 months old and has 3 naps during the day for a minimum of 3 hours (in total) then sleeps from 7pm - 7am. The longer I let her stay awake (lets say I stretch her awake time to 3 hours) the longer she takes to fall asleep so its a bad cycle to be in!

And one last thing when your lo has a good night and sleeps through don't tell anyone. You will jinx yourself.

I must also say that when Dylan started sleeping better during the day his night sleep also improved so day time naps are important too.

heehee... love that Marijke!

So true Julz... and the truth is that he hardly even sleeps during the day... 1 hour at a time is maximum. I really wonder where he gets all the energy from?
Imagine, when he starts walking?? OMG - now i am stressing LOL!

Sometimes along with all the cool love comes tough love and you are teaching him to learn how to handle being frustrated. Not teaching him these things will be worse for him in the long run and kids need their sleep.

You tell yourself that good sleeping habits is a gift you give your child Children learn better when they've had a good nights rest!

OMW - up to 10 days?! i was hoping for maximum 3! LOL

Oh gosh ladies, how do u get rid of the guilt?
