Hi Sarah, |
My baby is 8 months old and has never been one for sleeping. Even now she barely naps and at night sleeps for like 3 hours wakes and it takes a bit of time to put her back down. I have taken her to the doctors 2 times and he tells me she is completely healthy. What are some things I can do to help her sleep? Would constipation cause this? Or what else could this be? I try not to nurse her back to sleep but sometimes she is just very uncomfortable and won’t stop crying till I do.

Shealyn Well she normally wakes at 6 and her morning nap usually happen between 830/9 and only last 30 minuets. Then she nurses at 1145 and goes down for a nap. For a while again it was like 30-45 minuets but then it went to 2-2 1/2 hours, but we have gone back to the 45 minuets again! I try to rock her or get her to sooth herself but it doesn’t work. And when she does fall back asleep I put her down and she’s back up! |
