    6 Month Old And Nap Issue

    I have a dcb that will go down for afternoon nap and exactly one hour later, she is up screaming her head off. If I leave her in there she will cry for the remainder of nap. Almost never going back to sleep. This has been going on for two weeks. She is teething and I understand that she is uncomfortable but other then that she is fine.

    If I get her up from nap early, she is a wreck until 5 when she takes another little nap. But after nap she is the same way since she is only sleeping an hour... crying hysterically any time she is set down.

    She has gone from sleeping 9am-10am(she wakes up at 530) to sleeping 9am-920am. And 1215pm-245pm to sleeping 12-1.

    Sometimes she wakes up even sooner and cries until the other baby wakes up. Then his crying soothes her back to sleep.

    I use a sound machine and teething remedies but nothing help. She is just a crying mess all afternoon now.


    Anyyyyyyy advice would be greatly appreciate

    Sorry to hear that. :hug: Had a similar experience with the 5 (now 7) month old I watch. She would wake up screaming like she was either in pain or having a night terror and wake up all the other kids everyday. Went on vacay for two weeks with her parents and came back minus the issue.
    The only thing I do now is play relaxing music (enya, new age) during naptime and that helps her stay asleep. She's off and on with binky use.
    Good luck, I hope it improves soon. :/

      No advice here - just keep trying whatever you can and eventually it will get better. I've gone through phases like this with all of my own kids and dc babies. It ****s and is frustrating but just keep trying whatever you think may work! What didn't work yesterday may work tomorrow.

        she sounds horribly sleep deprived. what time is she getting there. at 6 months old, I would expect her to take three naps a day. if she is waking at 530, I would do a nap at 730. no way would i keep her up till 9, that is too long for most kids that age. i think your issue is keeping her up too long.
