Baby crying and unsettled during the nigths

My baby is past 15 months old now, and for about 2 weeks he wakes up during the night, very upset, unsettled, crying a lot inconsolably. Since he was born, sleeping wasnt an easy ride with him but after 13 months he started to sleep through. The past 2 weeks however he can only settle between us in the bed, which also takes quite some time. Anybody with similar issue?

I can't think of what it might be due to. His mollar has been growing but wouldnt he cry because of that during the day, too?

Thank you.

Hi I have no advice I’m sorry but my 15 month old little boy has also done exactly the same thing this past week! Crying so much in the night waking up each hour. He’s also been teething/ongoing colds etc which I wasn’t sure if it was that. I also saw on the wonder weeks app he’s just going into leap 10 which apparently means very clingy, irritable, grumpy, sleep regression etc 😭

Teething pain is usually worse at night just like any pain is usually worse at night because your body is at that point extremely low on energy and just wants to rest, but instead can only focus on whatever pain is present. My little girl currently has more teeth coming in but I find she’s generally more distracted from it during the day, but it bothers her at night. She bites on her dummy a certain way as she cries in her sleep to try and relieve the pain etc.

I had similar with my daughter when she was 15 months. Suddenly awful sleep. Think it was her molars as nothing else had changed. She was also fine in the day but really not good in the night and always settled after calpol. So I gave it most nights before bed until the worst was over and now she’s pretty good again.
Hope it is that and that it improves soon! x

It will be her teeth. I had the same with my boy and one night he was inconsolable I ended up crying too. My husband had to settle the both of us down. Try giving ibuprofen before bed and see it that helps. It lasts 8 hours so it’s better than Calpol x

His* sorry x

Yep my 15 month old girl is the same. Never had an issue before. Was a good sleeper but these last few weeks have been a nightmare 😴

My girls the exact same :( I have to leave in a little while for work as well I feel completely knackered already as she’s been waking up every hour fussing around and not falling asleep

I’ve also heard teething can be worse at night, lying down can make it more painful and also day time for toddlers is so distracting that the pain can become an after thought. Have you tried calpol before bed?

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.
