Starting Solids And Waking Up 4 Times a Night! Please Help! Posted: 08-05-06 02:39am
So logan usually sleeps through from 8pm
til 8am but I introduced him to solids a
few weeks ago. All was fine and dandy I
was giving him one meal a day to start
with and he was still sleeping hrough.
When I went away last week to see my
grandma she upped his solids from once a
day to breakfast, dinner and supper.
Well he took to it great but then
(confusingly) he started waking up 3-4
times while at my grandma's. I though
maybe it was the change in the scenery
(she lives in a seaside town, I live in
the city) but when I brought him back here
he has kept up the routine and for the
past 3 nights has woke up 3-4 times for
bottles.
I thought solids makes them sleep better?
Even though my daughter is only 17 months
i've completely forgot what it was like
and as I am pregnant again this is wearing
me out.
Please advise? Sorry for long post....

Could be hes going through a growth
spurt...
Elisa did that to me she slept through the
night from 6-7 weeks and started waking
back up at about 8 months when I went back
to work which was a big change supposedly
any drastic change can cause night terrors
as well. Anyways got elisa back onto a
schedule finally by 13 months and she
started to sleep through the night again
could be a few different things though
~teething
~night terrors (afraid of you leaving)
~growth spurt
~ear infection
~sleeping too much during the day
~stimulating him too much during the day
a bunch of different reason rule out
sickness first then work on the other
ones...

Hi I think you are probably right that he
is going through a growth spurt as he is
drinking bottles when he wakes. Should I
give him more food or just see it out?

During growth spurt they need more food
its easy to recongise when they are going
through one they get chunky and go skinny
again but yep give him more just dont over
feed him...

Thanks very much. You've reassured me
alot. I'm going to give him some mashed
up banana and rusks now

just be careful with the bananas and
fruits, they tend to cause a lot of gas.
Doctors recommend you start out with mild
vegetables. Plus if you start out with
fruits they will get used to the sweet
taste and wont want veggies and other
healthy things.
