No Sleep Problems for 3 Nights, Didn't Sleep Last Night????

[Guest guest]

Hi ladies, My son got his band on Monday. He is 7.5 months old. He was really good at night on the first 3 days he wore it (only waking 2-3 times but going right back to sleep), then all of a sudden last night he was all crazy. Up and down all night. I brought him into bed with me. Big mistake, I should have just kept to my normal routine of comforting him in his crib but I feel bad that the band may be making him uncomfortable. I just find it strange that for the first three nights he was fine then all of a sudden really bad. He woke up all cranky but he is usually the happiest in the morning. I guess that's because he didn't sleep well. Has this happened to anyone else??? I did get an adjustment made yesterday because the band was squashing one of his eyes but I doubt that is the problem because it fits better now. No red

spots. What do you guys think???? Thanks, Sybil

This is exactly what happened with my daughter. She is a bad sleeper

anyway though and hardly ever slept thru the night before she got the

band. The first three night she was in the band, she slept great. I

don't think she woke more than once those nights. I was already very

excited and thought this would last, but then, on the fourth night it

changed and she was up all night. She did that for a few nights after

that, I don't remember exactly how many, before she settled back into

her normal routine of waking up every few hours. Her band has always

fit well and I have no idea why she slept great the first few nights

and then cried all night several nights in a row. So, I guess, I

don't have any advice, but I am sure if the band fits well, your son

will get used to it pretty quick and start sleeping better again. I

haven't heard any moms complain about their babies not sleeping or

sleeping worse after they got the band and got used to the band. If

he continues though, I would call the pediatrician to get him checked

out; it might be something completely unrelated that is keeping him

(and you) up all night.

I hope he starts sleeping better soon!

Hi Sybil-

Could he be teething? It's possible it's something totally unrelated

to the band. Has it gotten any better over the weekend?

Sybil,

My son didn't sleep well before the helmet and was worse for about a 2 weeks

after the

helmet and then got gradually better. I'm willing to bet it is unrelated to the

helmet. Those

little tykes are good at manipulating us though...haha...look, he has you guilty

and

bringing him into bed, good job, baby! He's a smart one!!!

But seriously, I wish you the best, I know it's not easy " reading " a baby

without the

helmet, and with it is torture. Just keep going with your instincts and not

beating yourself

up. You brought him to bed because you needed to comfort him as much as he

needed

you. Now you are more clear minded today and can plan your next " attack " .

FYI, my son also cried for a few days after he graduated from the helmet. I

guess he

missed it!

Good Luck,

Mom to Lyons, RHS graduate 3/08
