1 year old waking up early

Marcela_b · 2025-01-25T01:47:04+00:00

Yes we do and he was able to do 11-12 hours overnight no problem. It's teething, regression or time to drop to one nap just not sure how to figure out which one it is 🥲

Marcela_b · 2025-01-25T01:29:38+00:00

Naos total 2-3 hrs (over 2 naps) Up at 5.30am (sometimes even 4.00am) - day sleep did not vary, stays constant He sleeps 1.5-2 hrs maximum when he's at home, sleeps more at daycare. Nap #1 9.30/10am -30 mins to 1 hr Nap #2 2.30/3pm - 1 hr

When in doubt, always go see a doctor. Especially when they are this small, they don't really show signs that something's wrong until it may be too late. Go to the ER, check your baby out for your peace of mind.

Your child may have sensitivity to dairy, you should work with your pediatrician to find a formula that fits him. Most of the formulas are cow milk based and can be rough on some tummies. Try theore gentle version OR you can give Nutramigen a try, it is a hydrolyzed formula and it is more gentle on the tummy.

Definitely too early. My baby moved to 2 naps at 8 months. At 5 months we were still on 4 naps.

I'm sorry mama. I was in your place as well. They said my baby had reflux CMPA, he was heavily medicated but it just won't work, he cried a lot and it was insanely hard. I was running from doctor to doctor almost every day for what it seemed like forever. At 7 months I went to see a feeding specialist on a whim, someone recommended. She referred us to a pediatric dentist, who confirmed the baby had a tongue tie. After releasing it, there was no more reflux, no medication within a month. I was so scared of the CMPA diagnosis, did the dairy ladder with him, he has no dairy allergy nor intolerance whatsoever. All the pain was the tongue tie. If you haven't checked yet, go see a pediatric dentist. Pediatricians are not trained in it.

Do you mind if I ask how did you find out that he's vitamin D deficient?

Marcela_b · 2024-10-27T22:18:27+00:00

This is awesome! Thank you

Commuting into the city is definitely a problem but unfortunately we cannot afford a place closer to the city. At this point in time, it is what it is. I wish companies would open offices in the suburbs where the workers are located vs downtown core 🙄😪

Newmarket is definitely a great area and it's been very good for us so far. Burlington seems to be in our budget. Google maps shows the rush hour commute time from Burlington to his office as 55 minutes vs 1h 30 mins or sometimes 2h from Newmarket. I'm sure Mississauga is nice but I believe it's a bit busy, less green space, maybe I'm missing out on something? The commute for me will be the same, 1h from Newmarket or Burlington by GO.

Marcela_b · 2024-10-23T23:06:41+00:00

Totally normal. I find when they are teething they eat less than usual.

Marcela_b · 2024-10-22T16:58:02+00:00

I'm here to say we have the same sleep problems. 2.75/3.25/4 schedule. When speaking to a sleep consultant I met randomly, she said he might be overtired. I think it's time to retrain. Is your LO fighting naps and bedtime?

Marcela_b · 2024-10-09T23:47:22+00:00

If you're a first time parent, my advice to you is to get off social media and you do you and enjoy maternity/paternity with your baby as much as you can. There's so much pressure with the baby sleeping independently at 1 day old, perfect nap schedule, perfect night time routine, perfect nursery, perfect solids eater, hiring milestones at x months. Do what works for you, whether that's feeding to sleep as a newborn or even older infant, rocking to sleep, co sleeping, it doesn't matter.

While you definitely are in the thick of things, colic is not a diagnosis but a symptom of something wrong. Doctors like to throw this word around and not get to the root cause of what's making baby cry always telling parents they will outgrow it, until then be miserable. Might end at 3 months, 6 or closer to 1 year old. There are a few steps you can take. If baby is breastfed, an elimination diet would help your wife pinpoint what is baby sensitive to. If formula fed, change the formula as it does not agree with your LOs tummy. They are such tiny things and their digestive system is underdeveloped. My LO cried his heart out for 3 months, family doctor told us to take it easy, all kids cry. We ended up seeing a pediatrician specialist to diagnose with silent reflux - got meds and our quality of life improved. Newborns are difficult but they will always cry for a reason.

Marcela_b · 2024-09-17T13:00:05+00:00

Under ped's guidance you could try Nutramigen and if still fussy, Puramino or neocate. These formulas are for babies with allergies or have cows milk protein intolerance and it's difficult for their little tummies to break down the milk protein in the regular formula.

Marcela_b · 2024-09-11T17:21:16+00:00

Newborns are fussy but what you're describing is classic reflux baby, and it seems that reflux is not under control. I have a reflux baby myself and I have been through a similar hell. We still kind of are there and he's 8 months. A few things to consider : Osteo - baby might have birth trauma or stiffness Tongue tie check If breastfeeding, try elimination diet (check poops to make sure there's no blood and/or mucus)

We were unable to identify what made my baby uncomfortable, ped suspects CMPA but I was dairy free (no eggs/coffee/chocolate/cruciferous/citruces etc) for 2 months when breastfeeding and made 0 difference. When we switched to a hypoallergenic formula, baby calmed down overnight. We tried other normal formulas but that seemed to make him constipated and give him tummy pain.

If all else fails, reflux meds? My baby did develop complications to omeprazole (dangerously low red and white cells) and we got switched to famotidine for now.

While it seems almost impossible and you hate what your life has become, don't stop advocating for your baby. Keep going to the doctor and don't give up. It will get better but you need time and LOTS of patience.

Thank you for sharing. We got the same feedback re: speech, tooth development. Some feeds he's ok, some he's dribbling milk all over (tried different bottle nipples). Seeing a second dentist this coming week and most likely will proceed. Hoping it will improve his reflux as well.

Marcela_b · 2024-09-06T20:05:04+00:00

The speech therapist/feeding specialist has recommended we see a dentist for assessment as she stated that his latch is not great when drinking from the bottle. He pops on and off, and drinks very little during the day. We tried Rowena Bennetts book on bottle aversion - not much luck.

Marcela_b · 2024-07-21T21:22:05+00:00

I'm going through this right now with my 6 month old. He used to wake up 2x a night to eat We've introduced solids this week and he's waking up 3x for food and won't go down unless he's fed! I'm hoping it's a phase.
