Why wont my 1.5 year old sleep through the night?

My daughter is 1.5, and wakes up almost every hour of the night. She has all her teeth, and has been to the Dr.'s 3 times. (nothing wrong medicaly.





Most of the time its like shes not even awake, just making wimpering, whinning noise. But as a single mom of two, i CANT sleep through it. Its driving me crazy. i cant get a nights of rest for anything, and i dont know what more it could be.


Shes not sick, its not a stomach ache. I feel like its physciatric but dont know where to start.

My son is the same way. There are sometimes when its worse than others too. A lot of times I have to get him a bottle and then finally he will sleep for long periods of time past 8am because he was so restless the entire night. He will scratch his belly with both hands so I give him mylocon thinking he has an upset tummy. It can be nerving bc you want and desperatly need a night sleep. I think its normal because my son does the same thing. Im like why wont you just sleep through the night. He wakes up every 2hours it seems. From what I read in parent magazines its normal but it has to do more with self soothing than anything else. Us as mommas run to the rescue to put them back to bed before they fully wake up. From all Ive read its helping them self sooth that is hard and the reason they keep fussing at night.
Reply:she is probably having bed dreams or she is not comfortable where she is sleeping make she is isn't hot or cold and try getting a softer mattress in her crib... if she is sleeping in a play pin or still a baskenet that's probable why
Reply:Babies make noises periodically through the night. If it bothers you to the point where you can't get any rest, it might better you sleep in another room (if you share a bed or room) or turn the monitor off. You know she's not in pain and is medically okay, so sometimes you have to do this.


The other thing is that if you continue to respond to her wimpering noises, she may end up not falling into a deep and restful sleep because she'll anticipate you going in to her. This will stop her from soothing herself back to sleep when she wakes up. As much as you don't want to do it, you may need to make sure she is dry, comfortable, and not in any distress or pain, and leave her til morning. Try it for a few days and see if it works. You both need a sound sleep to function well during the day!
Reply:I have a 2 year old son and he is the same way. He wakes up two to three times a night except he gets out and roams his room or wants to eat or drink. My mom said I was the same way as a toddler and so was my sister. She told me to stop letting him take naps after eleven o'clock and not to give him any sugar after 6. Also to wake him up early in the morning that way he is tired when he goes to bed at night and will most likely sleep through the night. At two it is difficult for me to keep him awake all day, but this may be effective for you.
Reply:I thought i was going thru this alone. my son is 18 months. i was and sometimes still get a few hrs a sleep and then have to be up with my son and then go to work like that. i thought i was going crazy. ive tried music, a bottle before going to bed, a bath, anything, i probably tried. the best thing i think that works for now, is that i stopped him from taking a nap during the day. hes so exhausted, that by 10:30 or ll at nite, i put him to bed. works wonders. but wat might be helping me now is that i took him to the doc and told them that they have to help me. we realize that hes breathing more thru his mouth than his nose. so now hes being observed more closely. they put him on allergy meds to see if its that. since then, hes sleeping better. ask ur doc to check his nose and throat. its so hard when you dont get sleep. hang in there. good luck
