[ - ] Any thoughts about how to help my 17mo sleep through the night? I think her teeth hurt or something, she cries for a long time and does not settle down, but when I finally go in there to check on her she is seemingly half-asleep, she is lying down and mushing her face into her lovey or little pillow. I would do anything, not against her sleeping with me if it would help any, but when I do bring her into my room she doesn't sleep, obviously she's totally psyched about it and wants to play and talks and sings and rolls around. DH and I are exhausted. Help! (She is #2 btw, our older dd never did this, and we are at a loss.) 8 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

op: no actually. I let her cry for 10 minutes before going in there, as I know that much longer than that and she will wake our older dd. Last night I threw up my hands and just let her cry (it's not constant, she cries, settles, cries, yells, settles, talks, settles if that makes sense) for a good 40 minutes, it did wake older dd... :( and she did not settle down. Finally I went in there and rocked her and she did fall back to sleep. On me. In the rocking chair, where I really cannot stay for more than 20 minutes at a time without my back starting to bug me, or believe me, I'd be happy to sleep there too. sigh. [ Reply | More
