but i cant let him cry in the night can i? im at my wits end were in a top floor flat and have a very olderly women underneath and a old man the side of us,

last year i did cc to get jayden to go down to sleep on his own and had a word with neighbours who said they understand but when jayden wakes i can hear them get up. i dont know what to do, or why jaydene keeps doing this, he 9 months and 1 week! and has NEVER sleept through yet......

  • is it his teeth?
    i find that when dd works herself up with her teeth half an ashton and pearsons powder really calms her down. i can then give her some gel on her gums to numb the pain then she goes back off to sleep (after 10mins of flapping her tongue around because its numb). at 9 months jayden can have a whole powder as he is over 6 months.

    other than that im not sure what to suggest sorry.

    if he doesnt calm down after a powder then youll know its not his teeth.

  • My LO was sleeping through then when she was teething started waking up in the night. I too kept taking her into bed with me until my other half got the hump cos she was taking up too much room and used to go and get on the sofa lol! Anyway i knew we couldn`t carry onlike this so i started to put her car seat blanket in the cot with her and now she generally sleeps through. The only thing is we have to take the bloody thing everywhere with us now!! We also use Nelsons Teething Granules which are really good. You can pick them up from most chemists and they pop in the mouth, kind of like that fizzy stuff you can get when you`re a kid. It`s really good, highly recommend it x
