She did it again!

Is it the same type of bed?What color is the room?I am not a baby expert, far,far from it but I have heard that the color yellow isn't a good color for baby's room, it is too bright.and it could be the type of bed she has at home.I also heard that the smell of lavender helps put baby to sleep.

Maybe she likes the bed you have for her. Perhaps you could swap them! lol. Kids are funny! Are you sure there isn't anything else going on at her home? Maybe there have been arguements she has heard. I don't know! Mine have there good and bad nights.

She may look at your place as a 'vacation.' She gets maybe a little more attention, so she's more relaxed, and therefore she sleeps easier and longer. My sister and I did that when we would stay with our grandparents. My mom couldn't understand it. But we just thought grandparents were so awesome we completely relaxed, no matter how hard we tried to stay up. Even at an early age.

I would play little games, maybe even take her for a little walk to tire her out. Give her a warm bath and some warm milk. It will knock her clean out, til morning.

It may simply be the routine. I know when my Nephew stays over we have a simple routine that we follow and he never has any problems here. At home, his Dad (my oldest brother) has a heck of a time dealing with him and his sister. MERRY CHRISTMAS!! **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

When I was younger I would often sleep comfortably oin bed in my grandparents homes and I would sleep well. I think a big part of what s going on may be just a comfort level, the vibes in the environment, the noise in the home. She may feel as though it is no bother to sleep there, and she may just like having you there to take care of her. Kids are amazingly smart on their own. Why not ask her? Maybe one night, when she is sleeping over, have her parents over for dinner and to stay while she falls asleep. This way they may notice the differences in your home compared to theirs. Maybe it's just warmer? Who knows? I would ask, and then the observation idea. Good luck! r.

my sixteen month daughter has started doing this sincew a week back. She had started sleeping through the night very easily but suddenly she gets up in the night looking for me and if I hold her hand she goes back to sleep. Its as if she suddenly wants me to be around her. May be she is getting insecure as she is growing up. I don't actually know.

My son does the exact same thing. Here we have some good nights but more so than often we have very bad nights. Sometimes he gets up as much as 7 times a night...average being about 3. I sent him to my mothers one night and was worrie the whole time! I didnt want her to have to get up all night with him as I knew how he slept here. I awaited until it was about 9am in the morning...hoping that I wouldnt wake them as I just assumed that they had been up all night. She had put him to bed at 8pm at night...no problem...put his music on and he was sleeping within 10 minutes. He woke up ONE TIME, she put his music back on and he was lights out till about 8am that morning. Crazy...why cant he just do that here..lol. I dont understand it either so I really dont have any suggestions for you to pass on to the parents. You have already done and recomended what I would do as well. Rountine, snack, story ect. Somethings in life we will never understand..lol

My oldest son is the same way, as are my neices. Like others mentioned its that they feel more relaxed at grandma's house. It's like a mini vacation. No siblings bothering them, a little more freedom and attention, and grandmas always seem to be more relaxed about things that moms tend to get upset over. LOL

I wish my kid was half as good at my house as he is with his grandmothers homes. Hes an honest little rotten head when at home and an angel at the grandparents. Kids know they can push their parents. They know their limits and will push them. Thy also know going somewhere else is a reward and they want it to happen as often as possible. Being good means they get rewarded. Its kinda logical. But it dosent make it any easier for us moms to get our whiney snotty kids back at the end of a weekend and hear how wonderful they are.

keep her with you.

Hello Dear!!From my experience with children I only can say that you need routine with them!!If you change your routine children became so anxiety and they don't want sleep!!Very good method is little snack and nice warm bath before bed time!I usu to read a nice book or I like to sing a song!On first place it is the rule that children have to go in bed in same time every day!See you and Regards Silvana

I want to know the answer to this as well. My 4 year old does the same as well. Not so much as waking up but playing up. I know that one of his problems is that he wants to sleep with someone so he can play with their ears but after 4 years I have had enough of this my ears are permanently red and sore. My mother lets him so he falls asleep in 10 min. We have a rutine he eats than about 1 hour later he puts his pj's on than we read few books than he has a cup of milk and brush his teeth and than he plays up. The time is going down it used to be 2 hours now we are down to about 30-40 min. Also we have a huge issue with eating he is so picky at home but at my parents he eats everything. I dont let him get away with that (as in give him other things) but he still does that.

My 19 month old is the exact same way. She is fine at my mother's house, but when she is at home it takes an act of congress to get her to even go to sleep much less stay asleep all night. The thing is...she knows what buttons to push while she is at home with mommy and daddy and she knows what they will do if she gets up or if she wants something. When she is at home they need to stay consistent with your routine if that's what works and not give in to her. It may take a few days or maybe even a few weeks, but eventually your granddaughter will figure out when it is time to sleep and when it's time to be up. Good luck and God bless
