Calling all Mums, Please can you give me some advice/Tips?

i know just how you feel. my 1 year old got a nasty cold when we first moved from OK to PA and he would get up a couple times a night. i found he slept a little better in the living on the couch. well after the cold was gone he would wake up over and over again and i had to go out in the livingroom with him. it was getting so old and we were both very tired.i tried everything i could think of but he would wake right back up to go back to the livingroom. he started doing it through the day too and with other kids he never got his nap out when he was in the livingroom. after a couple weeks of this i just put a couple toys in his crib and shut the door. he would cry for a few minutes but then he would start to play and fall back to sleep. i hated it to leave him in there crying but i new there was nothing wrong with him he just needed to sleep. after about 3 days i could take him in and he would lay down and go right to sleep and stay asleep. now its been about 2 weeks and when hes tired and you ask if he wants to go to bed he will head right to his crib. good luck i really hope you find something to work for you

If she is still in a crib why not just give her a toy and let her play until she goes back to sleep. If she has no one to stimulate her, no lights on, noise, etc. She will go back to sleep. My first born used to wake up in the night and just play for a while and then go back to sleep. She didn't fuss after her diaper was changed. She'd just play awhile and then sleep. You might try keeping her up a half hour longer in the evening but using that time to do quiet things, reading stories, singing songs, etc. If she naps during the day she may not be tired enough to sleep through the night when she goes to bed early. I was blessed with babies that slept a lot! It is probably the saving grace of my parenting experience since I was ill most of the time when they were small.

I think you must try our technique in making our babies sleep thoughout the night. Never turn on the light and disregard any movement your kid may do, unless she would be panting and crying. Tell her to try to sleep again if whe wakes up at 11:30 pm.

You and I both! My daughter is 2 years old as well, and has very bad ezcema. She wakes up in the middle of the night and she is scratching like crazy. It also keeps her up till 3 or 4 am. And I am constantly trying to get her back into the routine where she'll sleep through and wake up happy. I usually apply 1% hydrocrotizone on her skin. It helps with the itchiness and there are also aloe moisturizers in there to keep her skin soft through out the night. And I try to keep her awake for the whole day, so by night, she'll be really really tired and falls asleep and stays asleep. So far, it's been working... hope this helps.

my child doesn't have ezcema so i might not be able to help much. but my sister's son does have. and from what i know, ezcema gets worse especially if the child is feeling hot or sweaty. they tend to itch then. her son had them around the neck especially. you can use the creams as suggested by others here. you can also try and keep your daughter cool. try not to be stuffy when she's asleep. also, don't let your child be too sweaty and you can try and use those moisturizing creams mentioned earlier. i hope it works. good luck.
