11 month dated pitching fits...?


I have an 11 month old daughter who up until almost a week ago had no problems with going to bed at her usual bedtime(between 10 and 11pm) but flipped like a light switch. Any time My husband or myself put her to bed she scream at the top of her lungs and refuses to go to sleep. We hold tried to let her "cry it out" as we have be told by several family members but she will move about on for hrs and it becomes unbearable. Has anyone else have this problem? And if so does anyone know of any tricks that could help? I just cant numeral out why her habits changed so suddenly.

Answers:    We had a similar problem beside our daughter starting much younger and resolving earlier. In our case it turned out to be that she needed to jump to bed earlier.
It sounds crazy, but it's true.
When really young children procure over-tired, they become so wound up and crazy that getting them to sleep is nigh on impossible. Ev used to go to bed near 1 am, and when this phase kicked I (out of sheer exhaustion) but her to bed at 7 one dark because I didn't know what to do, and bam. It was that easy.

Other things that could back: Make sure her naps are regular. She should be getting two shorter ones (1-2 hours) or one really long one a day, at equal time every day, and should not be allowed to nap any following than four. Make sure she's well fed formerly bed, and follow a routine. This might take a week or two to sink in for her, but eventually the words "bed time" and tooth brushing (even if she just has one :) ) will get her rubbing her eyes.

I also found that at going on for one she went through "the three weeks from hell" where nought worked, and we finally found out she had a bladder infection, so don't rule that out either! I hope this help.
Try putting her to bed earlier. She could be over tired. My daughter (12 months) goes to bed around 7:30pm. If she is up any subsequent than 8:30, it turns into a total war (same if she is late for her naps). It could purely be a phase that will fade out on it's own, too. Also, she could very well be teething. My daughter HATES to sleep when she is teething. Try a bit of infant acetaminophen or ibuprofen (Tylenol/Advil... never aspirin) 20 minutes back bedtime for a couple days, see if that helps at all.

Good luck!
I have exactly the same thing from Rosie at matching age.
I used to bring her down for half an hour and sit with her sensibly - no playing, no milk.
I would then put her back to bed and after a short bout of grizzling she would shift back off.
I have a sneaking suspicion that she was having dreams as her cry be ear-piercing!!
Same thing happened to my wife and I near our second daughter. Right around the same age. We thought she was teething, but the kid orajel and or infant tylenol didn't help. It got to the point that the individual way she'd fall asleep be lying on my chest. That lasted about a month. We still don't know what it be. (maybe just a phase, maybe it be teething, maybe she was going through a growth spurt, conceivably she was having nightmares.) None of them generate the crying any easier to deal with, but eventually she in recent times started going back to bed on her own.
Here's what I have literary: Babies go through phases and just approaching the rest of them eventually it will pass. Until she's going to bed on her own again try to have rather patience and just remember it's a phase. Good Luck!
