Something's up

Tweet

My little guy has just turned one, and still wakes up during the night. Usually once or twice a night. It's unusual for them to still wake up sometimes at this age. With him, I usually rock with him, he'll fall asleep, and I usually have no issue putting him back in his crib. However, the last couple of nights have been different. Tuesday night, around 3:30 in the morning, he woke up. So as usually, I went to rock with him, and as he seemed to have fallen asleep on me, I went to put him in his bed. However, he didn't stay asleep. Both my husband and I tried a few times with him, with no success. So finally around 4:30 I came down with him. He was up for a little, before finally falling asleep on me. The last two nights have been about the same. Although the last two nights I've brought him in our bed, as it seems as though the only way he can fall and stay asleep is with us. It's also been the only way my husband and I can get some sleep. I have noticed that he's a little congested, which may be part of the problem, but I still have some concerns. My husband has suggested taking him to the clinic, which certainly is a good idea. If this continues tonight, I may just take him to the clinic tomorrow. I hope it's nothing and tonight goes more smoothly. But we'll have to see.
