Baby teeth & Sleep

Henry was doing great with his sleeping up until about the 4 1/2 month mark when he started waking up crying a lot at night.  We tried everything we could think of  (even putting him on his changing pad in his crib) but nothing was working.  After several weeks of him not getting any better we decided to take advantage of meeting with a nurse sleep specialist that came to the Bay Village Library.  We told her everything about our little guy and she basically said he was playing us like a fiddle!  So we cut out his middle of the night feeding, started giving him a bath every night and let him cry when he woke up.  By night 3 he was completely fixed!!!  Life is so much better in the Beal house these days.

It could have been his new teeth that were bothering him.  He’s now got 2 on the bottom with the top 6 looking like they will be here any day now.  Our days of being thankful for a baby that didn’t drool or spit up are officially over.  Like his little cousin Asher, Henry has now earned the nickname “Waterpark”.
