Sleeping when the baby sleeps seemed to be a near impossible task for me. Even though at 9 months old he still sleeps for 15 hours, I am only getting about 6 – Any other mamas on my boat?!
Logan naps perfectly. But bed time, was a different story. He was waking up about 5 times a night – and somehow he always knew when I was about to fall asleep, so he could wake up.
We went through every possible idea and suggestion Google can provide:
- Do a routine
- Feed before bed
- Take him for a walk before bed
- Music/ White noise
- Lavender
Nothing.
To the doctor we went, his suggestion – the Ferber Method. Personally, I don’t judge those who can use this method successfully. I, however, can’t hear him moan or cry without an anxiety attack. So I turned to more natural method – I found Boiron Homeopathic Remedies.
The two products that I use:
I noticed that Logan’s main reason behind his restless nights, was the teething. Currently, he is cutting 5 (probably 6 now) teeth – it’s driving both of us mad. We use Boiron Camilia to help ease his teething symptoms. The drops help ease painful gums, irritability, red cheeks and fever. Usually within 15 minutes I start to see the effects taking place.
I love using this teething relief because its Benzocaine and Preservative-Free.
*Benzocaine is a numbing agent found in most teething products. Although it is safe for babies, it can often numb their tounges and throats as well. Making you baby prone to gagging and choking.
I recently started using the Boiron Quietude with the Boiron Camilia. The Boiron Quietude is a Homeopathic product designed to help babies and children with mild sleep disorders. Basically, if your baby is having restless, irritable, overall terrible nights, you need to try Quietude. It took a few nights to adjust, but now I’m so happy that we found it.
I wanted to take the time to share in case there were any other mamas like me out there. The waking up 5 times a night and sleeping for 3 hours leaves you drained.
