barely off schedule and he's a disaster! HELP

Posted by Sammom on September 05, 2002 at 08:33:05:

After I posted my last message it seems that things have gotten worse. For the last week my son has been getting up for about 2 hours in the middle of the night and screaming. He is not consolable and as I stated before we try to let him cry (up to 1 hour) which only makes things worse. Yesterday I went to my sister's for the day and amazingly he did take a nap there from 10:30-1:00 but when we got home he would not take another nap and was very over tired. When bedtime came he screamed from 6:30-8:00 before falling asleep then was up at 4:00 am and was not able to ever go back to sleep until 10:00 am which is way too long for him. It seems that if I go anywhere and get him even 15 minutes off schedule we have these episodes. I am to my wits end! Does anyone have a suggestion??
