My 21 month old has never been a good daytime sleeper. If I can get him to nap, he wakes after 20-40 minutes, crying. He is tired and miserable and making the rest of us miserable. Now this pattern is beginning to show up at nighttime, too. I've tried the Ferber method, leaving him to cry, sleeping with him, staying in his room, giving Infant Tylenol (in case it was teething), and everything else my doctor or I knew to try. The one time I called the sleep disorder clinic, I was told he'd have to spend a night in the sleep lab before the doctor would even see me. Being a mainly daytime problem and knowing he would never sleep in such a strange place, I never called back. Does anyone have any other other suggestions? All of the books I've read only deal with naps in passing and yes, he DOES need a nap!
