New adoptive parent help with 18mth old
Hello folks
We are new adoptive parents andwanted to see if someone can share any knowledge on this
We have had our child now only one month from foster care
Our question is that just lately his sleeping is very erratic
Up until last week he was on an afternoon nap for a couple of hours then typically in bed just before 8
He would sleep till 7am the next morning and would sometimes wake for a few secs in the night crying then he would fall back asleep
The past few nights we have the same routine
He is waking at about 10 crying his lungs out
My wife settles him for about an hour till he falls back asleep then 2 hrs later it starts again
We go into his room and he is standing up in his crib
Just wondering if he is having some nightmares ??
Teething - ? although teething I think would bother him through the day also yet he is fine
Hes always in a good mood
Any ideas ??
I thnk part of this now is that he is becoming attached to us ( good and bad thing I guess) but we used to be able to put him down for a nap without a whimper and my wife said today he was balling for half an hour till he fell asleep
We also noticed that he was not that close to the FF and notice that even with strangers he will go to them and be very very friendly - he is even improving in that area also
Suggestions ???
Thks
