Waking 3 hours after bedtime?

Question

For about a week or so, my perfect sleeper has been waking up at 11pm and needing to be held to go back down. Sometimes we give her baby Tylenol because she still doesn’t have teeth and we figure they might be coming. 
Curious if others went through something similar and how long it lasted. I suppose this could be her form of the 8 month sleep regression at 9 months 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Shep still wakes up I chalk it up to a baby wanting to be held by his mama and I’m ok with that. Could be a regression but they still are just babies. They are only little for so long 😇 I doubt it’s teeth, I’ve never given my kids Tylenol for teething they are hardly bothered- Shep just popped 4 on top at once and I had no idea. I personally wouldn’t be giving meds unnecessarily

Answer

We do Tylenol if I think Henry is in pain. I was hesitant and worried about giving Tylenol and then a friend asked me if I would withhold Tylenol from someone who had a headache. Or if I would take Tylenol if I had a headache. Of course I wouldn’t, so if it helps him not be in pain, why wouldn’t I give home medication? We notice a huge difference when we give Henry Tylenol. 
We don’t do it every night but when he seems to be really uncomfortable we do, and it helps, and I think that’s okay. He is currently cutting his second tooth. 
If he is screaming and inconsolable and acting like he is in pain we pull him out of bed. We keep him in his sleep sack, give him Tylenol, and then bring him out in the living room for 30 minutes. We snuggle him, read a story, sing songs and take a break from bedtime to get him calmed down and give the Tylenol a chance to kick in. Then we go back into his room and do the bedtime rock, nurse, etc routine again and he usually goes down so much easier.

Answer

We went through the exact same thing. He had a tooth though so I tried to give him water instead of milk to go back down. But sometimes he was ruthless and I just gave in with a formula bottle. But it was about 11-1am that he would wake up screaming

Answer

Give Tylenol before you put him down when his is teething to try to prevent him from waking. It usually works.
