hi
my daughter is 18 months old. she had severe diarrhoea 15-20 days back. although totally recovered frm it but she doesnt sleep well after that all. she wd wake up every 3-45 min at night,wd take few sucks of breast milk ,go off to sleeo , then again the same thing. now we r exhausted wth it. she doesnt have any pain in stomach, nor she remains hungry. she has had her 10 teeth till now. 2 upper premolars r in the process. pls suggest something urgently Hetal replied. 18months healthy child is unlikely to get up in middle of night...
1. check his mini meals,,how many does he take ?
2. upper premolars are in process, could be the reason of fussiness. ask your dr for some teething soothers or pain reliever,,,after all your child deserves a good night sleep and so do you. never compromise on your child sleeping schedules,,if it requires to give pain reliever esp if teething is the reason !!!! as far as other remedies are concerned,,teething might trigger other loose motions(she already had one), or ear infection, cold and cough or fever,,so avoid ne other remedies,,,a good dose from dr will give her more comforts and avoid her getting into loop of other illness...

3. she has recently recovered from diarrhoea so quite possble that even if you have not noticed but she might have gained her apetite or her apetite might have got a burst,,,which means her meals have to be taken care of....eliminate this possblty and see if it helps.

4. since she has just recovered,,just make the past problem has not caused some other problem ! check her bowels, temperature and her other schedules...

5. waking up every 45mins,,is she taking cows milk ? or is exclusvily bf,,,if exclusvly bf, then she needs feeds of cows milk. so offer that,,in according to below and see if it helps !!

your 18months old is ready for all of the below,,,see if she is taking what she deserves !

try offering a good feed of cows milk before sleep and it should help..18months old is ready for milk additivies,,so ask your dr about it or complan or horlicks whatever seems to interst your baby with milk... ruchika replied. hi madhvi,
