The nine month old I watch has occasional nightmares, they happen every few months and result in a few days of grumpy. Well, he had one last night and since then has woken up and cried...he wont go to sleep and only seems happy in the tub, but I do not think it wise to keep a baby in the bathtub all day. He is also teething, I have given him teething medicine, tylenol, and all variety of chew-stuffs, and also let him cuddle in his favorite soft blankey of mine. Everything I try helps for a short while but then he gets upset and fights sleep again! In about 6 hours he will have been mostly awake and fussy for a full 24 hours...I know this isnt the first time he has done this and his mom has spoken to his pediatrician and all they say to do is get by until he is better, call if things dont improve in a few days. What can I do to help settle him down and make him feel better?
