The last 2 nights in a row she has been extremely restless. She wakes every 45 min crying. I can get her to fall back asleep in about 10 min but...again...45 min later she wakes again. I am so tired and don't know what to do.
During the day she used to take a 2 hour morning and afternoon nap... the last 2 days she only took 2 45 min naps instead and she's been so fussy during the day too.. I took her temp and it's normal. I can get her to stop crying for a little while, but as soon as she's not being entertained she starts crying again.... I'm not goint to have any hair left!!! HELP... any advice is welcome. Thanks.

This is normal. It could be teething, or it could be that she's starting to remember things during the night that happened that day. Just be patient and responsive. Whatever the reason, she needs you:)

be patient, my son is 13 months and still wakes up in the middle of the night!
But if your baby was sleeping through the night and all of the sudden she is starting to wake up, then maybe there is a problem. Take her to the doctors. She might have an ear infection, some babies don't run a fever they just get restless, and stop sleeping and eating like they used too!
Good luck with your baby

When your baby wakes up, she might be hungry. Give her some milk or breast feed (whatever you do.) Try sending her back to bed after that. She might fall asleep.
Also, try giving her 15-25 min. naps. That'll take away her energy and help her sleep at night. Keep her playing with something so she'll be tired enough to go to bed.
Good luck!

Sounds like an ear infection to me. Have her checked tomorrow. Anytime a baby who was previously sleeping fine starts waking in the night and crying, that's 9/10 times what it is.

there is a few things you can try it worked for me and it has worked for my daughter on her two babies. try not letting her take a nap after 3 pm in the afternoon. this way she will be tired when bedtime comes. also try giving her a warm bath around 7 pm . and when you give her a bottle before bedtime add infant cereal to make the milk thicker it fills them up and they don't wake up hungry in the night.. the Dr. told my daughter her son at 4 months old wasn't getting filled up by milk alone so he told her to add cereal in the milk, and it worked..

Maybe you should get her an app. at the doctors office. Just because her temps. normal doesn't mean anything. Better safe than sorry! My cousin was really fussy and her mom took her to the hospital, tuns out it was something serious. But now she's okay.

Sounds like she's teething. My kids cried a lot and didn't sleep well when they were teething. Do you give her a bottle before she goes to bed? Buy some baby cereal, rice or oatmeal and give her a couple teaspoons with milk before she has her bottle. Make it like soup. To help her sleep though the night. Hope this helps you.

She wants your attention or maybe she has gas. A baby swing will help entertain her and if she gas 8/try the football hold with her face, facing the floor. Also are you trying new foods at this time that might be an issue to.

Is she teething? My kids both got teeth young and it is sometimes overlooked as a problem when it happens early. You could try some Motrin or Tylenol or Oral-gel, those might help.

rub her gums and see if she is teething that might be causing pain. Sometimes rubbing cold teething ring on her gums helps for this. Is she having enough formula or breast milk before going down for the night?
