When Your Baby Won’t Sleep – Symptoms

Posted by admin on February 20, 2009

What are some symptoms associated with sleep problems in children?

While this is not a complete list and some of these problems may occur from time to time if you have any of the issues mentioned below on a regular basis you may have a problem with your child’s sleeping patterns.

Some symptoms may be:

Night Terrors / Nightmares (they are different) – When a child has night terrors there is no response to parent. The child still may seem to be in the dream. Nightmares generally are bad dreams that have ended and the child will respond to parents.

Breathing Problems (sleep apnea)

Violent rocking or head banging to bring to a sleep state. This can also happen during the night.

Frequently waking during the night, not sleeping for the full time from bedtime until normal waking hours.

Difficulty sleeping – while this seems to be a duh! statement actually when a child is demanding as far as length of time taken from parents to coax them to sleep this can be associated with sleeping problems and there are solutions to help.

Thankfully all of these symptoms can be remedied with a bit of time and research for a happier and healthir child and parents.
