Hello, I have a 2.5 year old daughter that has slept with us from birth. She was a FANTASTIC sleeper from birth until 5 months when she started teething and was bad until she stopped at 18 months. She slept great for a few months until she turned 2 and got her 2 year molars. And then she started almost nightly waking up multiple times a night crying fussing kicking screaming. It can last from hours to minutes. Sometimes she is in raged and sometimes she will fall right back asleep. She has no medical issues. We striclty follow chiropractic and natural medicine. She has never had any medicinal formula, no vaccinations ect. We have gotten her on a good schedule which has helped but it hasn't supsided so we have also tried chamomile teas, calm's forte, proper diet. Nothing works she is really active and so happy except for the normal 2 year old outburst. She takes a 2 hour nap daily with no problem, falls asleep within 10 minutes. But night time is such a struggle she will fight for an hour or more and finally sleep from 9-6 or 7 usally. But with the constant waking up crying, screaming, whining. It is totaly wearing on my husband and I. I am sure we are not doing everything perfectly (who does).

Forever we have had to hold her rock ect. She always fought us for sleep. But she lets us now lay with her to fall asleep it just takes so long and then she wakes up whimpering ect. We would like to eventually move her into her own room but she is not talking good enough and she is strong minded and it's not a fight we are willing to deal with at the moment. But it is beginning to interrupt the new baby as well who also is a fantastic sleeper. I am concerned the new baby will change when she starts teething. I think it's because we didn't give her anything to help the teething pain. I am not much for giving them aspirin or medicine.

I guess I feel like we are missing something and don't want to make the same mistake with our second. Any help would be appreciated.
