My 1 yr old son used to sleep the whole night through now he's up at least once a night and ready to stay up around 6:30 am. Any ideas on how to get up to stay asleep during the night???

My son is 18 months old and I have the very same problem. I saw the ad for Calms Forte in the Parenting magazine and was interested, but its for children 2 and up. I tried chamomille tea before, when he was a baby, and that helped with his tummy issues. Some say putting a drop or two of lavander oil in your child's bed assures a restful night, but I haven't tried that one myself yet.

What I can tell you for sure is that not spending enough (of my, not my husband's though) time with him during the day will most certainly result in waking up at night and early in the morning. He also started having hight terrors which I am not sure why. I suspect he was physically abused in the home day care he was in up till December, but I have pulled him out of there and have since found a day care center for him which he loves. So I don't know if there are bad images and memories that come back to him at night.

If someone else have any idea or has tried the Calms Forte, please let me know.
