11 months old and not sttn

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Any words of wisdom?  Any tips?

One twin does pretty well with sleeping from 8pm-7am, but the other one still wakes up 1-2 times per night.  And, he just wants milk.  I've tried patting, rocking, putting him in bed with us, and lots of other things.  But, he still won't sttn and will only go back to sleep once his gotten his belly full of milk.  He is also the first child to wake up from their morning and afternoon naps.  Is he just a bad sleeper?  Is there any hope??

 Thanks for any insights!!

    DD doesn't STTN yet either. She's kind of a crappy sleeper overall and I'm really hoping she's getting close to growing out of it.

    This.  Neriah still gets up every 40min - 2 hours all night.

    No real tips -- just wanted to tell you you're not alone!! My DD wakes up at least 2-3 times per night. If she's teething, it can be every 2 hours -- or even every 45 minutes. I nurse her every time she wakes up. Once she's turned a year, I think I'll start night weaning. Ferber's book addresses this -- he suggests gradually shortening nursing sessions or putting fewer ounces in a bottle.

    I'm going to scare you.

    DS is still not STTN. He did it for a week earlier this month. Then stopped. He's toying with us. LOL

    Sorry to hear about one of your girls not sleeping well either.  I'm just tired beyond belief at this point!  Would just love to have him sttn.  It would make such a difference while I'm driving all those long hours in the car every day!

    Oh, that stinks!  Hope the crying is brief. 

    And let's start looking into some July weekend dates; hopefully everyone can make it this time.

    Are you still having your July 4th party??

    My pediatrician told me only to feed DS if it had been 6 hours since bedtime.  This got us down to one feeding a night and then that slowly tapered off to none.  You can try giving a little less formula (or less minutes on the breast) each night.  I was scared DS would go hungry, but now he wakes up in the morning and wants to play for a while before having his bottle.  He was clearly not hungry.  

    Consistency is key for some babies.  I would always cave and bring DS to bed, so my husband took over night duty for a couple weeks and was very methodical about it.   

    Naps still suck, but are slowly getting better.  I often wonder if I am doing something wrong, because my friend's baby is such an amazing sleeper, but I think you prove that it just depends on the baby.
