11 months old and still not sleeping!

mandikay06 · January 2011

Hey ladies I need some help! My son will be a year Feb 12, 2011 and he is still not sleeping through the night! I have tried keeping him up later and putting him to bed earlier neither work! He gets up at about midnight or 2 and then at 4. He wants a bottle and screams bloody murder if we dont give him one! He def is not starving he weighs 25lbs. Any other suggestions?

how is your bedtime routine, do you have one? i take DD upstairs between 7-730pm every night...sometimes i let her play in her room as i get her bag together for the next day...she gets a bath, bottle (although now im weaning off), i rock her for a couple of minutes (but to start out maybe 15-20 minutes), than i lay her in her bed...at first she would scream...maybe for 15-30 minutes...i would go in her room, not say a word, lay her back down and give her her paci...leave & close door...sometimes she would get back up and scream more, but i wouldnt go back in...after about a week and half, i could lay her down woke and she would just rollover...if your son eats good dinner and you know he isnt hungry, i wouldnt give him a bottle in the middle of the night...i would let him scream, he will eventually fall asleep

Give him a bottle of water. He might drink it the first night and maybe half the second night but then he will realize waking up for water is not worth it!

My son is the same way he is 10 months and I'm now doing the CIO, for I know he isn't hurting or hungry it hurts to let him cry but he his crying is slowly diminishing nightly it started at almost 2 hours and now to maybe 5 minutes. So hang in there
