Bailey's almost 9 months old and still not sleeping through the night! She's only up once a night, but, it still interrupts the already little sleep that John & I get! I think 2nd kids are worse too...Brady didn't sleep through the night until he was 1, and I don't remember that bothering us as much as it's bothering us now...or maybe we just don't remember it! As you new parents know, the sleep deprevation can really make you crazy! What makes it even worse, is when other new parents tell you that their baby has slept through the night since they were like 2 weeks old! UGH! Another reason why this is so hard for us, is because she did sleep through the night when she was younger, but, that bliss came to a screeching halt a few months ago. Plus, I'm 4 years older than I was when I had Brady...I could give you a whole list of reasons why her not sleeping is driving me crazy! HAHA!
HELP! How do I get her to sleep through the night?

My little one is 2 and still doesn't sleep through the night! I feel your pain! Recently, she has been sleeping all night. One of my friends gave her a sound machine, it plays different sounds, the ocean waves, rain forest, etc etc. Ever since then she's been sleeping through the night 9 out of 10 times. She needs to be stimulated, even in sleep. Maybe this will work for you!
ReplyDeleteIs she taking too many or too long of naps during the day? What time does she go to sleep? Maybe try putting her to sleep a little later.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, I am in the same situation. I have a 2 year old and a 9 month old. They both share a room. My 9 mth old still is not sleeping through the night. I am also at my whits end. The doctor keeps telling me to let her cry herself to sleep ( it takes about 3 days). The problem is I tried and all she does is cry and cry. If I let her cry my 2 yr old eventually wakes up and then I am stuck with 2 kids up in the middle of the night. I need help too!
ReplyDeleteIs she teething? If she is...try some tylenol before she goes to bed and a little oragel...might help.
ReplyDeleteDo you breastfeed or bottle feed? My son was a preemie and was verrry good about sleeping and had been sleeping through the night (up until teething seriously started) since he was about a month old. But the nights that he did wake up, I would put a scoop of rice cereal from gerber in his bottle. That way, it'd coat his stomach and that would make him sleep through the night ! Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteWhen my 3 kids were little and up during the night, I made sure it remained dark, quiet, etc. If you get up with them and entertain them, they think it's play time and will want more. It was also suggested to me to only change their diapers if they really need it. This always wakes them up a bit. I followed this approach and we would be up and back asleep in 20 mins, and soon they slept through the night. My husband didn't always follow it and he would be up for hours at times. Just keep the night stuff simple, low key and the kids find they are not missing much and sleep straight through. Missing sleep is no fun for grown ups - we need nap time more then them! good luck!
ReplyDeleteI used to put cereal in my sons bottle before bedtime. The cereal allowed him to sleep longer because it was more satisfying than just breast milk/formula.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 kids and when each was a baby I used to put the cereal in their last bottle before they were put to bed. Also when my daughter was in her crib (she is 3 now) I had one of those musical toys that attach to the side of the crib and when she would wake up in the middle of the night she would kick around and turn the thing on and that would sooth her back to sleep. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is 5 !/2 months and doeswn't sleep through the night either. Sometimes its 2x oper night she gets up. I feed her and she goes back to sleep. My doctor tells me to let her cry but if she takes the bottle, shes hungry. My 3 year old was sleeping throuh the night at 2 months. I do feed her the rice cereal, oatmeal or baby food before bedtime thinking it would help but no! I'm out of suggestions as well.
ReplyDeleteEvery child is different. Be thankful she is not walking into your bed... or maybe she is. She may need to actually go to bed 30 minutes earlier to get her deeper into a sleep cycle. She may need more food, or like the other said, more or less napping. good luck
ReplyDeleteFunny, my oldest daughter now 18, did the same exact thing, she was about 8 to 9 months old at the time also. I finally gave her a pacifier and it worked. My other two (son and daughter) wouldn't have anything to do with it. My son, I use to put him in his wind up swing and out he went, my youngest daughter, a bottle of water and she was fine.
ReplyDeleteGood luck.
