When did your children start sleeping for longer periods of time or through the night? What is something I can do that may help this process. This momma is tired! My child typically won't sleep longer than an hour sometimes 2. I just got a white noise machine yesterday ( so far it's not working) but I know he likes the white noise sounds, it works sometimes. He likes the hair dryer most but I can't keep that going all night and the hair dryer noise on my app is so quite sounding doesn't do the job. Warm baths and lavender lotion eh hit or miss. Full tummy doesn't matter! I swaddle him, that's the only way I can put him down in bed and keep him asleep not waking right up.... Idk what else to do? Everyone is like it will get easier, well can it be easier now?! Lol 😴😴😴

When I started giving my son oatmeal in his bottles (his pedi okay since he would spit up his whole bottle) he started to sleep all through the night. And he got on a schedule and he only naps once a day for an hour or so and then I used calming bath time soap and after his bath I put on nighttime lotion that calms baby as well after I put on that lotion he's out lol. I found out my son sleeps better in just his diaper which is okay bc his room is the warmest so I don't worry about him getting cold. I have a sound machine going on all night. I'll lay him down in his bed turn on his mobile with his pacifier in and bam he's sleeping. I thought the sleepless nights would never end but they did. Just stay strong it will get easier I promise!!☺️

we started a bed time routine. when he wakes up at night, we do not tall to him, don't engage. I have him on a semi schedule during the day, including lots of play and getting out of the house. he still wakes up once, but it is more reasonable than every 2 hrs.

My son is 5 months he still don't. At most maybe 5-6 times he slept 5+ hours but not many times. But he does sleep like 3-4 hours now instead of 1-2. What I do is feed him baby food at dinner normally around 7-8 I try to keep him awake Till 9-10 despite what people say(have them on bed by 7). I give him a bottle that's warm not room temperature to help relax him and I give him a scoop of rice in his bottle. And he Sleeps till 1-1:30. Sometimes 2:30.

I give him formula at night to insure that he's getting a full 4oz. And he eats off my usually after that. So he's full but it doesn't keep him asleep. @lp1988727,

I have a routine also. And I try not to talk or engage with him as well. I've only been enforcing his crib for about a month so I think that plays a big factor. He doesn't like it and wants to be with me. Which by like 4am he ends up with me anyway cause I get to tired to keep fighting with him on sleeping in there 🙁 @concrete,

My son isn't old enough for food yet. And usually at 7 is when I get him ready for bed and give him his bottle. The longest if I'm lucky is like 2 1/2 hours but that's rare. Like last night he was up every hour. Some nights are better than others. @babyreynolds,

@missjess try putting him down later. i noticed that my son sleeps better if I hold him off till about 9 and then start his routine. he hated the crib too, so what I did was sleep with a very soft blanket and put it onto his sheet in the crib and tucked it so it wouldn't be a hazard. he only started sleeping in his crib 2-3 weeks ago. he was in his rock-n-play before.
