Tricks to having your child sleep longer than an hour. My son will sleep for an hour 2 the most and wake up. After…

If it's a night. If my baby girl is extremely fussy, I give her a bath && rub her down with the Johnson && Johnson night time lavender lotion (the purple one). That lotion is the truth. I can't speak for anyone else, but it definitely keeps my baby asleep longer than when I don't use it. She's two months && only wakes up once through the night. I usually wake her to change && feed her, but she stays asleep. Some nights I just turn the tv off, play soft lullaby music, && rock her to sleep. It works. Tried it with my 6m old niece this pass weekend. Worked like a charm. My sister is now doing it && it helps. Don't beat yourself up. Every child is different. Just find what works for you. Nap time during the day, I have to rock her a little longer && not put her down until she's completely asleep. But she's starting to fall asleep on her own a lot more during the day. @missjess,

My son hates his crib. I use the lavender lotion, I have s white noise machine I leave on all night for him, he just wants to be with me and he has to learn he needs to sleep in his crib but regardless of what I do he's up every 1-2 hours 😕@lovelybabybump27, I

I'm sorry, I wish I lived closer I would help. My baby is the same way, he sleeps most the day but if I try to sleep he's instantly awake.I found my best bet is to nurse him and wait till he's really asleep and put him in the napper in his playpen. It buys me 5mins to an hour or so if I'm lucky (half the time he realizes and wakes up).He hates swaddling and like yours he prefers being attached to me which makes it difficult to sleep soundly and comfortably. Does your son have a swing? That's the only way I got my first son to sleep. this one goes in it for a few mins and he's done, he also hates the Momaroo I bought and the expensive movement features of his playpen :( My friend gave me a cuddle bug and that saves me during the day because he will nap in that most of the time without issue. When he does I try to cat nap on the couch but it's short lived in my house with my teenager.

@missjess, you could also try the co sleeper thingy that you put in the bed. I know a couple mommies that use it.

He won't sleep in his swing. He doesn't stay in there to long before he's starts crying. I have to do the same thing nurse him make sure he's asleep and put him down. During the day he'll sit in his boppy pillow usually and that's when I can clean up and get a shower etc. but he starts to fuss after not long. The only other place he will really sleep is his car seat after a walk or car ride but taking him out he wakes up so I usually just keep him in there till he wakes up if I have stuff to do. Ugh it's tiring fit sure I haven't slept yet @angelao777,

He has to be right with me in bed or he has a fit @zoeysmom28,

@missjess, my baby sleeps with me too. She was a clinger. I wait until she's dead sleep then push her over. But you have to find what works. I used to give my baby one of my shirts. Just for the scent it worked

Do you sleep with a nightlight? Because crazy as it sounds.. I was using our white noise machine with the little night light on it all night since he was born and would wake up once or twice. I decided one night to change it up. After his bath, I would already have the light off, and would just keep my light off my phone on with a soft lullaby and feed him and change him. Then once he fell asleep I turned the light on my phone off, the white noise off, and would keep the door cracked for the TINIEST bit of light. He has slept through the night since that day. The white noise all night could probably be waking him up, or if you have a light on when they open their eyes in the night they can see it and know they are awake. If they open their eyes in the dark they usually think they are probably still sleeping. That's what worked for me.

I play this for when i feed him and lotion him up and stuff after his bath in the dark with a little light. He falls asleep with minutes to this I swear!

You might be just hitting the 4 month regression. If u r just stick with your normal routine and the baby will eventually get over it. My sons 4 month regression lasted 3 weeks and it was torture but before you know it its over. Good luck!

I sleep with my tv on. I never use too but after my brother died I was freaked out in the dark so it helps 😕 but I don't think that bothers him to be honest. And same for the white noise because I use to run my hair dryer before I got this machine and having my hair dryer on kept him asleep. When I turned it off he'd sometimes wake up so that's why I just leave the white noise machine on. @mamatocam8516xo, and I was thinking that too @dylansmom, because he's been kind of difficult lately not that he usually isn't but it just seems like he is more. I've been trying my best to enforce him sleeping in his crib till I just am to tired to anymore.

Yea just stick with the crib routine as much as u can he eventually will stay in all night. It prob is a regression if hes a bit more fussy
