So my almost 11m son is a terrible sleeper. All the bad habits, we do them. He still has to be rocked to sleep, naps included, he won't nap on his crib during the day it has to be my arms. If I put him on his crib we will be up 15 min later. At night he doesn't mind the crib but he still won't sleep through the night. He will wake up several times and I end up putting him in bed with me but even then he's such a restless sleeper, tossing and turning. What can I do?

@mskandice my son cries a lot too but we've had trouble putting him to sleep and I've let him cry it out (I was still rocking him) he finally gave in and fell asleep but once I put him in his crib he started whimpering and then out of nowhere he woke up hardcover crying. It took us about 30 min trying to calm him down. This happened twice, same thing.

Everyone and every baby is different gotta do what u feel comfy with. My son was not a crier so the same method I used on him made my daughter into a cry it out because she just cries a lot anyway.

You could try the no cry sleep solution first then. But it doesn't work for everyone

Thanks @mskandice @cassandra.p @skylinrainwater I will definitely find a sleep training method that works for us. I don't really like the cry it out method tbh

Both @cassandra.p and @skylinrainwater are correct. Sleep training has 2 to 3 core pricipals then u can tweek it. Make sure hes fed, comfy and dry before bed and naps. He has to cry it out just has to. If its nap time like 10 a to 12noon he must be in crib even if hes crying in it bc its nap time.

Sleep train!!!There are great tools online, most plans work if u stick to them. I got my 4 month old sleep trained at 2 months she also sleeps in her own room, no night lights from 8p to 7a every night. It can take up to 2 weeks to see the change dont give in stick to the plan, he will cry a lot.

Grab a sleep training book and stick to it. There's 2-3 core ideas out there.

Try to break him of that habit. Put him down for a nap, in his crib and if he wakes up in 15 minutes then let him cry it out. If you know he's just wanting to be held then there's no need for you to pick him up. He'll probably cry a lot for awhile wanting you to pick him up but don't give in. I would also see about calming music, a nice bath with lavender Johnson's baby soap and lotion, a bottle with some baby rice in it to get him relaxed.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

Sleep Training ! So I went ahead and hired the sleep consultant. I was at a loss with how poor Davis's sleep was, and because I was suffering from PPD, the sleep deprivation was making me not be able to cope with daily life. Davis had no idea how to put himself to sleep whatsoever.. I would nurse him to sleep and then rock him and then carefully put him down in his crib fast asleep. If he woke up when I put him down I would have to repeat the process.. Sometimes it took 2 hours to get him back to sleep. On top of that he is such a light sleeper so ANY tiny sound would wake him up and because the only way he knew how to sleep was to be nursed or rocked then that's what he would expect. We tried bed sharing and his sleep and mine was even worse.. I just didn't know what to do anymore. I went to a seminar on baby and toddler sleep and I decided to take the leap and the cost ($480) to hire the sleep consultant. The first night and day was so so hard.. He cried a lot and because it's not the CIO method, I was there beside him the whole time patting his back and rubbing his belly, giving him kisses and picking him up for some cuddles (which I think made it worse). After that first awful night and day.. He has already begun to sleep through the night and nap for 1.5 hours + during the day.. He actually has gone down for naps now without crying and falling asleep in under 10 minutes. He slept 11 hours the past two nights in a row.. I honestly can't believe the difference especially in him ! He has been so happy, calm and not fussy like he was before throughout the day. I'm still not sleeping as well because I'm constantly staring at the monitor but I'm hoping in time I'll feel more comfortable with him in his crib and on his tummy (I hate it so much).

4 month sleep regression. My son wakes up like a newborn now. He won't sleep until midnight then last night he woke up at 2 am 5 am and 930. He went back to sleep all times but because I gave him a bottle because I thought he was hungry. Tonight it was time for him to eat after his bath so I gave him his milk and Layed him in his crib to sleep because I thought he was out for the night. Not even 20 minutes later he is awake in his crib. He's quiet so I'll wait and see if he falls back asleep. Did any of your babies do this? Is this a thing? I'm hoping it won't last long. Mind you forgetting to mention he did sleep through the night since 2 and a half months.

So my doctor says I have to start putting the baby in his crib at night and letting him cry it out when he wakes for a bottle. She says he should be sleeping 10-12 hours at a time by now (he only sleeps about 2-3 hours before he wakes wanting a bottle or pacifier). She swears if we do this it won't take more than 3 nights for him to adjust and start sleeping better. She says that he should only get 1-2 naps a day too and we should lay him down at night as soon as he starts showing signs of being sleepy like rubbing his eyes, not waiting until he's exhausted. - I just don't know if I can do it, letting him cry at night.. I just don't know. Has anyone else done this?
