I'm trying to get my 3yr old to sleep through the night. I tried the Facebook page, sleepy little, but I can't get any to respond to my post. I have the huckleberry app, but it only tracks her sleep unless I pay for the extras. Idk how much more of this I can take. She wakes up multiple times a night. No matter if she sleeps with us or in her bed she wakes up. I've been trying to get her to sleep in her bed and now she wakes up even more. I need some advice on what to do.

@braindeadmama no. I've tried fans and white noise machines. She hated both

She probably can’t self soothe honestly

What about a security blanket. Both my 4 yr and 16 month old needs theirs or won't sleep long. If at all.

@braindeadmama she can't. I just don't know how to get her to.

@autism.mommy she doesn't have anything that she attached to like that.

Well, they say the cry it out method will help teach them to self soothe. I don’t personally agree with full on letting them cry it out

@braindeadmama it feels like that's my last option. But I can't start it until school's out. I can't keep the other two up all night.

@tiredmom, yeah you could do a soft cry it out. Like let her fuss for five to ten minutes and then go calm her down

@braindeadmama I'll try that. Thank you!!

You’re welcome! If she continues after a week to keep crying after the five to ten minute mark i would just slowly back up the time. Like one week make it 11 minutes, the next week 12 minutes. Hopefully by then she is learning how to self soothe though
