Help! I need more sleep...
My 19 month old son has never been a good sleeper. He has only slept through the night once when he was 6 months old. Recantly I give him his bottle and he feeds himself in his cot then goes to sleep for 4-5 hours then wakes for his night feed and back to sleep but wakes up 2 hours later then 2 hours after that his been doing this the past 4 nights. What can I do to make him sleep longer for me? Please help!

My Dr has been telling me for the past 6 months to just let my child fuss. She's 13 months and doesn't sleep well. But what all the sleep consultants say is don't use bottles as way to put baby to sleep. I nurse my daughter back to sleep when she wakes in the middle of the night. I'm in the same boat as you. So ready to sleep through the night!!!! Last week she teased me and slept 5-6 hrs in a row. But since Fri she's been back up 3-4 hrs. My husband works swing shifts so I think that doesn't help anything. I know if I just left her to cry, she probably would eventually get the hint but I think its just mean.

Do not go back in their room!!! And no bottles or milk at night at this age, can cause teeth to rot. If my daughter woke up before 9am I wouldn't go in her room until 9am. 75% of the time she would fall back asleep and sleep til 10am ?
I did the cry it out method at 8 months old, it wasn't easy but it only took about two weeks to get her to sleep through the night (sometimes she'd wake up at 1am to nurse). Once I slowly took away night feedings she slept 8pm-10am. She started napping in her crib at same time.
