We lasted for several months but when our son was like 8 and a half months old and was waking up every hour to 2 hours we just couldn't take it and we used the self soothing method from a lifesaving book called "Every child can learn to sleep". It's not available for sale cause it is our of print and it's very difficult to find but there are a few similar books. <br />My wife wrote an article about our experiences with it: <a href="http://kids-nook.com/every-child-can-learn-to-sleep/" rel="nofollow">Every child can learn to sleep</a>. <br />Kids Nookhttp://kids-nook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244550196007110818.post-55646807342051819882014-08-05T21:08:54.745-04:002014-08-05T21:08:54.745-04:00Amen to that!Amen to that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244550196007110818.post-15641300464866510772014-05-23T16:25:08.603-04:002014-05-23T16:25:08.603-04:00At around that same age my little one was going th...At around that same age my little one was going through the same issue, out of luck i noticed that the days in which his break between bottle and bed was longer he would sleep the night. I found that not only would he be hungrier from the workout his stomach had whilst he slept, there was also no way that i'd be able to just put him back to sleep... I hope that helps!!! <br />Hayley Blake, yes it's just a stage as long as you don't break habits... When they learn to move they even do it in their sleep, but where a lot of people go wrong is getting up and almost acting like it's a normal day (in the middle of the night) keep lights dim, no toys, everything just soft and mellow as if it's a dream including your voice and eventually they get back into routine... unfortunately i still find my little one in all sorts of positions hehehehe but he has resumed his sleeping pattern, they will go in and out of sleeping routines throughout toddlerhood, due to teething, illnesses, temperature and excitement... I personally never had the heart to just leave him crying himself to sleep, but on those really difficult days i would leave him 5 mins at a time (if he was upset) and then return and remind him that it's time to sleep... even if it took a few tries!!! eventually when he was quiet, i'd give him 15 mins and go back to lay him properly, by then he'd be asleep :)<br /><br />Nikki, i hope you are doing well, i see your post is a few months old and you probably already moved on from that problem, but if not, then my suggestion would be that you place her back into her room and stick with it, make sure temperature is good, nightlight etc but a really good way to wean her in is to spend 30 mins in that room with her before bed, going through the sort of bed time routine you want as she ages, story, cuddles, songs, kisses and cuddles.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01143102827421294199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244550196007110818.post-346565576670506382014-02-24T15:33:14.381-05:002014-02-24T15:33:14.381-05:00please tell me they get out of this stage. i have ...please tell me they get out of this stage. i have had an amazing sleeper from 10.30pm-7am every night. suddenley he is waking every 1-2 hours and playing. he is not even crying. we find him in all kinds of positions (only cries when gets his head stuck in the cot bars). please please tell me they get over this. did you find anything to help? i know this is an old entry. but desperate sleep deprived parent here! though he doesnt cry his 'playing' wakes is up over and over.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06125636026560995909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244550196007110818.post-12469080922496391472014-02-05T08:18:16.717-05:002014-02-05T08:18:16.717-05:00I have been going through a hard time trying to fi...I have been going through a hard time trying to figure out how to get my kid to sleep through the night since he has been suddenly waking up every hour.

So at 11 weeks we moved her into her own room and we've not had a full night's sleep since. We have since moved her back into our room thinking this was the problem, however she's still waking anytime from 1AM onwards. Tonight I got up a total of 17 times to replace her dummy, I've now given up and we're both downstairs in front of Baby TV. I don't want her to keep her Daddy awake as he works long hours. I can't function properly anymore...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292124846647216151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244550196007110818.post-1036657698592970722013-10-01T11:56:31.898-04:002013-10-01T11:56:31.898-04:00It is so soothing to know I AM NOT ALONE!!

My little one (who is now 29 mths!) was a star sleeper, I am now expecting again and really nervous about how this one will sleep! <br /><br />I don't really have any suggestions apart from I just read your other post about you started solids at 4 months - did she start waking when you started this? maybe that (randomly) has something to do with it! Also, is she still sleeping in your room? I moved our little one to her own room at 10 weeks and boy did we sleep SO MUCH BETTER and a week later she started sleeping 12-13 hours per night and hasn't stopped! (apart from the odd 'teething' nights or sickness nights) babies can be so noisey can't they! I remember Eden kicking her legs, snorting and grunting, I am such a light sleeper thats when we decided she had to go into her own room! <br /><br />Good luck, keep us informed on how it goes, I am sure you will find something that works for you all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244550196007110818.post-24530361085545958242012-07-29T10:30:06.240-04:002012-07-29T10:30:06.240-04:00When we put baby girl in her own room at 3 months,...When we put baby girl in her own room at 3 months, that's when we ALL started sleeping peacefully again. So, if she's not in her own room, maybe try that....<br /><br />AT 23 months, old, we STILL have rough nights. Just when you think you've got things down and figured out, something changes. It's a constant learning process. <br /><br />Does she have a lovey? Our little one is super attached to a stuffed lamb. Loving on it is how she soothes her self back to sleep. Plus, Lamby goes EVERYWHERE with us and is with her at ALL times.<br /><br />I agree with other posts....maybe try doing your night routine a tad earlier. <br /><br />I know it's hard and gets frustrating. But, parents are resilient and it's amazing how well we can function on less sleep than we're ever used to getting. Hang in there. Tell yourself, "It's not going to be like this forever..." You'll get through this and so will she!!!!!Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115099368329245233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244550196007110818.post-70551608282718382742012-07-27T23:17:29.041-04:002012-07-27T23:17:29.041-04:00maybe try cereal in her bedtime bottle?maybe try cereal in her bedtime bottle?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244550196007110818.post-58104674102554205912012-07-27T10:03:36.505-04:002012-07-27T10:03:36.505-04:00ahhh the dreaded 5 month sleep regression! that wa...ahhh the dreaded 5 month sleep regression! that was one of the roughest parts of my daughters early life! (she is now 17 months) rest assured, it will pass! it usually only lasts about 2-3 weeks, (if your me, it lasts over a month though) just make sure you keep her on the same schedule and routine! they say it happens because babies at that age are able to process their days, so they think about the days events, and their new ability to move around so much that they just dont sleep. after reading that, i tried my hardest to make our daughters day as borring as humanly possible, thinking that if she didnt have much to think about, she would sleep. it didnt work and my lack of movement that day, just caused me to be even more tired and irritated when she woke me up 5 times a night! but, it passes! and she went right back to sleeping like a champ. so just hang in there and possibly invest in a reusable-screw on lid-coffee cup ;)Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244550196007110818.post-71527280967461256642012-07-26T22:27:56.515-04:002012-07-26T22:27:56.515-04:00out some cereal in that bottle :)out some cereal in that bottle :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1244550196007110818.post-59987933456618647082012-07-26T14:35:34.475-04:002012-07-26T14:35:34.475-04:00I hear ya girl!

It's not a strict CIO book either, if your baby needs fed at night or needs anything, the author suggests meeting that need. So it's not heartless by any means. We moved my daughters bedtime up and it was like magic.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490257851537374905noreply@blogger.com
