18-month-old won't sleep through the night
« on: March 01, 2006, 20:14:09 pm »
My 18-month-old girl absolutely will not sleep through the night but on rare occasions.  I have tried sooo much to get her to sleep but nothing works consistently.  She will cry and carry on for over and hour until i finally give in and get her out of her crib and lay with her,downstairs on the couch cushions on the floor. 
I have two other children ages 6 years and 3 months, and i am so exhausted that i have to get some sleep!!!
I have tried the nap routine, and she will normally take a nap if we are home around 1pm-3pm, and i put her down to bed at 8pm.  She wakes up at 12:30 or 1am and has such a hard time settling back down.  She is cutting four incisors, and has been for months.  I have tried tylenol before bed, and no help.  She shares a room with my 6 yr old daughter who is a great sound sleeper.  I have tried giving her more food, and i am completly at my whits end as to how to get her to sleep better, and everyone in my household is too.  Please help!!!
