13 months never slept through the night!!!!!
« on: May 12, 2011, 10:44:18 am »
Hi

I have a 13 months old baby boy, who never slept through the night.
He is walking for 2 months, the is eating solids, pleanty food, so I dont think he is hungry, gaining weight, happy baby.
he is playing on his own, having 2 naps, as he is dead tired in the morning and in the afternoon as well.
We have no problem to put him to sleep, for the naps he needs a bit more help, but for the night, after he was fed, I put him to his cot, and he is falling asleep alone.
BUT he wakes up 2-3 times a night.
He slept through the night 2 times in his life.
He wakes up because he pushes himself up towards the upper end of the cot, and even I have a bumper and also I put an additional pillow behind the bumper, it still wakes him up, when his head reaches the end of the bed.
We dont use a dummy, and a pillow either.
When he wakes up, sometimes its enough when I pet his back, and say sshh, but if he falls asleep, after 10 minutes he wakes up and I have to take him out from the cot, and in my hands, he falls asleep quick and I put him back to his cot.
After 3-4 hours, same thing.
How could I solve this, as Im dreaming of a slept through night.
I was hoping by this time he would STTN without problem.... I was wrong...
Please help me

Hi.   :)  I am going to move you to the Toddler Sleep Boards, since your LO is over 1.

(((hugs)))!!!  My DS2 is 12mos and has sttn exactly 4 times.  :P  So I feel your pain.

It sounds to me like he is dependent on you holding him to get him back to sleep in the middle of the night.  You will have to teach him to go back to sleep on his own.  Here is a link which outlines the methods you could try:   http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=80750.0

Also, can you post your routine like this so we can have a look?
