1 year old won't sleep the night
« on: February 02, 2008, 02:55:42 am »
Our 1 year old has never slept the night. She is up 3 or 4 times a night. When we have tried the "cry it out" method, she has vomited as she gets so upset. We don't know what to do.. Please help.

Have you read Tracy's book?  I suggest you read some of the FAQ's on the Sleep board, especially about the pickup/putdown technique, also on the EASY board about finding the right routine for your baby and how day and night sleep are co-dependent.

The BW philosophy does not endorse crying it out.  It is a more gentle approach, where you stay with your baby as long as she is crying and help her settle herself in the bed.  She may cry, but you don't leave her alone.

Do read up on the FAQ's, and come back and post how your days go in the EASY board...I'm sure you'll get lots of help.

HUGS could you post your routine? How does she sleep for naps? Does she fall asleep on her own?
I am also going to move this over to the Toddler Sleep board i think you will get alot of help their.
