Hi Dubai friend )

You know my baby who is 7 months old does not sleep thru the night yet. Worse she hasn' t taken bottle or pacifier so she wants to nurse the whole night. I am at my wits end too because of the no sleep and hectic day.

I too wanted to try the cry it out method but something tells me its wrong. I wonder how would I feel when I am old, helpless, dependent on someone for my needs and no one answers my cry of help??

I know many are going to disagree with me here but I have interacted with ladies who were left to CIO by their moms when they were young and they say that to this day they have this fear of darkness etc. So I tell myself each night, this phase is temporary. It' s not going to last forever. If my baby needs me in the nights, then I will be there for her.

I know for a fact that once she is older, she will not want this. Try to enjoy this close bond while it lasts. Have you tried co-sleeping? My baby hates a dirty diaper so I change it once in the middle of the night too. Sorry I know I am not offering you much help, but know tat you are not alone. But this will pass too.

Hi Dks,

Did you try letting him cry it out in the night? Did you try not giving him milk in the night?

Please, please try it...your baby is 9 months old now. If he is well fed at night, has a clean diaper, is well otherwise etc...even if he cries a little bit at night before going to sleep, don' t worry. It will be good for him in the long run to be able to sleep on his own.

The first 2-3 nights will be difficult...but believe me it will be better after that.

Anyways, the decision rests with you...every time you pick the baby up at night, you are reinforcing his behavior. It is like this - if you keep offering a chocolate to a child in the night, he' ll keep waking up to eat it. The moment you stop giving the chocolate, he will protest against it, but in a couple of days will get used to the fact.

take care...

Subject:  21 months old and still wakes up 7 times.



My daughter is 21 months old now and still gets up 7-8 times at night. I have got used to it . But it is very disturbing. It has started affecting my memory because for the past 21 months I have not slept soundly at night. I have started forgeting things and it is very disturbing. Now I have started working also. So it is all the more tedious and hectic. But if i do not give her bottle milk at night after she wakes up she will wake up in full swing and start searching for me in bed. Initially when she starts crying I give the milk bottle to her and she drinks it and falls asleep but if i do not give her milk she will wake up and start walking in search of me. Then it will be very difficult to make her sleep. She will take 20 minutes to sleep if she wakes up fully which will disturb my sleep also as if 1 time my sleep is disturbed I will not get sleep again. What is the solution.

RE:How to Develop a Sleep Routine for your Newborn
According to me this is good but then you cannot force your child to sleep as per your wish as kids as really bad in this and they have a tendency to sleep in day and get up in late night so according to me this is not the key to success, please post if i am wrong.... - Anita [View Message]
