Hi,

I have been going through some of the messages on this board on mothers you have problems with kids not sleeping.

My son is six and a half month old sleeps fairly well at night (gets up once, sometimes). He would get up 2-3 times, sometimes more... It changed when I started giving him suji kheer or rawa kheer at night.

With a full stomach a baby sleeps pretty well. Another thing my doc told me to do, which I havent succeeded in doing is to give the baby water when he or she gets up.

She said that it will cry for a day or two and then know that it is not getting the milk. They then sleep through the night.

I havent been successful since I do not like my baby crying at night. I' d rather feed him. This can be of concern though when they have teeth. A friend of mine actually had to do root canal for her 4-year old because the baby would feed at night.

Well.... sigh, so many things to remember. Do try this. The ideal time to give a baby her/his dinner is between 8-9 pm. They can then sleep fitfully until 5 am.

All the best, moms!
