11 month old not sleeping.

Mine is 2 and still doesn't sleep through the night most nights

7 months. We sleep trained her because i was about to lose my damn mind and it was affecting me at work

how did you sleep train

we've been sleep training since 6mo and it's still no help

we started with set wake up and set bedtime 7:30 and gradually started dropping the night feeds. She slept straight through at 8mo but recently from about 10mo has started waking between 2 and 5 for a bottle

Mine has never been a good sleeper, even as a newborn. It’s been a long 7 months with him but I finally sleep trained him a few weeks ago and he sleeps through the night now. Hes been waking up due to teething pains but I haven’t nursed him to sleep or done a night feed since! Ive been doing sleep training tactics for months hoping he would get it by himself but it was so much work for no result so we did the Ferber method without picking him up and he got it after one night. He never did get the hang of drowsy but awake (it made him so mad when I’d set him down) so it’s just completely awake now.

Mine slept through the night almost from the start I did the cry it out method, make sure he's got a full tummy, and a sippy cup beside him so if he wakes up during the night he has something to drink. He knows if he needs me that I'll be in my bedroom and all he has to do is come crawl beside me, most times I will wake up to find him sitting in his bedroom playing with his toys quietly. Sometimes he opens my bedroom door and says mommy is asleep and closes it back. He's almost 3 very independent.

i wanna say it’s considered Ferber method but can’t remember but we would put her down in the crib awake and she would cry so we would go in after 5 mins of crying, pick her up and try to get her to settle within 1 minute and set her back down. The next time we would come back in after 7 mins of crying and try to settle her within 1 min and put her back down, increasing by 2-3 mins each time! By the third night she was going down within 5 mins! She sometimes does still cry a bit when first laid down but she is really good now about laying down within 2-5 mins.

My two kids have been soo different. But since both breastfed, got hubby to go in for a week and put them back to sleep. I would take over if it went in too long and they wanted to feed, but after a few days, they got used to dad coming in without food and stopped waking as much. Was way earlier with baby one. Baby two has been hard and we still give in to bed sharing some nights.

My daughter is 3 soon and doesn’t sleep though the night, they are all different.

It’s very normal actually. Waking through the night is developmentally normal. My two year doesn’t sleep through the night still.

My daughter is 2 in jan and still don’t sleep through the night and she’s up at 5am every morning.
Night wakings are developmentally normal up to 3 years, sometimes even later.

Cry it out and Ferber method don’t teach them how to sleep through the night (as is not something you can teach), they just learn not to signal that they’re awake as they learn no one is coming so it’s useless to cry. They don’t only have physical needs (wet nappy, hungry/thirsty) but they all have emotional needs and if they wake up during the night and need help to fall back asleep, having them to “learn how self soothe” (which is not something they can do, as that part of the brain who let us self soothe is not fully developed until mid 20s) is not responding to their needs.

If you are desperate, which it sounds like you might be, or certainly getting there, if she hasn’t slept through yet, the chances are she won’t of her own accord unless you sleep train her.

As you can see on this thread, sleep training is very polarised, some parents are very against it and I can totally understand why. However if your mental health is really suffering from long term sleep deprivation, this will have a significantly worse impact on the emotional health of your child than a bout of sleep training will. You are not a robot and even if you think you are keeping it together in front of your child, they will sense your low mood and anxiety that comes with long term sleep deprivation, and this is on the daily.

This is why we sleep trained our 11 month old and within a week he was sleeping through the night. He is happier than ever, and so am I. It is without a doubt helped us so much.

Our daughter slept through from around 6 months. I find the less tired she is the better she sleeps, she was having 2-3 naps at 1 year old. We started a strict routine from around 4 months old and stuck to it (we didn’t leave her to cry though, it was more about the timings and repetition). Also don’t give her too much food just before bedtime so she has time to digest. We serve supper around 4.30pm ish and bedtime is around 6.30pm. At 1 year old she would have a little bit of milk just before bed. She is 2 now and doesn’t have any milk. Good luck! You’ve got this 💪
