Still having sleep troubles

My 13 months old has always been having trouble with sleeping and yet she wakes up every 1-2 hours during the night crying or having milk, any suggestions how I can help her sleep through the night? She is a good eater and never goes to sleep hungry and is super active during the day

Hey, I am right there with you, like exact same thing. Let me know if you find anything that helps 😅

Same here!!

Have you sleep trained her? When she starts crying do you go in immediately or give her 10-15 min to go back to sleep on her own?

Same here. It’s gotten worse with falling back to sleep. And even after that she’s so restless and keeps moving or will sit up. Don’t know what to do, I haven’t sleep trained her

Was at the same place 3 months ago. My baby was 11 months and she used to wake up between 2 and 4 am to have milk. I had to rock her to sleep. My life changed when I listen to a children psychologist’s podcast who said that from 10 months a healthy baby has no reason to not sleep all night long. They don’t need to take milk or anything. As their parents we have to teach them how to sleep. In 2 weeks, it was ok for my baby. First you need to teach them how to sleep by themselves (autonomously). I start by start a routine : she eats, then she take a bath, then I read a short book, then I give her the last bottle of milk and then hug her and put her on the crib. During almost 1 week I use to stay by herself until she fall asleep. Then the hard part came. The rule is simple : 5-10-15. It’s really hard and painful but trust me it works! You do the exact same routine but you don’t stay in the room. As soon as she’s in the crib you leave the room. She will cry - a lot ! You don’t go into

The room until 5 min. After 5min you go back, you calm her down by explaining that you are next door and that you have to sleep. You have to smile so that she is reassured. Then you leave 10 min, you come back if she still cries. And then you let 15min. Normally she will fall asleep before the 15 min. If not go every 15min. After 3 days there will be almost no more crying. In conclusion you need to teach your baby how to fall asleep autonomously and then let her cry. It’s horrible honestly but it’s good for them, they need to learn.

Oh and, no more milk during the night. At the beginning you give water.

The result is here: now she just fall alseep by herself in her crib at 7pm and sleep all night long until 6:45-7am.

Thanks Doraine, I’ll give it a try. I actually did sleep trained her twice first time around three months old and the second time around 9 months, but they only lasted for few weeks since sleep regression hit both times 🫠

In my case, she had sleep regression twice but I do the same 5-10-15 after checking that everything is ok. But for sure, I won’t give her any milk.

Got it, thanks 😊
