Hi ladies I’m looking for some advice my 1 year old was born 8 weeks premature ( not sure if it has something to do with it ) but my 1 year old will not sleep through the night and will wake up multiple times. Not sure what I can do to get him to sleep through. I’m due my 3rd baby in December so preferably would like him to be sleeping through before baby is here. Never had this problem with my 1st

Did you sleep train? How are you putting them to sleep? Are you I breastfeeding or bottle feeding to sleep?

Every baby is different, some won't sleep through the night until they're much much older- some will suggest sleep training, but the research into the psychological effects isn't very nice, so that would be your call! I reduced the amount of time my little one naps for so he's more tired at night but he still wakes 2/3 times and apparently that's very normal still and he's 15 months. Good luck! Xx

My son has nights with a waking here and there now and was a horrible sleeper but his sleep got progressively better since he was about 10 months and started sleeping in his own room, using a duvet and limiting his naps to 2h total and leaving a longer awake window between last nap and bedtime. Also as he started eating more. I didn't really sleep train, I still cuddle him to sleep but he can self sooth in the night unless he has some discomfort. I don't know if anything we've done helps or if it's just that he developed that way. My son was 2 weeks overdue and we still had awful sleep for 10 months and never ever slept through until he turned 1.

Sleeping through the night is developmental unfortunately and it’s completely normal for toddlers to still wake. Some people sleep train so that when they wake they don’t call out but studies show that they will still wake, even adults don’t always sleep through the night. My daughter’s sleep has got much better since she turned one and we switched to one nap 11-1. I usually find that the more exercise and time outside she gets the better she will sleep but she does usually still wake once in the night for a quick feed
