My boy will be one in a couple of days and his sleeping habits are getting worse. He goes to bed at 8 o clock awake and happy, goes off to sleep on his own no problem. He normally would sleep until five am but recently he has been waking at one, two, three etc. Now for the last couple of weeks, he is waking every couple of hours, calling for me or his dad and not settling until we are with him. If we leave his room he jumps up and cries after us. It takes ages to settle him. We are exhausted as we have to get up early for work and have not had a full night sleep since he was born. any help would be apprecited.
Hi there i know exactly how you feel i was the same 2 years ago with my twins they didnt sleep through the night until they were 13months the sleep deprevation is the worst what we ended up doing was as they were both still in the cotbeds we let them cry it out. I know to some people it sounds awful but it worked for us it took just 5 nights of the crying sometimes they would go on for nearly an hour and only for my husband stopping me going in they would probably still be up through the night but thankfully since that week 2years ago they go to bed at 8 and sleep till 7. The first night that they slept through was gr8 it was like being given 1million pounds! You should give it ago remember to stick to your guns!
yeah, i had the same problem too and did the same thing as Crazymama. i felt really guilty not going in but it did work, within a couple of nights they slept till morning no probs.
