changing babies sleep patterns
How do we get our 6 month old baby to nap properly and to sleep through the night?
We are going insane, please help!! Sleep is our problem. Here is the situation. Our 6 month old son has a very strange sleep pattern. Naps…We have to rock him to sleep. Then we lay him in the crib and he sleeps for 30 min or less. He will not sleep longer. He naps this way 4-5 times a day. Then at night…has to be rocked to sleep. Then he is up every 1&1/2 to 2 hours to nurse. All night. And sometimes when he wakes up to eat, he stays up for a couple of hours.
He is eating rice cereal two times a day and nursing the rest of the time. One meal of cereal is just before bed (makes no difference). He is teething, but tylenol does not seem to change his sleeping pattern.
How do we get him to sleep longer at nap time?
How do we get him to sleep through the night!?
Please note: I do not agree with the “crying it out” method so please do not forward advice regarding that.
Thanks for suggestions!!
This happened to my wife and I with our daughter. She got so used to being held while sleeping, that finally we just propped the bottle up with a pillow or blanket, and let her sleep. After a week, everything was perfect.
