Sleeping through the night?

Question

I’m wondering if sleeping through the night is something that comes naturally to some children. I’d love to hear everyone’s techniques to help their little bundles rest peacefully. Everyone does what’s best for their little family. I’m giving sleep training a try but my baby is not sleeping through the night yet. I’m tweaking here and there so the techniques feel right for my situation. Thank you all for your shares!

Answer

After 3 months of no sleep for mom, dad or baby I gave up and did sleep training. I did the Ferber let them cry for 5 minutes, check, then 10 minutes, check, then 15 etc. he cried for almost an hour the first night, but then slept through the night once he fell asleep. The second night was about 40 minutes of crying but the same result. The next two nights he was out in under 20 minutes and he’s slept through the night ever since, a few times when he was sick he got up, and I brought him a bottle, and then he went right back to sleep. It’s been so incredibly life changing I can’t believe we didn’t do it earlier.

Answer

My son sleeps in his room and wakes once in the night for a bottle. I did not sleep train him at all, and I think that he really wakes up bc he's hungry, not upset or lonely
Bedtime 7-8pm, bottle 2-3am, wake 7-8am. (Throughout my pregnancy, I woke at the same time for a midnight snack! lol)

Answer

I moved her to her own room. Literally that is it. Once she started sleeping in her crib, she never wakes up at night unless she is sick, teething, or in a growth spurt. But when she was in our room she was waking up multiple times a night and we were all miserable

Answer

I did some sleep training. I didn’t do cry it out, honestly I don’t see it working for my son, he’s very sensitive to stimulation and I worked a lot on just getting him in the wind down. I have done something when he decided he didn’t want to sleep when I continuously lay him back down while I soothe him, and he cries during that, but he cries more when I pick him up, so. He sleeps the night if he’s not sick or teething. Full disclosure I transfer him to our bed at 10:00, we share a large double room, my boyfriend doesn’t want him sleeping in his crib alone all night he thinks it’s sad. Since he doesn’t wake during or after the transfer I’m ok with it. If I wanted him to do the whole night in his crib he’s probably wake and I’d have to do the whole lay him back down thing but he’d probably get it after a few nights.

Answer

so, it took a little doing, but my almost 14 month old daughter sleeps through the night now. The only thing that worked for her was the "cry it out" method. I tried other things, like comforting her by rubbing her back, but if I go into her room and don't nurse her, it makes her more upset. Good luck!
