Anyone else’s toddler still wake up at night?

Question

I’ve always been of the “no sleep training” belief system but maybe I’m just an idiot 😂my 18 month old still wakes up at least once a night, not even for milk most of the time, but for gas, wanting to be rocked, etc. Is it time to sleep train finally or is this still happening to other December babies?

Answer

My daughter still wakes up 1-3 times every night. We tried sleep training around 4 months and again at 6 months but she just cried until she got sick, even after several nights. We just figure she will grow out of it at this point. Our friends struggled with their daughter. Then at 22 months she just started sleeping in her own bed and through the night. It was like a switch was flipped. Here's to hoping.

Answer

I just weaned my daughter.. I don’t have to go into her room but she wakes up randomly and will cry and sit up a few times a night. She’ll put herself back to sleep though typically unless she’s sick. Meanwhile I can’t fall back asleep and am stuck awake from it for an hour or two.

Answer

You can still sleep train!! Our girl has slept 11-13 hours straight since 5 months old. It is so worth it. We are better parents for it 🤪 we didn’t do cry it out. There’s much better options out there

Answer

Mine wakes up anywhere from 1-4 times. We bedshare and just roll with it. Her needs are valid just like mine are, so I see no need to deprive her of milk or comfort. 😊

Answer

I just sleep trained my daughter two weeks ago. I had been putting it off because I just didn’t want to put her through that. She was still waking up 1-3 times at night just to be rocked back to sleep. But I finally got the courage to let her cry it out and I was amazed at how well she did! She only cried for 20 mins and went to sleep on her own. Then she woke up once and only cried for 5 mins and put herself back to sleep. (Side note: she figured out how to climb out of her crib so I had to get a sleep sack for her) since I sleep trained her she only wakes up for a minute and goes back to sleep! Anyways I hope this helps and you just have to do what you think is right when you feel ready ❤️

Answer

We had a year of waking up to 3/4 times a night, we felt like there was no end to it and the cry it out while it did improve it didn’t really help a lot and was just stressful. 
But then he just started to sleep all of a sudden. Started feeding him an bowl of weetabix just after his bath before bed and this really helped, then we gradually weaned him
Off this and now we do milk about an hour before bed and then it’s 11 hours every night, praise the lord!!! They will get there, unfortunately it seems they just sleep when they are ready and not before and every child is different but that’s what helped us anyways!

Answer

She’s still up every TWO hours

Answer

I just weaned my 18 month old from consistently waking up for a full bottle every night to go back to sleep. We started by cutting 2 ounces each week until she realized it wasn’t worth it. Once we cut out the bottle completely, when she did wake up (like sitting up in crib) I would go in and sit right beside her crib and rubbed her back to go back to sleep. Once I did that for a few nights she was able to completely self sooth! 
She now sleeps 7p-7a and a 2-2.5 hour nap.

Answer

We never sleep trained either. Well, we tried for 2 nights for 15 minutes max and we could not handle any more than that. It wasn’t for us. My son is also up several times at night and we bedshare and boob to sleep 🙃

Answer

You can still sleep train at this age. We personally didn’t follow any program. What has helped us the most was having our daughter sleep in her own bed and when my daughter finally weaned from breast milk. Also sticking to her night routine. It helps a ton!!!
