baby back to sleep/a break through!
Happy New Year! I just wanted to post about my experience yesterday for those
of you who might be going through the same thing. My son (4 1/2 months) has been having trouble waking during his naps and at night time. The trouble is that after about an hour of daytime napping he wakes and is unable to settle back to sleep w/o nursing. I have been reading The No Cry Sleep Solution and using her suggestions. Yesterday during his nap he woke up exactly one hour after being put down, began to fuss a little, I rushed in the room and sat on the bed next to him (his eyes were still closed) patted his back, and said shhh shhh, he settled back to sleep within a minute or two and slept for another hour and a half. I was so thrilled! This is the first time it has ever worked. Another great surprise, last night he DIDN'T wake up an hour after bedtime, he slept from 7:30 until 12 AM with NO waking! At 12 we nursed back to sleep, he slept straight through again until 4 AM, when we nursed back to sleep until 7AM. So...I strongly recommend Elizabeth Pantley's No Cry Sleep Solution if you are having trouble with night or nap time wakings. ~Tracy |

baby back to sleep/a break through! ( HELP )
Hello from australia
We have an 11 month old that WILL NOT go down unless he is nursed! He also only sleeps for a maximum of 90 mins at any one time - he wakes about 6 times a night between 12 - 7am. Our relation ship is not going to good as a result of this stress I have tried so hard to try and help but he is so addicted to being nursed itsnot funny. HELP HELP ! In one month were heading offf to a sleep clinic in Syndey and were hoping that will help. Stay tunned Mike "All4meUC" wrote in message ... Happy New Year!

I was able to do this with my other kids but this one won't have it. He
won't settle for anything less than nursing back to sleep. Kris "All4meUC" wrote in message ... Happy New Year!

Hi Mike,
This sounds quite within the normal pattern for an 11 month old. Mine DD was the same at that age (now 15 months and often still has this pattern, but sometimes will sleep for 4 hours in a row). She sleeps better if she has had a LONG (1.5-3 hour) daytime nap. I think that is probably the effect that the original poster is seeing. What exactly are you expecting from the sleep clinic? (just curious) Have you considered that maybe your little munchkin is quite normal in his sleep behaviour? ROSIE "Mike" wrote in message ...

I think that is probably the effect that the original poster is seeing. I agree about a good daytime nap helping but I DO NOT agree that 90min sleeps and 6 wake ups between 12-7am is normal at that age! I certainly wouldn't be happy with a sleep pattern like that. Just because it happens to more than one child doesn't it's normal. Or more to the point, it doesn't mean that it's something to be "put up with". I hope the sleep clinic has some good advice because bad sleep for babies and therefore their parents can be incredibly stressful. I think it's totally reasonable for you to seek a solution to your sons sleep problem. Judy |

I didn't say it was 'normal' - I said it was within the normal pattern for an 11 month old. There is a massive variation of 'normal'. But I don't think it's at all unusual, especially for breastfed babies whose mothers don't want them to cry it out. From my group of friends this is a fairly common pattern - there are at least three of us who are still waking, many nights, every 90 minutes or even more, with babies much older than 11 months. I don't have that many friends, but I'm sure we're not a freaky sample. : ) Just my experience and from the many posts here about it, it doesn't seem uncommon. ROSIE |

You are right this is pretty common on these groups, and hey and what's "normal" anyway :-) My philosophy is pretty much that if the whole family are happy then theres no problem. So if you are waking this often and it's not a problem then it's not a problem! But to be honest it would drive me crazy, I just couldn't function like that. The OP obviously has a problem with it too so I wanted her to know that not eveyone thinks that it's a "go with it and it will pass" situation. Personally I would be desperate to get the baby sleeping better and would be getting all the advice I could to help. Judy ROSIE |
