How can I get my 18 mo. old to sleep thru the night? She wakes at least once, rarely sleeps all night. Thanks

Answer 1

ask dr phil. lol

Answer 2

Give her a nice warm bath right before bed. That's how I got my son to sleep through the night, and it's worked for these first 3 years of his life. When he does wake during the night, I DO go to him, but that's not very often. Good Luck

Answer 3

Limit how much the child sleeps during the day. You have to remember, 1 nap is all it takes, usually around 1 or 2 in the afternoon and only for 1 hour or so. If you start the training now, it will carry on for the rest of their lives.

Hello,
My daughter is now 14 months and u all r wrong!! The old saying goes eat when u r hungry, drink when u r thirsty, and sleep when u r tired. Thats what we do and babies r the same. Yes make sure they r full. But babies need alot of your love and attention! My husband and I have let our daughter sleep with us since she was born, yes it is hard sometimes but we love her and we have the rest of our lives. They r only little once. Remember that.

Answer 5

Answer 6

I'd also say a bit of cereal before bed, she is probably waking up b/c she is hungry...either that or she is lonely, does she have a special blanket, or stuffed animal that she hugs? If she doesn't find a soft one that she seems to like and put that to bed with her, that really helped my daughters! Good Luck

Answer 7

my 3 and 2 year olds dont even sleep through the night still

Answer 8

Use one of those noise machines in her room on low.. It is hard for an adult to sleep sometimes too.. Try a snack, a little bit before bed.. Nothing sweet...

Answer 9

Make sure her tummy is full and that she is dry. If this isn't working then I think you need to talk to your pediatrician about it. There may be a medical issue that needs attention.

Answer 10

Answer 11
