He used to sleep through the night but for the past 3 weeks or so, he wakes up every night whether it be to eat or be comforted. When he finally falls asleep, he wakes up again crying as soon as he hits the crib!

Well, it seems like everybody has had some good sleepers! My first would get up three times a night until she ways one year old. She didn't respond to anything, and I tried! It wasn't until she started eating more regular protein and fiber, at least that is the Doc's excuse. My second slept wonderfully for six months each night. Then we went on vacation, and it threw her schedule off. It took two months before she went back to sleeping well. Now I have a new one, and she gets up at 4:30 every morning, for good. So I would just encourage you to try various things, and do them slowly. Don't worry about it to much. And you certainly can let them cry for a while. But as to the expectation that every baby will can be made to sleep through, what a misnomer. All babies are different, and so are their sleeping habits.

My ten month olds have been the same way. If your baby wakes up and doesn't need anything but comfort, let him crie it out. I know its hard but after a week maybe two it should help. And if you feel he is old enough to not use a bottle at night then only go to him if there is a serious problem. It took me three nights now my babies sleep great. Also make sure he is on a schedule and that will help alot.

I have a 4 month old daughter and she has been sleeping through the night since she was 4 weeks old. She sleeps on her belly and that's the only way that she will sleep. We're very lucky, I have to wake her up sometimes in the morning at 8:30, and she goes to bed at 7:30 pm. It works for us.

Dont let them sleep in your bed thats the first mistake that new parents make also dont let him take a long nap in the middle of the day once he gets older he wont want to take a nap at all.Let the baby sleep for about 45 minutes then once up dont let him fall back to sleep until he's fed a bath and then he should sleep through the night. Also I have found that the Bedtime body wash and lotions really do help.

First of all there is nothing wrong with the baby sleeping with you or comforting him when he cries. It's all in how you choose to parent. If you want to let him cry it out, that's your choice. If you don't, that's your choice too. So is cosleeping and crib sleeping.
My son cosleeps a lot, and sleeps in his bed some, and he doesn't care which place he is. I comfort him when he cries, he's never once "cried it out" I think it's barbaric to expect an infant to understand that just because it's night time, that he has to sleep all night.
Now, on to your question.
Try turning a fan on, pointed away from the bed, the noise puts my DS to sleep almost instantly.

I have an 8 month old so I can understand. OIder babies seem to get nightmares that wake them up or they are experiencing separation anxiety. Comforting is the best solution. I rub my daughters back and give her her pacifier until she settles down. If she started crying again I will at times just take her into bed with me. With my experience that is all you can do. It's just a phase.

Don't let ur baby sleep an the day time. If u do not for that long. And at night him less a 15 to 25 min bath a warm not to hot or cold. It will help relax most.

Sorry to hear that. With my 2 month old baby, she has been sleeping through the night since she was 3 weeks old. I bath my baby at night every other day with Baby Johnson nightime. It has chamolie in the body wash. This really clams her. I feed her right after bath time. I hope that this helped you.

when he wakes up, he is not hungry!!!! are you picking him up? that is the first mistake!!!! My son is now almost 5 months old, when he was 4 months old, he would fight going to sleep...for his naps!!! for 6 days, i kept putting him down for his naps he would cry, wake up, cry, wake up until i picked him up at the 2 hour mark. it takes about a week but well worth it cuz now i have peace, he sleeps for his naps. I had to put up with a lot of crying but it was well worth it for him to learn to go to sleep and not fight it
