My six month old still doesnt sleep through the night. She wakes up once or twice sometimes a night. She drinks close to 24 oz a day and I started feeding her baby food in the afternoon. I have a bedtime routine for her to go to sleep and she does go to sleep on her own. I need help anything you can give!!

That's not to uncommon. I have 4 sons. One slept through the night after 9 months, the second was 5 days old, the twins took 2 yrs.

Try feeding her cereal mixed with her formula right before bedtime. It worked like a charm for both my girls. I would also start adding other baby foods to her diet. Start with Veggies and give her a little bit in the afternoon. She is probably growing rapidly and burning right thru the milk and needs more. Good luck I know its hard to function on little sleep.

My 22 month old still wakes up in the night sometimes. Some babies just take longer than others to get this down. Try feeding him thicker rice cereal just before bed, this always helped when mine was little. And make sure they play alot during the day to wear them out.

hello, well the age old sleep question, huh?? Well, I have 2 little ones and what I did to help them sleep through the night is to limit nap times. Do they have nap times during the day? If so, can you limit the time the baby is sleeping? Also making bathtime right before bedtime works really well to make them sleepy and relaxed. One other trick is to feed them baby cereal before bathtime, it helps to fill there little tummys.

Let her cry it out. The same thing happened to my cousins 6 month old and she read in a book a nurse gave her that said the baby is so use to having a bottle threw the night it said the only way to break them of this habit is to let them cry it out and go to sleep. I know it will be super hard because no one wants to hear there child cry. Good luck to you.

Is she waking up hungry? If so, add some cereal to her last bottle for the night. Otherwise, if she's not hungry, let her lay there for a little while and see if she goes back to sleep

I put cereal in my son's bottle at his last feeding. He sleeps from about 10 p.m. until about 5a.m.
