My 10 month old does not sleep thru the nite?

Question

My now 10month old stopped sleeping thru the nite snce she turned 5 mts old
She was in our bed now in a mattress by me, she wakes up after an hour of going down then I pat her to sleep
Then she wakes up about 4 more times during the nite, she either is sitting up or is trying to stand.....
I put her on her stomach and then pat her down and then she will sleep
Sometimes she has some gas
I feed her well thru the day so she is not hungry
What can i do? I can't let her just lie and cry she will throw up
throws up everytime she cries

Answer 1

often they are just a little thirsty or too warm or too cold. The bed could be uncomfortable, the sleepers could be scratchy or if they are two peices they could be riding up in between her legs or up her stomach. My first two boys did not sleep through the night untill they were 13 months, every baby is different. Keep a cup near by and give her atiny sip from it, see if that helps first (it did with mine) No bottles or anything, then if it doesn't look at the other stuff I listed, good luck!!

Answer 2

awww. you must be exhausted. well, there's an answer to everything and i think i might know a few to your problem:

1. see a doctor. there are many common diseases (all perfectly normal and cureable) that babies will go through that include stomach problems. my sister as a baby would cry and throw up every time she ate, and ended up having a common stomach problem. a doctor will definitely help your baby and help you.

2. it might just be a common cold of flu. since babies catch anything and everything, try feeding her mild, light foods and give her some baby-friendly stomach easer.

3. it actually can be the simplest thing: your baby acting like a baby. but since this has happened for 5 months, i doubt it. try giving her some benedryl one night (baby friendly of course) and see if she sleeps through the night. it wont knock her out completely, but let her sleep a lot sounder.


im sure its not a huge problem, but a doctor will be useful. hope i helped. and get some sleep! you and ur child!

Answer 3

First off do NOT try the alcohol that is abuse! I am sure you won't but I saw that listed. My mom told me a warm baby will sleep well, I always made sure mine were warm, I always gave them warm milk before bedtime, she may take hers from a sippy cup now, and I would hold them and rock them and sing or read to them, and tell them I loved them very much several times, sometime I would put them in bed with me but we learned fast that is not a good idea to start, it is too hard to break it. We had a bedroom for them with a little bed in it and tried to keep the noise to a minimum and had a little speaker deal where we could hear them cry or fuss, it will come, you just have to sort of figure her system out, don't let her nap too much if she don't sleep at night, even if she is tired...................good luck, I know it is very hard but isn't she a sweety!!

Answer 4

If she's she still on the bottle you can try dicing up an onion ( yellow) and boil it in about 2 cups of water until its soft and dissolving, strain the broth let it cool and put in in her bottle at bed, its a natural sedative and it also relaxes a gassie baby and helps them sleep. you can also try keeping her up during the DAy no late naps, get her into a routine put her down around 11 or 12 but don't let sleep past 1 , keep her up playing and put to bed about 8.
good luck.

Answer 5

My one and only child did not sleep through the night til he was 3 years old. Luckily for me I didn't have to work the first 18 months. I have heard other mothers mention giving the baby a nice warm bath just before you lay them down, and give them a bottle when they are in their crib. That might help your baby sleep all through the night. I wish I had, gotten more advice when I had my son.

Good Luck!

Answer 6

I have 3 kids, and all went through some stages of getting up, but with my third I had read this book. It helped soooo much. Its not for everyone maybe, but you should try it. Its called "on becoming babywise" by Gary Ezzo. Its a real common sense, quick read that saved my sanity. Best of luck to you, and remember that even though you may have to do some tough things for the short term, you are doing it out of love and for the long run good of your and your baby's health.

Answer 7

If at all possible you should get your child into her own room and her own crib my first child slept in my bed until he was three and it was a nightmare. You should nip it in the bud while she is young Try a nightlight soft music My babies sleep with they're own little baby dolls I wish u the best though I know your pain also try giving her something other than milk before bed my daughter had issues with that

Answer 8

No alcohol, and not because I am so intolerant of the old ways, but because our kids need all the brain cells they can get to get ahead when they grow up. Alcohol kill those much needed cells

Every child is different. My six and ahalf year old sleeps about halfway through the night. my one year old sleeps like a rock. go figure.

they are all different. If you need to stay up all night then that's what you have to do.

You are not overly concerned with your child's sleeping habuts, you ar ea wonderfully caring mother. Just be there.

Answer 9

I have a baby and she is 10 months and she stopped sleeping through the night also.Until I gave her a extra bottle of milk or some juice before she goes to bed.Then she goes to sleep and sleeps the whole night.Have you thought of giving her an extra bottle of milk before her bed time ?Or some juice?If they are not full they will not sleep.So try that.It works perfectly for my baby.

Answer 10

Ok been there twice and soon to be a third time. even thought she eats all day try a warm bottle of formula or milk what ever she is on and put some kind of baby cereal in it, I really dont like rice myself cause it causes more problems then its worth. with my older daughter i found caffineefree hot coco that worked wonders. hope this helps.
