how do i get my kids to sleep all through the night?

Answer 1

Let them cry..... it'll probably take a couple nights, but it'll be worth it in the end!! Good luck

Answer 2

This is one of the most difficult things to answer. every kid is different. I too have this battle almost every night and my girls are 4 and 2. They have good nights and bad nights, but when my youngest was a baby i hated the idea of letting her "cry it out" as everyone tells you to do. I tried it and couldn't do it! It was way to hard. When they cry you are supposed to comfort them not ignore them, so i found this great book called "The No Cry Sleep Solution" i bought it on eBay and it was an awesome book. You use sleep logs and other things to get into a new routine. Sadly i didn't follow through with the whole book. and now I am wishing i would have. You might try that. They also have it at the library if you wanted to check it out first and see if its right for you. Hope this helps! Have a great day!

Answer 3

Daughter went with the aid of from 12 weeks except teething, ill and so on, Son on different hand grew to become into very unsettled until approximately 18 months, final baby slept from virtually day one and nonetheless likes her mattress!! i think of they're in simple terms all distinctive - even whilst from precisely an identical mildew. see you later as he no longer ill in any incorrect way i would not panic, dont make night feeds too great, no eye touch purely a drink ( water) and returned to mattress, if there is no longer something great to awaken for he will finally get the assumption of dozing with the aid of.

Answer 4

Don't make a big thing of it. Plenty of exercise in the afternoon and don't let them get overtired. Depending on how old they are, 6pm isn't too early to put them to bed if you see them yawning (even when they first start school). Read them a story, make sure they are warm and comfortable and perhaps leave a story playing on cassette/cd when you turn the light out. Never make sending them to their room a punishment, their bedrooms should be places associated with comfort and relaxation, not punishment! I would be interested to hear how it goes.

Good luck.

Answer 5

You need to have the play and get exercise so that they are tired at night. If they take a nap during the day do let them, that way they will be tired at night

Answer 6

as a mum to 4 kids, ive allways just given them a kiss at night after tucking them in and if they cired they cried they soon, got fed up with crying and gave up after a few night of it.my youngest is 19 months old and he goes right into a crying faze when hes put down for a sleep, but i just shut the door and ignore him and he soon falls asleep.

the secret is to not give into them, as kids are very crafty if they can use crying to get your attention and if you give in, your makeing things alot worse for them and hard work for yourself.

my eldest is 18yrs old and goes to university next year so didnt do too bad lol.

hopes this helps

Answer 7

it depends how old they are but NEVER GIVE IN
the first time you give in means you have to start all over again
When my son was a baby he would never sleep through as i would always let him fall asleep on me and then put him to bed, i read a book about it and was told to put them to bed and leave them to cry, only going into the room every 10 mins but not touching them or speaking, just letting them know your there you have to do that each time they cry through the night (provided they dont need nappy changing etc obviously sort that out first)
but then increase the time you leave them to cry for to 15 mins then 20.
It was hard to leave them crying but by day 3 he was sleeping through completely,
the next problem you face is when they move out of their cot into a bed and they can freely get out and try to get in with you,
In this case you have to be firm read them a story and then tell them they have to go to sleep, if they get up in the night and try to get in with you just lead them back to their own beds settle them and go back to bed yourself, this can also be a lenghty process but they will get the message eventually.
Remember Dont give in, You need your sleep too
Good luck

Answer 8

a lot of it is habit go into them the first time they wake be all reassuring put them back into bed say goodnight, the next time it happens,go into them but don't speak don't matter what they say just put them back to bed keep this up but do not communicate in any way it usually takes about a week to sort out.

Answer 9

Take them out for a run, then give them some hot food and cocoa and just before bed a large shot of whisky.

Answer 10

Put them in their beds, kiss them good night, turn off the lights, close the door. If they cry let them, it's not gonna kill them to cry, if they get up put them back in their bed and repeat.
